Wiki

World Heroes (ワールドヒーローズ^?) is a series of fighting games created by ADK originally created for the Neo Geo MVS arcade cabinets with the assistance of SNK, though some of the games in the series were also ported to the Neo Geo AES and Neo-Geo CD platforms, as well as some non-SNK platforms such as the Super NES and the Sega Saturn.
While it was created during the years when Street Fighter II was at its peak in popularity, many dismissed World Heroes as another generic "SF clone." Though it has some unique concepts, the controls being considered clunky and its "ripoff" reputation harmed sales. Due to this, the series was discontinued with World Heroes Perfect, although it has received a cult following mainly around Neo Geo fans.^{[citation needed]}
The general premise is that a scientist, Dr. Brown, having perfected a time machine, organized a tournament for various fighters throughout all of history to combat each other. True to this plot, many of the fighters are based on actual historical figures.

Of all the SF clones out there, this is the only one that truly aped it with no shame at all and didnt do a good job at it either. Some of the reason lies in the sluggish controls. The first two games can be a chore to get out moves, plus the AI is ultra cheap which would … more

World Heroes Anthology - Oh please. Send me some real heroes.

A scientist by the name of Dr. Brown uses his time machine to gather up 8 fighters, and holds a tournament with the purpose of crowning one of them as the greatest fighter of all time.-summary The story is no doubt just as lame as most of the games. For those who may not remember, and don't feel bad if you don't. World Heroes was another arcade style fighter by ADK for Neo Geo, that was meant to overthrow Street Fighter II in the arcades as the king of fighters back … more
