‘Knuckle Heads’ Returns: A Classic Fighting Game Revival

Namco’s 1993 fighting game, Knuckle Heads, is confirmed to be released on August 15th for the PS4 and Nintendo Switch in Japan, with international versions expected soon after on select platforms. However, some regions, including the UK and parts of Europe, may not receive the game on PS4 or Nintendo Switch, and the reasons for this are currently being investigated.

Knuckle Heads, which originally launched in arcades, is built on Namco’s NA-2 hardware and features six characters representing different countries, each wielding various weapons like kusarigama and tonfas. The game includes a single-player tournament mode, but its main draw is the multiplayer mode, allowing four players to compete simultaneously.
