In 1994, All-Star NBA center Shaquille O'Neal, then of the Orlando Magic, was becoming one of the biggest names in the sport alongside Michael Jordan. So naturally he was going to get some major endorsements and tie-in licenses. One such license was Shaq-Fu, a one-on-one fighting game similar to Street Fighter II for the Super Nintendo and Sega Mega Drive starring Shaq himself. Although reception was mixed upon release it has since become a legend amongst bad games and is considered to be one of the worst games of all-time.

24 years later, the unthinkable happended.....Shaq Fu got a sequel. Indeed, a legend is reborn. How does this compare to the original? There was only one way to find out, and that was forcing myself to sit through and play the damn thing, and the only way you're going to know is by forcing yourself to sit through and watch the damn thing....there will be a quiz about about it later* so I expect you all to do very well.
