It was a surprise when it was announced, and perhaps even more of a surprise when it got funded, but Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn will be an actual video game that is actually released this year. That's the good news. The bad news? The title will not launch with co-op.

According to the folks over at Nintendo Everything, Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn is on its way to the Nintendo Switch, raising the console's game library to, like... five.

Back in July 2014, Co-Optimus wrote a little story all about a giant basketball player called Shaquille O'Neal who was having a new Shaq-Fu game made.  Fast forward 18 months and nothing was heard about Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn until now.  A new trailer for the game has been announced and at this point it feels like it should be known as Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn, Reborn Again.

A long, long time ago, way back in the year 1994, there was a little game called Shaq Fu. Starring the colossal basketball player Shaquille O'Neal, Shaq Fu was a truly atrocious 2d fighter clearly made in a last-minute effort to milk Mr. O'Neal's vast popularity. The moves were finicky even by the standards of the day and the controls were unresponsive garbage. Everyone hated it then, and it has transformed from a dumb, bad fighter into a joke spanning the range of human consciousness.
