QuoteShaquille O'Neal confirms that Shaq Fu 2 is "coming soon" in an exclusive interview with GamerFitNation at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Shaq Fu

"The graphics look crazy," says O'Neal. Gamers could see Shaq Fu 2 on next-generation consoles in the near future.

Watch the video for the full interview:

Gamers may remember the original Shaq Fu, released for the Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Game Boy, Game Gear and Amiga in 1994. The game received wildly varying reviews, and is featured on numerous lists of the worst games ever made. The game also has some hardcore fans, though, so they'll surely be looking forward to the release of Shaq Fu 2.

This comes after the news last year that Shaq's media company filed trademarks for the name 'Shaqfighter' as well as several trademarks on 'Shaq Fu.'

It's happening, you guys.  By the gods it's actually happening.

just want to say this is great news

and before any of y'all try to go all faux-AVGN in this topic i'mma just say opinions exist and everything

but if you don't think the character designs and atmosphere of shaq fu were really imaginative you are absolutely wrong

i hope to also see the same thing if this ever comes to fruition. because if the gameplay were fixed up shaq fu could have been a legitimately great game

let's just hope the developers for this won't be making this intentionally bad or anything

I had the game for genesis, im not dissing the game but a sequel after this long is completely unexpected.

I wonder if they will still use the same basic designs, that would be interesting.

Time to pre-order.

Going to be weird to hear whatever they do for his lines after getting used to hearing his Scary Movie lines from The None's Shaq here in Mugen.

I never would've imagined that us as gamers would get another big F-U from Shaq himself :3

From what I understand, the PAL versions of the game were a bit more polished in terms of input commands and AI. Controls were still wonky but it was more playable than the versions we got here.

they better not intentionally make it suck at least

that would be legit fucking cringe-worthy

MR. IBZS II

This looks like a actually good buy! I am so trying this!

Hyogo

Best fucking news of 2014.

Honestly, I loved the fucked up story of the Original but I'm hoping they make this sequel more playable.

DNZRX768

I did NOT see this coming.

I guess Hell has frozen over now that this happened!

Honestly, I am curious on how this turns out.

I doubt it is going to shake loose of the Shaq-Fu reputation from before...
Hug the Pikachus!

Hell freezing over?  When a comedic fighting game gets announced?

Polar Vortex fatality confirmed. (Thundersnow likely?)

Why would you want it to lose its reputation?  So long as they take example from Mortal Kombat or Killer Instinct's latest revivals, they should remain as absurd and comical as ever.

It's a fighting game about this guy, after all.

D, The Red Cloak

You guys thing that the developers would get a few ideas from The_None's Shaq?
