It's also known for its numerous updates and major revisions (spanning all the way up to 2015, nearly 10 years after the original game's release).
The tale of Soul Calibur continues in the series's fourth entry, adding a variety of new game modes and features (including an in-depth character creation system).

A package of both Dead or Alive and a Dead or Alive 2 (recreated for the Xbox) both enabled with online play.
Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition is the second GBA "port" of Deadly Alliance.
Capcom vs. SNK is a fighting game published for the systems SEGA Dreamcast and PSone. It's an update of Capcom Vs SNK.
The third main entry in the Soul series, Soulcalibur II is best known for its release on all three major consoles at the time, each of them featuring their own exclusive guest character.
The fourth main installment in the Tekken series, bringing the game engine to the PS2 era and experimenting with a variety of new gameplay mechanics (such as closed arenas, where players can use walls and other obstacles for consecutive combos).
The King of Fighters '99 is the sixth installment of the King of Fighters series, introducing new gameplay mechanics such as the "Striker" system. It also introduces a new protagonist, K', as well as a new, darker story arc involving the mysterious cartel called NESTS.
The fourth main installment of the Tekken franchise compiles nearly every character featured in the series' three previous games. It also adds a "tag team" mechanic for two-on-two battles.
The sequel to Namco's earlier fighting game Soul Edge, continuing the story of the cursed blade "Soul Edge" (now corrupting the noble knight Siegfried into the dreaded knight Nightmare).
Mortal Kombat 4 is the fourth installment of one of the most violent fighting game franchises of all time, moving the series to 3D while introducing limited weapon-based combat.
Set nearly twenty years after the events of its predecessor, the third Tekken features an overhauled roster and reworked 3D movement system, and the console version adds new characters and minigames.
After numerous iterations of Street Fighter II (and its spin-off Street Fighter Alpha series), Capcom continues its classic fighting game series with a new cast of fighters, a higher-quality graphical style, and revamped gameplay mechanics (introducing the "parry" and "Super Art" systems).
The sequel to the heavily-hyped but critically reviled game Rise of the Robots. This 2D fighter continued the story of the first game, adding new characters, and Mortal Kombat-style finishing moves. Brian May returned to provide some music for the game.

Introducing a unique limb-based control scheme, Tekken is Namco's answer to Sega's Virtua Fighter series. Spawned a long-running arcade fighting game series.
