THE FUTURE IS NOW

Speaking of next-gen fighting games, here's 2D brawler Legend of Raven from Nicalis, a team of ex-SNK devs. Set in 1926, Raven imagines a divergent Showa era in which fascism and political totalitarianism are traded out for scrappy, isolationist ninja cops. Legend of Raven features hand-animated characters by Kotani Tomoyuki, the resident King of Fighters artist during the NEST series.
