At last night's The Game Awards 2015, a trailer for one of the most highly anticipated retrogames of 2016 made its premiere. And what game, might you ask? Only the martial arts filled follow-up to the Shaquille O'Neal vehicle Shaq-Fu.
Developed by Big Deez Productions, Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn is the follow-up to its 16-bit predecessor, which was released in 1994. The game promises to be "a highly exclusive, limited-run product that will certainly become a collectors item," according to the IndieGoGo campaign page that was used to fund the game.
Here is how Big Deez described the new Shaq-Fu, which was made possible by a collaboration with the famous former basketball star himself:
"Shaq Fu is what the original game should have been - an instant classic. We're talking Streets of Rage meets Street Fighter meets Devil May Cry. It's a modern day take on the classic beat 'em up. Play as Shaquille O'Neal - learn hundreds of moves and battle techniques, take on thousands of enemies with dozens of cool melee weapons, battle bosses in dynamic arenas, master cool finishing moves and play with your buddies in COOP mode or against each other in player vs player combat."
The game itself will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
The original Shaq-Fu was recently spoofed on the ABC Family sitcom Fresh Off The Boat.
