Who remembers the original Shaq-Fu back during the 16-bit era? I remember picking up this title for my cousin’s birthday and playing the crap out of it, even though it was probably one of the worst rated fighting games, ever. Despite this, I remember having a grand old time playing this because SHAQ!

Well, Shaq is back, or will be back in 2016 with an all new fighting game, Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn. This will probably be just as cheesy as the original game, but fans of Shaq will probably not be disappointed.
