World Heroes Anthology Coming to PS2
When most people think of fighting games, it’s Street Fighter that usually comes to mind. SNK Playmore doesn’t want you to forget that they’ve had quite a few popular fighting game franchises too. They’ve got Fatal Fury, for example, which introduced us to a certain “me bouncy” girl. They’ve got King of Fighters, which paved the way to team-based fighting games. And then they’ve got World Heroes, a strange fighting game that took character inspiration from all sorts of sources. You can’t deny that Dragon looks a little too much like Bruce Lee and Rasputin is, well, Rasputin. Talk about a mad monk!
Well, while it may not be one of the best fighting games of all-time, World Heroes is trekking its way over to American PS2 consoles. SNK Playmore USA has announced that they are porting World Heroes Anthology to the PlayStation 2 and the collection is scheduled for release next Spring. The package wraps all of the World Heroes games you’ve come to know (and forget) into one convenient title. You get World Heroes, World Heroes 2, World Heroes 2 Jet, and World Heroes Perfect.
It’s only a matter of time before each of these winds up on the Wii Virtual Console. For 900 Wii Points each.
