ShaqDown: Follow-up to Shaq Fu may release this month for Android and iOS

Ahhh… after a super long break of about 18 years, I am amazed and excited to see the name of Shaq Fu shining on the horizon again. Those who are blessed with a great memory must remember the game, for those who eat almonds to sharpen their memory, Shaq Fu is a 2D fighting game that featured popular basketball star Shaquille O'Neal (also known as Shaq). The game was released by Electronic Arts in October 1994 and received many negative reviews; it even won the worst video game title by Gametrailers. You must be thinking, what’s the point in discussing the old forgotten game? Folks, brace yourself to see its follow-up, ShaqDown which is scheduled to land this month for Android and iOS fans.

ShaqDown will be released by Hiptic Games, the developers of smashing hit Go Ninja. The game has been designed after a lot of research, as stated by Long Vo, Hiptic Games co-founder and creative director. It “is set in a postapocalyptic world where Shaq has become a legend, and it’s up to him to save humanity from mutant zombies.”

Yes, you will be getting a fierce face-off between the powerful Shaq and evil squad of zombies that have returned from the hell. The best part is that Hiptic Games has given special attention to game controls, which was extremely criticized in Shaq Fu. I am looking forward to see Shaq back in action after so long, what about you? The date of impact is not finalized but hopefully Android, iPhone and iPad owners will be able to enjoy ShaqDown before the New Year rings the chimes.
