<p>Back in 2024, Katsuhiro Harada had an interesting conversation with Shuhei Yoshida during the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences’ Game Maker’s Notebook podcast. <a href='https://www.videogameschronicle.com...o-they-can-shift-responsibility-if-they-lose/'>VGC</a> provided notes of what was said during the podcast.</p> <p>Harada touched upon why fighting games tend to be less popular than other video game genres, such as first-person shooters. It essentially stems from how fighting games typically only pits a single player against another rather than creating a team dynamic.</p>
