If you liked the video and are looking forward to more fantastic arcade games, here's *18 Licensed Arcade Games Based on 80s and 90s Movie Blockbusters* 👉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oIk6VnBg8h0.html
Do you remember which 90's arcade had a female fighter whose move was called/named BUTT BOOST!! I never forgot that as a kid. i would just BUTT BOOST my way to a 'healthy mind and body.' (
There are so many little gems in the SNK fighting games, outside of their most well known ones (King of Fighters, Art of Fighting, Samurai Shodown or Fatal Fury).
yes...but i feel none of them are really that good except kizuna encounter....there was another one called double dragon....and it was a reallslid fighting game...
Martial Masters has some incredible-looking animation! That is some smooooooth spritework. Most of these games I've at least passingly heard of, but a few of them are so obscure that even Saltybet's lacking them in their roster.
@@captainkg5910 Considering all the hub bub between Microsoft and Sony around the Activision purchase, it's hilarious that Sony exclusives are still biting us in the tail.
The Last Blade 1 & 2 are *criminally* underrated!! These are probably the most beautiful games ever produced by SNK! The attention to detail was everywhere: in the incredibly detailed character sprites to the never-static backgrounds to the fantastic cinematic intros... SNK squeezed every pixel that they could out of their at-the-time rapidly losing steam custom MVS/AES hardware to produce those masterpieces. Last Blade was capable of gorgeous graphics that were thought impossible outside of Capcom's CPS3 hardware that came much later and it was a worthy sucessor to Samurai Shodown indeed. Too bad that by the time that they came out, SNK was already struggling financially and thus couldn't give the franchise the push it needed...
yes...but they were overshadowed by the samurai shodown series....and i have to admit samurai shodown does everything that last blade did a little bit better....but last blade did introduce a more combo heavy version of samurai shodown....
Yeah it also had a knock of Jet li and also Martial Masters. Last Blade was released too bad towards the end of arcade era when PlayStation, Sega Saturn and Nintendo 64 came out and started to catch up with near arcade perfect games.
In the 90s there were several arcades in my city but none of them carried any of these obscure games except for Last Blade 1 & 2. It’s a shame though a lot of people never got to play these fighting gems growing up.
This is why I love digging around for new games to learn about. You never know what kinds of hidden gems you're gonna find. Special mention to Martial Masters for their character sprites' fluid animations.
Good memories of being a gamer at the arcades in the 90s, the noise, the shadows and the lights, the smells and all the overstimulation of all those flashy lights and sounds…
A collection of slept on fighting games. A shame that none of them (except Cyberbots & Red Earth) were made for home consoles. Waku Waku 7 & Galaxy Fight were only released for the Japanese SEGA Saturn.
Sadly enough, only a certain number of these games have hit digital storefronts. As a kid and to this day I've always wanted to try every fighting game, good or bad because they all deserved to be played regardless of being called clones.
My personal speculation regarding the seemingly random 3D characters in Touki Denshou is that they're rejected character models from the original Dead Or Alive. (Both made by Tecmo, and were released in the same year so thus had to have been in development simultaneously)
@@BitsBeats ok because I got a 3d pandora box its got all neo geo..nes...snes...sega...has about 4500 games i can't go thru em all so having you do videos on great games and not so great..is awesome and just playing arcade games 🕹 your the 1 im looking for...for great games thanks again keep up the great work 👍 👏 💪
Thank you for taking the time to share. Good to see a lot of intriguing games I am not familiar with while also seeing games that I enjoy like Red Earth.
It's crazy how the huge majority of these games were made in a span of just 1-3 years, almost all of them trying to capitalize off the Street Fighter 2/Mortal Kombat craze or the 90s.
Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat really created a tidal wave of fighting video games. Many have been forgotten, but there are excellent games within the genre.
The arcade parlour that i use to play only have street fighter 2, fatal fury(kof), samurai shodown in total of 10 fighting game machine, and they only change and replace fatal fury 2 into KoF'94-95 and i stuck and love this game up until now, KoF is much more poppular than street fighter in my country before 3D fighting game came out.. i wish arcade parlour that i use to play introduce more fighting game, but anyway i still can play this unknown fighting game on emulator.. Thx 4 sharing these list of gems..😁👍
@@BitsBeats thank you for providing us a good retro Arcade content, you are #1 content creator who can bring me nostalgia and relieving my wild childhood memory also providing us with a game that i never heard before back in my day.. i realy appreciate it😄 Thank you for your hard work sir.. i love it😍
I simply love your work! You have a great sense of style! Waku Waku 7 has a special place in my heart. Just like Metal Slug, Super Side Kicks and Sega Rally. Great memories!
Bakumatsu Roman Gekka no Kenshi, Jojo, Red Earth and Cyberbots are my fave arcade games of all time, did manage to win and cleared the game. But to Kaiser Knuckle and other arcade games which notoriously when comes to highest difficulty ever, that is biggest regret ever of trauma PTSD signs.
