Phin Fighters: The Battle of Destiny

Phin Fighters: The Battle of Destiny (ピニン・ファイターズ：運命の戦い, Pinin faitāzu: Unmei no tatakai) is a 2008 head-to-head fighting game released by Disney & SNK for the Atomiswave arcade and home platforms. Phin Fighters was Phineas and Ferb & Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil's first fighting game for the Atomiswave system (released a few months after the arcade release of The Clash of Fighters I) and served as the inaugural game in their Phineas and Ferb series, as well as the first game to depict the fictional "King of Fighters" tournament (which became the basis for the later The CLASH of Fighters games). Many of Disney & SNK's mainstay characters, including the Phineas Flynn, Ferb Fletcher and Kick Buttowski, and their arch-nemesis Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, made their debut in this game.

Story
Phineas and Ferb met their new friends Kick Buttowski and Gunther Magnuson, they discover how to transform Dnville and Mellowbrook into a giant arts tournament known as the 15th Annual King of Fighters tournament, held in the fictional American city of Southtown & Tr-State Area. sponsored by The Mayor of Danville Roger Doofenshmirtz. Ten years prior to the events of the game, however Perry and Dr. Doofenshmirtz are affected as well, and Doofenshmirtz wants to use his new powers to rule the Tri-State Area.

Gameplay
The gameplay follows the typical formula of most fighting games: the player competes against his opponent in best two-out-of-three matches. The play controls consists of an eight directional lever and three attack buttons: punch, kick and throw. As in Fatal Fury each of the playable character has special techniques that are performed by inputting specific commands and combinations with the joystick and buttons. The input methods for special moves are shown to the player during the course of the game (after every bonus round), as opposed to being given in an instruction card in the game's cabinet. The most novel aspect of Phin Fighters was the inclusion of a two-lane fighting system. The player can jump from one lane to another to avoid projectile attack or knock their opponent to the other plane.

When a second player joins during the middle of a fight, instead of postponing the current battle for a match between the two players, the game will make both players team-up against the current CPU opponent in a two-on-one match before their battle takes place. After every second match in the single player tournament, the player will participate in a bonus round mini-game involving an arm wrestling match against a machine. The player must tap the A button rapidly to win these mini-games.
