The only things I'd change would be replacing the original Art of Fighting with AoF3 (because it's the only one that really still holds up today).


Sounds like someone can't get past spoiler[Mr. Karate] :3c

Nope, more like the first two AoF games just haven't aged well. They're not bad fighting games, and the size of the character sprites are still amazing looking to this very day, but neither really holds up in terms of gameplay. They're both fairly clunky to play, & the spirit gauge, though a neat idea, is just not that well realized in those first two games. AoF3 simply has smoother gameplay, more responsive controls, & the spirit gauge there is handled well. Also, I like the rotoscoped visuals.

Admittedly, Art of Fighting in general isn't one of my favorite SNK franchises (I like the characters in KOF, but not so much in their own games), but I fully understand having one AoF game in the Mini's roster, and since most of the other franchises included outright skip their first entry (unless the entire series is included, ala Metal Slug, Shock Troopers, & King of the Monsters), then I'd rather have AoF3 over AoF1.

That Robotech game isn't new. It's a re-release of the Gameboy Advance title of the same name.

Wow, the article's writer was on autopilot doing their research on this.

Typical Robotech, recycling old material under a new skin while everyone else just wants Macross licensed.
