Fighting games are better than ever, and there is a wide variety of titles people can try. Not only in the Japanese space, but Western fighting games are finally in the competitive scene as well. We hope to see more collaborations like this in the future. Japanese developers have always lead the fighting games industry and continue to release excellent titles all over the world. Bandai Namco Entertainment released Tekken 7, Soulcalibur VI, and Dragon Ball FighterZ in the past few years, and all of these are hits. These titles are also being supported and keep growing.
