Developed by RheoGamer, a brand new port of Real Bout Fatal Fury for the Mega Drive is now available to download. Now titled Real Bout Fatal Fury Genesis, you can click here to be taken to the direct download link, but the amount of traffic this link is currently receiving is making it difficult to access the page at the time of writing.
Real Bout Fatal Fury is the 5th entry in SNK’s Fatal Fury series, originally released in arcades in 1995. It has only received ports to the Neo Geo AES, Neo Geo CD, Saturn and PlayStation prior to this homebrew port. You can check out the reveal trailer via the embed below. The video description for the trailer will also be the easiest way to access the official download link for the game if it gets updated with a more stable link:
Duranik’s impressive 2013 Dreamcast shoot-em-up Sturmwind is getting a new pressing through independent publisher VGNYsoft.

This version is limited to 500 copies.
While pre-orders haven’t opened just yet, the listings are available on the VGNYsoft online store now. See below for direct links and pricing:
