a neat little mega man boss rush. fun stuff. protoman feels so good
more of the same as the first one, but nothing really to complain about there. still fun, and the added 4th character is fun too
finally got around to beating the arcade mode. i now understand the hype
yeahhhhh this game is real good. i love fighting games.
1999
another Cave Classic
really good wrestling game. the story mode has maybe a bit too much padding, but i still never got tired of the fighting mechanics. good story mode too. glad i finally played one of the def jam games.
beat the arcade and story mode. the animation is truly top notch. beautiful game with great characters and controls. i would love to get better at it. i love this series
i obviously understand why people typically have a negative opinion on this game (especially at the time it released), but idk i think it's actually a pretty fun time. missing a lot of my favorite KOF characters, but gimme terry and i'll have a ball with this one.
takes everything to enjoy about the first game and improves on it. i love this one, flaws and all.
2003
get's a bit too hard near the end for my liking, but a super fun time all around. great animations, great guns, great music.
2005
playing this again and i think i like it even better now. the combo system is so easy to use, the game's style oozes character, and the game mechanics are simple to understand (with a little bit of reading). one of my new favorites.
2012
while it doesn’t do a whole lot new for the genre, i still had a blast beating this with my friend. playing it solo is more than likely impossible for the average person, but if you’ve got a friend and nothing to do for the night, it’s probably worth your time
1993
criminally underrated beat em up. this should be held up next to all the highest praised games in the genre. it's got a completely manageable level of difficulty, exciting music, and a simple and intuitive fighting system that works universally on all enemies. if you're looking for an arcade beat em up that isn't capcom, play this one.
1996
beat the story mode with mai ling. super interesting game. im still a bit confused on how to get your character's level up higher, but i had fun nonetheless. can definitely see myself playing through this with the other three characters.
these pocket color fighting games tend to be pretty similar gameplay wise, so i'll definitely be comparing them when reviewing (though they're all worth playing in their own right). with that said, i did miss the inclusion of the story mode that SNK VS Capcom had, but there's just something so cool about the fatal fury franchise that i think i may have enjoyed this one just a bit more. fatal fury games have so much style and flair to them (especially with Real Bout and onwards) that i just don't think many other fighting games could top for me. fucked up that they don't have duck king in here though