What? No Breakers Revenge? While not as good in terms or graphics compared to some of these games - by design I think; it actually tried VERY HARD to emulate SF2 graphics and play style - it was very fun, easy to pick up and play and had all the typical fighting games archetypes covered.
One thing I learned very early on, was that mainstream games were extremely overrated. Now I'm not saying I wasn't impressed by and didn't enjoy the Street Fighter 2 series when it first dropped, because I absolutely did. However, when you look at alot of these titles, it really does make you realise just how basic a 2D fighter Street Fighter 2 really was, and yet, it was the most popular. Much to be said about "accessibility" and "promotion".
Ikr. Honestly street fighter 2 is not that good and the cpu is a cheater. Surprised Sf 1 gets all the hate for the CPU being a cheater yet Street Fighter 2 gets off the hook . Just goes to show how overrated street fighter 2 is and how biased people and critics are.
Great list, I'd been collecting fighting games along times before I knew many of these existed. Still haven't been able to get Martial Masters, Groove on Fight or Rabbit running. Some others to add could be Alien Challenge, Superior Soldiers, Asura Buster and the arcade DBZ.
Galaxy Fight from '95 is Sunsoft's first original fighting game indeed, but I just want to mention they made a fighting game before - the SNES port of World Heroes was from '93!
Some of these games actually get played a lot these days on fightcade. might even see some pop up from time to time on the arcade channels that are on youtube that do live streams all the time.
I came in expecting to own maybe all but two of the games that would be on the list but I was pleasantly surprised that I only owned just over half the games listed.
Well, the reason they were overlooked is because you needed a NEO-GEO or a moded system just to play the damn things. You could only play these in Japan. Hell, Last Blade was even available until a few years ago when was released as a part of a SNK collection.
The first time i played The Last Blade was on the Neo Geo X gold. Now i never heard of the game before i got to own that thing. And although i see its not the best way to enjoy Neo Geo. I stil like it for that game. I don't think i would have played it without this handheld. I realy love that game. I like it more then Samurai showdown.
Nice putting Cyberbots in there. Galaxy Fight is a good one too. Also, James Rolf. Hehehe. 6:08, 'sigh' Arina-chan~ 7:15, before Dead or Alive, there was this. And it was reported that Reika in this game was somebody else in Dead or Alive but that was never confirmed. 10:05, with the release of Capcom Fighting Collection on all major consoles now, it will be a matter of time... 12:00, a game that rivals Street Fighter 3's grooviness. JJBA the arcade game was known to make a LOT of memes before the anime was even a thing. Martial Master's title screen is just boss.
Ese Kizuna enconter era chivisimo, también el ninja Master... Recuerdo que cuando tenía el emulador de Neo geoby MAME si le si carreta q varios juegos de pelea. Ese de los robots solo recordé una frase de otro youtuber la poción roja xDDDD el le dice juego de roboses xDDDD Last blade es increíble, así debió ser Samurai Shadow... Aunque no le quejo de este, Samurai Shadow es mi tercer juego de lucha favorito, superdo solo por Killer instinct y Street fighter jejejejejejejeje... xDDDD No sé si soy yo pero, no te parece irónico que muchos juegos de peleas con gráficos pixeles de infarto y mecánicas novedosas, son los que más quedaron en la infravaloración y en el olvido 🤔🤔🤔🤔 a veces el mundo gamer también puede ser muy injusto.
Yo creo que hay varios títulos injustamente olvidados en este vídeo, incluso de la misma Capcom o SNK! Si no los has probado, dale una oportunidad a Martial Masters y Asura Blade. Son dos joyitas a la altura de los mejores juegos de lucha de la década... y realmente poco conocidos.
SNK made a lot of hidden gem fighting games, since the announcement of a new Fatal Fury/Garou game I hope someday they bring back their other fighting game in the future
Hot damn, I thought I was familiar with all the fighters but I really never heard of more than half of the games on this list. Really worth checking'em out since none of them seems like a poverty fighters.
There's a fighting game I played in the 90's with a main character that has red pants and no shirt. I wonder if I will ever find what that game was called lol.
Although this is a great video, I feel the need to point out that in Warzard/ Red Earth, much of the characters in the game are bosses, even if the 1-on-1 aspect very much exists.
I love the Content, but I hate the artificial scanlines you’ve been adding lately go back to a clean image. It’s so much easier on the eyes. Keep up these great themed compilations 👍🏻
Thank you very much! Actually, I prefer the image without filters and scanlines imitating a CRT, but many people asked me for it. In the end I have chosen to put the title screen of the video games in CRT, as a presentation, and the rest of the gameplay (the core content) with the clean image, as usual. It's just an addition to what was previously there... and I hope everyone is happy!
I never seen any of these games in any arcade growing up in the 90’s and I know partly that was due to NC not having a big arcade scene at least not in my area but how many of these arcade games actually got an American release? I’d love to play them now though cause they seem awesome, hate I never knew about them.
All these games suffer from the same problem, little to no advertising of their existence. If they made them known,some of these games would be almost as popular. Especially if they're made aware that these games are made by the same gaming companies that made SF and MK
