The Rumble Fish 2 Review
This is the kind of package we hope for when a relatively unloved, but largely excellent arcade title is ported for a modern system. There’s no slacking here, with all the options and modes a fighting game fan could desire, updated visuals for modern displays, and that all-important rollback netcode for online skirmishes. Superior to its already very enjoyable predecessor, it will be great to see the online fighting game community revive The Rumble Fish 2 in a way that never really happened with its original arcade release. Ideally, both the original game and this sequel should be on a single package — and DLC paywalls be damned — but this is a well-executed port of the best entry in this short-lived series.
