A very fun fighting game that has not been officially released on modern consoles or PC that would benefit the community that still enjoys playing today and introduce more players.
a very quirky, fast paced 3d fighter created in a heavily modified fighting vipers game and virtua fighter engine, that has an unique style that still to this day looks great, a little but great competitive community that still manages to show how this game can actually be mad fun, i used to play it on sonic gems collection for gamecube, and now still playing it on my xbox 360 with tons of features that included playable honey the cat for arcade mode, and playable metal sonic and eggman in versus mode my reason to wish this game being on GOG apart of the commodities of pc, is to preserve what i consider one of the must underrated sonic game ever, and one of my favourite sonic games of all time

Even if I'm not fond of the fighting genre, it was fun playing with Sonic and the other characters. Bark was my main GOAT with his reach and grabs. Wish the remastered version with Honey the Cat was available on all platforms instead of byuing a Like a Dragon spinoff just for that.

Me and my family played this game for hours in gatherings and parties, it's a really fun fighting game and the cartoonish effects made it funny and quite charming. Even today I still respect and love this game, and the soundtrack is incredible too.

Game of my childhood, I still remember when I played this in the Sonic Gem Collection and I always got stuck with Bank or Fang. I want my revenge now that I'm an adult.
Considering the game has been ported multiple times on different hardware over the years, it is unlikely they are unable to port it here. We just need a little push!

Nidhogg
NidhoggNidhogg is the award-winning fencing tug-of-war, full of graceful acrobatics and clumsy stabs. This is the ultimate two-player showdown of fast-paced fencing and melee attacks. Beware, advantages in Nidhogg are often fleeting, as new opponents continually spawn in your way. Use a variety of fencing maneuvers while armed -- lunges, parries, and even dirty tricks like throwing your sword. If swordless, press forward with punches, sweep kicks, dive kicks, rolls, and wall jumps.

Bloody Roar 4
Bloody Roar 4During the XGC (X-Genome Code) Incident one year ago, riots raged over the earth by beasts that did not show the XCG, and all over the country small earthquakes shook the land. The cause was unknown, but as the Crest Incident came to an end and the rioting and earthquakes subsided, people began to claim that all was due to the influence of the Stone Seal. Although the Stone Seal has been locked away, the rioting and earthquakes have returned. This time, the incidents are on a larger scale than those of a year ago. What could be behind it all? Bloody Roar 4 is the last title in the series, and is once again a full-3D fighting game featuring the series' trademark transformation abilities. Unlike previous titles in the series, the beast gauge now acts as its own health bar; if a character's health gauge is depleted, they will automatically transform. The game features 18 playable fighters and a variety of game modes, including standard arcade, versus, time-attack, training, and survival modes. Of special mention is the career mode, in which fighting battles will earn so-called "DNA points," which can be spent on abilities and equipment to customize a character for use in other modes.
