Sabertooth Posted January 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) Release Date: In Development Retail: TBD Developer(s): Mega Cat Studios Publisher: Atari Synopsis: "Dodge! Dip! Dinner Roll! Food Fight unleashes all manner of food-based frenzy upon players looking to take control of the food court! Featuring single-player, co-op, and online multiplayer modes, the reimagined new game offers a plethora of potential gameplay scenarios, further supported by procedurally generated environments to ensure the food fighting fun never goes stale. Players can collect and choose from over 30 individual weapons, items, and special pick-ups, each with their own kitchen characteristics, such as “slippery” or “sticky.” Inspired by the original game which debuted in arcades in 1983, and then followed on the Atari 7800 in 1986, Food Fight sees players take on the role of Charley Chuck, a boy whose desire for ice cream sees him fall into trouble with a gang of mischievous chefs — Angelo, Oscar, and Zorba. Players must utilize speed and cunning to avoid enemies, or choose a different route and engage in intense open combat where the food does all the work! It’s a satisfying battle of condiment splats, entree explosions, and succulent shrapnel."

Sabertooth Posted January 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) Not a lot is known about the Food Fight remake. What we do know is that it is planned for release this quarter and will be coming to the Atari VCS first as a timed exclusive. Mega Cat Studios has a reputation for quality output in the retro-modern space so that can only be a good thing! I'm a huge fan of the original and I'm hopeful that this iteration - which is the first time the game has been revisited - will satisfy fans of the arcade classic. Are you excited about the Food Fight remake? What are you hoping to see from the game? See the full announcement here.

Justin Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Is there any update on Food Fight? This was the game I was looking forward to most and I worry it will become vaporware and the holy grail of this renascence era of Atari.

Sabertooth Posted January 10 Author Report Share Posted January 10 @Justin- There haven't been any meaningful updates on Food Fight. During their November Discord chat to discuss the delay of Atari 50 for the VCS, Food Fight came up in the open Q&A. Atari's marketing head said it was still in development and he hopes it comes out in 2023. I guess we will see.

I remember Sky Fox was one of the games I was most looking forward to on Atari 7800 when it was new, and much later on was hoping for ElectroCop. Of course those are two to become infamously "lost." Even Impossible Mission, another one of my favorites and most wanted games, which was of course released and pulled, became "impossible" for me to find back in the day. Here's to hoping Food Fight doesn't become SwordQuest: Air World. In fact, if Atari is out there reading this, I want to thank them for likely taking the time they need to make the new Food Fight perfect, and get things just right, rather than rush a game out the door that could've benefitted from a little more dev time. It's possible they play tested the game and found it undercooked. I'm happy to wait, but let's not let it fall forever into the abyss.
