For those of you who aren’t aware, Garou: Mark of the Wolves was a 2D fighter from SNK, the company that has brought us Metal Slug, Last Blade and the King of Fighters amongst others. In 1999 they launched Garou: Mark of the Wolves in Japanese arcades.
The game is highly regarded to this day as one of SNK’s best releases and one of the best 2D fighters ever crafted. Pushing SNK’s home console, the Neo Geo, to its absolute limits in 2000 and arriving on the Dreamcast about a year later (which is the platform I have the game on).
In 2009 it received a re-release on Xbox Live Arcade and now SNK’s official twitter is teasing a new release. While PC isn’t confirmed, SNK has been rather active on PC as of late and as such PC isn’t out of the question.
We’ll update with any more info.
Spencer joined us in early 2015, previously a console centric gamer he switched to PC a few years ago. He later helped push for an increase in Japanese content on PC with the #SEGAPCPorts campaign. Previously he ran a SEGA fansite as well as co-hosted a gaming podcast. He thinks Duke Nukem 3D is the best FPS of all time, his text message alert on his phone is literally Duke Nukem saying “Let God sort ’em out.”

OMG!! OMG!!! this is huge surprise for me. I love the original one and player a lot with just keyboard but I really love it. I love Fighting game. I don’t have any arcade stick but I can play fighting game with keyboard.

Keyboard is better than the controller, but nothing can beat the Arcade stick.
Yeah! I know. I will buy an Arcade stick soon! I really miss those days when I played lots of Fighting games in the arcade 🙂
You are not the only one… i have a plan to build one next year. 😀
The game isnt coming to PC, since 2002 UM is coming on february 27th and SNK is not gonna release a game on pc that soon, since on PC their releases counts with extra features like online and rankings. Anyways this surely is coming for PSN or smartphones, for idiots who doesnt know how to use a emulator.
Play tonnes of this on Winkawaks many years ago because the arcade machine never came out in our country. Nice it is finally getting a Re-Release, still hopeful for a HD version in the future.
Wasn’t there a survey by SNK asking which games we would like to see on PC? Garou won this by far when I recall correctly.
wow I 1st played this in the arcades then on my Dreamcast. I hope they are not asking to much for it on Steam.
so when is this gonna come to pc?
