I like how this game is like a Fist of the North Star Apocalypse, but it's also so bright and cheerful. It's like the apocalypse is just something that happened and no one cares.
Overall, this has to be one of the absolute best arcade beat em' ups. I do think Sledge has got to be one of the best bosses in it. He's like a hybrid between Batman and a Ninja Turtle, and it works just so amazingly well.
This beat-em-up game has a totally different vibe compared to the others I've played. Final Fight, Streets of Rage, Captain Commando, ect. all had a tough, gritty, and overall darker feel to them, while this game seems more lighthearted.
this game also reminds me of the Vendetta fighting game which was made by the same company (Konami). there's another street basketball video game from Konami that I have played a lot in the 90s so funny and with cool sounds. way ahead of its time. And it never happened to get a console port unfortunately. it was made even before Street Hoop from SNK-DATA EAST.
Crazy awesome game. Put in a dash of a few other beat em ups, and you got this crazy severely 80's-ish Final Fight game. Very fun gameplay and some wonderful, bright colors. I would love to own this game. Great playthrough!
@Metal04-OFFICIAL A lot of "modern" video games (keeping in mind that arcades in America are almost gone unless you count Dave & Buster's, so "modern" means "1995-2005") are programmed so that if you enter your initials as ASS, SEX, FUK, or a couple other combinations, it randomly replaces them with the initials of one of the game designers, or just "AAA". It's not a "censorship device", it's just the way the games are programmed.
One of the best BUPS in history with interesting post apocalyptic rocker background. Also propably one of the hardest. The grand finale of fantastic Crime Fighters trilogy.
I didn't know it was part of the crime fighters trilogy. In the arcades I saw crime fighters, and crime fighters 2/vendetta but I never saw the third game.
This game is hilarious! The graphics are pretty nice and the music is crazy fun. I also love the "Wade!" ~hair comb~ thing haha This is great thanks for sharing.
I remember a little corner store in my hometown in Poland had this arcade game there for a few months. One day I took 20$ worth of coins and finally beat it with a buddy. LoL good times!
I love how similar this game is to final fight. it's so cool seeing how wade's attack moves make him a cool rip off of Guy. I also notice that the music during the battle against Drigger is similar to Shredder's theme from Turtles In Time. mainly because this game was made by none other than the exact same company, KONAMI.
I love Final Fight (Played it to death in the arcades back in time and in emulation), I love Streets of Rage, great game as well, other similar and popular Beat em ups like Cadillac and Dinosaurs, Punisher, Alien vs Predator, TMNT and the list goes on are awesome. But seriously guys, at least to me, Violent Storm (which I discovered its existence only a few years ago) I think that is the king of them all! Mainly because it takes all the good points of all the other beat-em ups and rises them up in heavens!
Awesome fucking game... That I only discovered due to emulation. I don't care what anyone says, if it wasn't for emulation, some of the most incredible games ever made would remain hidden from the public.
And I just wish I could find an arcade somewhere. ;) Unfortunately, in America, most "true" arcades struggle to keep the doors open. They're just not profitable the way they used to be, unless you have at least a few "redemption" games (the ones that give you tickets that you can trade for mostly worthless prizes), or have something to offer other than just arcade games (like Dave & Busters, which is also a bar and a restaurant... and that's where most of their profits come from, not the arcade games.)
The reason why the pigs are turning into footballs, I guess because Konami had problems with PETA. In the ROM you can actually find the graphics of pigs being picked up.
Sledge is one of those Ninja Turtles you get at kids' birthday parties. He calls himself "Samurai Teen" in the ads to prevent issues with Nickelodeon (or Mirage Studios at the time of the game's release).
I feel emulation has a place when it's used for games that are either no longer in print or incredibly rare. It's sad that companies try to stop people from playing a game they no longer market, and make profit from.
Saw this game in top beat'em up's video. Could not believe I never heard of it until recently. It has Saturday Morning Cartoon written all over it and I'm surprised it didn't get one lol.
I hope the Wiiware Virtual Console gets this game. Virtual Console Arcade might get more hits with this. But they'd also get more hits with Ninja Baseball Batman too.
EPIC LYRICS: I'm gonna get you eventually, everybody wanna knock Geldo down I'll go straight to Sheena (Sheena) and I'll be there, yes I will This world is very difficult, but I've got nothing to lose now There's no defeat, you'd sooner die Challenge the beginning of the end Until I rescue Sheena, I'm never gonna stop (flee my power) Now I spend my time fighting all around I'm a tough guy (do it, man) You think you can beat us, We got the look, oh so fine Just wait, I'll get even with you! TAKE IT ALL!
I used to play this game at an arcade in Quetta, Pakistan many many years ago. Back then I didn't realized how awesome the bg music is. I was only interested in the gameplay.
kapone815 Of course you can! I got the Logitech Rumblepad 2 and it feels comparable to a PS3 controller. I connect my laptop to my HD big screen TV via HDMI and play arcade games, NES, Sega Master System, Genesis, Super NES, N64. Literally thousands. All free!
agentblammo I love my arcades so much I'd buy the original arcade PCB. I think I could also use it legally to make money if I wanted to pop it in a cabinet. :D
I definitely appreciate watching a good beat-em-up, but the gameplay just seemed a bit lackluster. I still watched it all. Cool to see all the characters on the other hand.
@GLB from [JustGian] I think the game you're talking about is Wild West C.O.W.boys of Moo Mesa, based on a Saturday morning cartoon of the same name. (In this case. C.O.W. is a play on words... not only are most of the characters cows or bulls, but C.O.W. stands for Code Of the West.)
