www.longplays.org Played by: SCHLAUCHI Furry beat em up by Konami. I let myself get killed after having beaten it! - Disclaimer: Most videos by World of Longplays use SaveStates!
THIS IS IT! I played this once in an Aladdin's Castle over 20 years ago, but never forgot it, and I've been looking for this damn thing since forever! I finally found you, my elusive memory!
Such a classic. I feel like a kid again. Waking up to my favorite Saturday morning cartoon show with a large bowl a cereal and a half eaten pop tart, just because.
Hot damn! What a hidden gem. The animations are so good and smooth, and the combat is so blunt and lacking in the fancy department (Repeteadly kicking enemies on the ground, punching them on the belly) that it reaches out as hilarious. Also, mandatory *Altered Beast Sequel joke here.*
Yes! Very much like it. Although I would say more of a combination of 'Final Fight' or 'Streets of rage' (rather than 'Golden Axe') with 'Altered Beast'.
I think part of the problem is today's technology. Back then, when the technology was limited, video game companies would work harder on their games to make up for the fact that the technology wasn't there to do what they really wanted to do with their games. Now that we have it, I guess developers' attitudes to making video games now is "Whatever."
To think how many awesome arcade beat em ups there are that I've never been aware of years ago that I'm only now becoming of aware of. and this is one of them.
The comic book store I used to go to used to have this in their little mini arcade section. I used to play this a lot with my friends. Brings back a lot of memories just watching this video. It was an awesome store, and wish it had never closed down. Also, this is the Konami I choose to remember.
Konami died to me when they changed their classic logo with the red and orange ribbons that formed a plus sign to that more generic red-and-white and white-and-red logo.
This game should be recognised as one of the best beat em up classics. It offers something fun and different. The characters are cool, the music is tense and fitting, the boss battles are fun. The levels themselves can be a bit repetitive though. You can see this game was designed to absorb tons of coins at the arcades. A game to play with your mates as you argue over who gets to be the panther. Vendetta, Streets of Rage, Final Fight and Captain Commando probably rate above this one. Not many more.
Finally after so many years I figured out which game i played in an Hungarian arcade (in Kunfehértó). I was around 12 years old at that time 🙂. This is totally awesome! Thanks for uploading!
I would have loved this game back in the day. Strange thing I noticed, konami recycled a bunch of attack animations from from it's Xmen beat em up. Probably the same engine and hardware to boot.
I played this game for the first time yesterday night at the arcade. Wow, I was incredibly impressed. Reminded me of the 2 screen X-Men game and Altered Beast. It's loud there so I didn't hear any of the awesome soundtrack. Seriously, how did I miss this game when I was younger? I don't think any of the arcades had it.
It's funny they are referred to as "brave youths" when they are not kids or teens or at least don't look like kids / teens. And the mess up with her face during the "awaken my brave warriors!" scene is disturbing and a bit funny at tbe ame time.
Hmm, he's playing the European version since that version lacks the boss rush on Stage 5 like the Japanese version as it seems to be an American exclusive. As tough as the boss rush was, it did have some awesome music to go with it. Also this game is awesome!
It's possible that this IP was something Konami wanted to continue in a way. A goal among others when the acquired Hudsonsoft who held the publishing rights to Bloody Roar. Did Konami swallow Hudsonsoft to perhaps continue this series with a similar IP, or simply swallow the other publisher to silence their fighting game IP, so Konami's Beat em up IP could reign un challenged? An interesting theory of possibility and conspiracy. The one thing that could be said for sure is that many refuse to buy Konami unless they see Bloody Roar see the light of day yet again.
"YOU WILL NOT COME IN THIS CIRCLE!!!!" *proceeds to come in the circle, kick that goats ass and then taunt him,* LMAO, funny and awesome both. Never saw this game but damn it looks amazing! I LOVE watching the wolfman stomp bosses out, LOL.
+geardog24 ooooh thats pretty much alot of companies or developers because I've never seen anyone do an indie side scrolling brawler or with fantasy like Metamorphic Force, Bucky O'Hare, Battletoads, Magic Sword, Golden Axe. But its gotta be difficult to make a new one and appeal to people especially modern day people at least streets of rage holds up and i can make people weep at their destroyed cars in final fight :P.
I wonder why there is nobody mentioning the connection between this game and GuitarFreaks & Drummania series(GFDM)... The composer of this game is Mutsuhiko Izumi, later he become the producer of GFDM. Stage 5 Boss Music "Demoness of the Colosseum" later become the Boss Stage "Model DD7" in GFDM, and Final Boss Music "Bird of Fire" later become the Boss Stage "Model DD6" in GFDM
Maybe is the cartoony graphics engine they used, but this game always felt like it was attached to a Saturday Morning cartoon that never existed, you can feel it in your bones, like there is this massive franchise that never came but we only got a peek from this game.
This is probably one of the most underrated arcade gems. Absolutely kick ass side scrolling at its best. Thanks to Mame wouldn't of had the pleasure. Oh the soundtrack is amazing as well.
@@edssonantoniodelgadoquenta9970 ah que super, felicidades, yo lo jigaba en las maquinitas con fichas jaja todo el dia lo jugaba los domingos pasando la final muchas veces..🇧🇴
This looks like a mod of the X-men arcade game. The enemies move/fall/attack just like the enemies from X-men, even the special attack is Nightcrawlers.
Jeez, I been searching far and wide for this game. I remember playing it a long ass time ago at a bowling alley with an old friend at his birthday party in the early/mid 90s and I couldn't remember for the life of me what it was called.
I remember when I was a kid my mother would let me go to the arcade every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with my friends to play this game for like two hours and I would would stay in the arcade two hours past my given time to be at the arcade.
Oh my gosh! I've been trying to find this game for 20+ years! I played it only once on a train station of a city far from my home. I didn't know the name of it and only recently I thought to try "arcade beat em ups" search on youtube and there it is! Oh. memories :)
+SmashTom Izumi, the person who composed the music for both the first and second TMNT games for arcades, composed the music for this game alongside another person.
The game mechanics are similar to those of Konami's earlier arcade hit, X-Men, and runs on the same hardware as their ninja-themed game, Mystic Warriors.
This is literally just a reskin of the X Men arcade cabinate. The special move of wolf boy is pretty much the exact same as Nightcrawler's. Kicking people when they're down. Bosses flashing to show health eventually glowing. A lot of the jerky one-frame hit animations.
I never heard of this game. The ice/crystal level looks fantastic! Good inspiration as I continue to pursue creating a video game version of "Diamond Dragons". 💪😎🤟 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨
