Shaquille O’Neal hopes to reclaim his gaming legacy with Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn

Gamers must have collectively done something pretty terrible because fate is about to punish them with another Shaq game.

Former National Basketball Association superstar Shaquille O’Neal is teaming up with indie studio Big Deez Productions to make Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn, a brawler title that has the four-time NBA champ beating up his enemies using his fictional martial-arts style. It is also a sequel to the 1994 Genesis and Super Nintendo fighter, Shaq Fu, which is notoriously awful. Big Deez, which has veteran developers who worked on the Halo and Street Fighter franchises, is now looking for crowdfunding. The developer is asking gamers to raise $450,000 through the community-contribution platform Indiegogo. In addition to the crowdfunding, O’Neal and Big Deez will also invest their own money in the project.
