Review Art of Fighting 3: The Path of the Warrior (Switch eShop / Neo Geo)
Impressive fighting finale
HAMSTER’s ACA Neo Geo series has brought a number of one-on-one brawlers to the Switch, and now here’s another one. The first Art of Fighting game may have been visually impressive for its time, but it was lacking in the gameplay department meaning there was little reason to pick it up on Switch. Laughing in the face...
Review Art of Fighting 3: The Path of the Warrior (Wii Virtual Console / Neo Geo)
Third time's a charm?
Art of Fighting sprang onto the Neo Geo arcade scene in 1993 and brought with it several innovations that would become a staple of future Neo fighting titles. For one thing the game featured huge character sprites, some spanning nearly the height of the screen. It also introduced the now famous SNK zoom system that would keep...

Thats another series completed on Wii Virtual Console. Played this in the Art of Fighting collection on PS2 but wasn't a fan. I didn't really like any of the Art of Fighting games, however I do like seeing the characters cross over to King of Fighters. More Art of Fighting characters in new KoF games please, SNK.
The AES version (the version on the VC) can go for over $1000. For $9 this is a great value.
this was announced recently for north america's wii V.C. which is great. it should be a while until it hits european shores.
Art Of Fighting 3: The Path Of The Warrior is Coming Soon On The EU Virtual Console
