9. Garou: Mark Of The Wolves

One of the most overlooked fighting games in history, the cult classic Garou: Mark of the Wolves is an extremely well-regarded, pixel-perfect fighter for those who didn't get their fill with Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers. 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 - not to mention that art style is simply stunning in motion.

Indeed, animation is routinely gorgeous no matter if you're flinging fireballs or coming crashing down with an heel kick, and a solid roster of fighters with pick up n' play mechanics underscore meticulous checks and balances applied to each character.

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, the only hangup is not having an analogue stick for movement on the separated Joy Con L.
