It's been 25 years since the release of the last Fatal Fury fighting game, which is why it's so exciting that a new sequel, titled City of the Wolves, is finally releasing in 2025. Ahead of the launch, POWER-UP host Sam Stone went hands-on with the game and interview the team at SNK behind the series' revival.
Coincidentally, the last Fatal Fury game released on the very underrated Sega Dreamcast, which also turned 25 this year. Sam and Games Editor Matthew Byrd look back at the console's best moments, why it was so ahead of its time, and why it was ultimately the final home console Sega ever released.
In a special PC Gaming segment, Sam talks about how Razer's free apps, Cortex and Axon, have leveled up his gaming experience, from decking out his machine with the perfect customized wallpaper to boosting the performance of his favorite games.
