Shaquille O'Neal's new video game will allow you to fight Kanye West as Barack Obama

Shaquille O’Neal is coming out with a new video game. Older gamers will remember the original Shaq Fu, a fighting game released on the Sega Genesis back in 1994. We’re getting a sequel to that called Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn.

The game allows you to fight as Shaq, of course. But he’s not the only big name you can play as.

Via Screenrant.com:

Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn releases next week on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, but more interesting than Shaquille O’Neal’s return to virtual martial arts might be the game’s first DLC pack. Called BarackFu, the additional story appears to star none other than former United States President Barack Obama. Well, for legal reasons it will officially involve “Dirty Barry,” but the references make it quite clear who it is based upon…

While the DLC has not been officially announced, the trophies for BarackFu give us some additional details about what to expect (via PSN Profiles). Players can become the “Commando-in-Chief” by defeating 300 enemies, and can use an attack called the “Barack n’ Rolla.” Dirty Barry’s fight will also lead to a confrontation with a Kanye West-inspired character called Con-Ye, and players will get a trophy called “The Death of Pablo”

Shaq is giving gamers have they’ve always wanted: A chance to pit a former president up against a famous rapper. 2018 is weird.
