2. Garou: Mark Of The Wolves

Don't let its pixellated exterior fool you, Garou: Mark of the Wolves is one of the most hardcore, storied fighters in gaming history. The fourth in the Fatal Fury franchise, MotW is the apex of SNK's proficiency with the 2D fighting genre as it was in the 90s.

Gorgeous animation, a solid roster of fighters, pick up n' play mechanics that underscore meticulously balanced checks and balances, ensuring once you resonate with a specific character, perfecting their moveset feels incredibly rewarding - this is one of those rare games where a developer was working to the peak of their abilities.

Innovations like last-minute block-reversals and the trading of special attack meters for more health haven't aged a day, and with the standard drop-in local co-op enabling of the Switch's controller setup, this just beat Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers to the punch... at least for now.
