If you can, avoid the Sega version and go straight for the arcade version

Nick Fury: Frank we shouldn't kill anyone! Keep the body count low!
Nick Fury five minutes later: Shoots an entire warehouse full of grunts, slices random women to death with glorious Nippon steel folded in half 1000 times, collapses a hotel with hundreds of guests to kill one criminal

The Punisher is another Genesis exclusive arcade port of one of the greatest beat 'em up of the 90s. While the game suffers in comparison to its enemy-denser arcade counterpart, the game remained hard to beat with a 2-player option still intact to help your odds. Unlike most beat 'em up on the Genesis lasting about thirty to forty minutes, The Punisher took us one hour fifty to beat, there is no save system so definitely save yourself an free evening for this one. The game doesn't get repetitive either, with its many weapon pickups including a satisfying handgun, as well as the variety of enemies and bosses. The game features all the enemies and content from the original arcade games, with up to six enemies appearing on-screen at once. The Punisher would certainly make Super Nintendo fans salivate with their broken Final Fight ports.

Lo recordaba mejor que el cómic. Pero ahora el cómic me parece mejor.

The Punisher (1993) would be a better game if The Punisher (1993) beat up cops.


The Punisher (1993)
Plataforma: Arcade
Desenvolvedora: Capcom

Um excelente Beat And UP !!

Uma histórinha competente, a jogabilidade bem funcional, é mais diversificada que alguns Beat And Up, tem muita interação com o cenário, podemos pegar quase todos os objetos e utilizarmos como arma, além de ter muita destruição de cenário, sua dificuldade é bem equilibrada, coisa rara em alguns games de arcade, os chefes não são batalhas tão legais, não entendi nada do Move-Set deles, os gráficos do game são bem bonitos, uma pixel art bem competente, um dos jogos mais quadrinescos visualmente que já vi.

The Punisher é um briga de rua divertido e muito bem feito, com um excelente visual.

Nota: 9/10

The Genesis version is inferior to the arcade game, but still a good game at the core

Acabei de termina, e é um beut-up mais divertido que já joguei. Esse jogo cheira a testostera até na tela de menu.

Mueran, maldiitos... maldiitossss... Puuunkssss
Juegazo

The Punisher (1993): Con el género más que explotado, vino sin apenas ofrecer nada nuevo más allá de unas armas que funcionan regular. Cierto que esta versión es particularmente mala, pero no creo que el resto fuese muchísimo mejores. Cumplidor y poco más (5,45)

Beat 'n up maneiro do justiceiro, é bem curtinho e divertido. Zerei no portátil chinês kkkk.

O melhor: Muitos elementos destrutíveis no cenário e diferentes armas para usar
O pior: "Pretty Boy", o inimigo mais chato do jogo
Bonebreaker?!: O meio homem/meio tanque de guerra aparece aqui como um boss. A Capcom tinha uma seleção muito curiosa de quais personagens da Marvel utilizar, vide Shuma Gorath e Blackheart nos jogos de luta

Um dos bons beat'em up clássicos da Capcom. Os visuais são ótimos, com cenários são cheios de detalhes, onomatopéias de porradas estilo quadrinhos, e muita coisa para destruir em cada fase. Obviamente ele tem os picos de dificuldade comum de jogos de Arcade pra obter o maior número de fichas possível, mas não precisei abusar muito das vantagens da emulação para terminar.

One of my childhood favourites. It might not be as popular as Cadillacs and Dinosaurs or Captain Commando. But it was almost as good as those games.

This game was the first arcade game I played in my life. And I always played with Nick Fury. Very good. With a couple of hours you can master it and finish in one run.

Joguinho de luta padrão, bom pra passar o tempo

Pretty short, nice graphics, ok sounds, a responsive gameplay, although not have so much variety on the combos and enemis, still a fun game to spend time

This is pretty solid. Probably a whole lot of nothing compared to the arcade original, but it strikes me as a scenario similar to Final Fight's SNES port: not the optimal way to play, but totally fine as well. Only problem here is I think sometimes it's a little ugly, especially in comparison to the arcade version. Maybe I'll give that a go soon, because this was a fun ass time.

Also gets a small bonus for having an actually competent Kingpin final boss battle that was previously failed to be delivered in Spider-Man vs the Kingpin. Fuck that game.

"Dammit Castle, I told ya not to kill too many people!"
"AWW C'MON NICK! You really think I filled this fire extinguisher with more fire on purpose?!?!"

Arcade: 7.5/10
Genesis: 6.5/10

Capcom develop your console ports in-house challenge (difficulty level: impossible)

As far as Beat-Em Ups go, I don't think you could go wrong with The Punisher

The spritework is amazing, and out of all the marvel properties to adapt into a beat em up, The Punisher works incredibly well. The gun sections are also a nice change of pace, and are just different enough from the usual punching gameplay to spice up the gameplay every now and then.

Shit's actually really fun like on god bro

Eu só faço aquilo que você não consegue. Você bate e eles levantam, eu bato e eles ficam no chão. Eu garanto que eles não retornem e tenho muito orgulho disso.

Love to crack a noggin with a ballpeen hammer and then all my friends come in with tommy guns and we shoot at each other's feet.

Awesome beat 'em up! Technically the first Marvel vs. Capcom game, sorta. And Nick Fury joins in on the action too! Even if I didn't really play as him. Great Punisher game


Much like the IP it's based on, compels you to revel in the sinister glee and catharsis of wanton violence, whether it's through its brutal off-the-street weapon pick-ups or unexpected machinegun-spray sections. Stylish sprites! They should've put him in MvC.

Not Capcoms best beat em up but still enjoyable

Fácil demais para um jogo de Arcade. Mas dá pro gasto.

Neat little beat em up, nothing special but still very enjoyable.
