The polygonal fighter will take a second seat to Midway's massive campaign for Mortal Kombat 4 (also a planned N64 game), which will have at least four to six months in the arcade without any competition from Midway or Atari Games.
The game incorporates different elements into the fighting genre, something that's nice to know, seeing as how this particular genre is so difficult to penetrate with new ideas. The 3D fighter allows side-stepping and works with six buttons, one of which is a button to fly or hover.
"We're trying to do something totally different with this," said the source from Midway's San Diego, CA.-based offices.
Players can hover across the screen in any direction and possibly even fight in air. Will it work? If anything, this approach is at least fresh (although in recent memory, at least one character from Capcom's Star Gladiator could hover in mid-air).
Midway could not confirm which would come out first on Nintendo 64, Mortal Kombat 4 or Bio Freaks, but if the company stays consistent and leads with MK4, like it's doing in the arcades, then Bio Freaks most likely arrive after MK4.
