The History of Streets of Rage - arcade console documentary 

Oh absolutely

For me it was decep attack. Kid camelion and road rash 2

Hard to believe it's been 30 years. Gaming was incredible back then.

Spiderman vs Kingpin - went back and completed it 20 years later. Quality game

I was right there with you, brother. So many people forgot or never knew about that Spider Man game, which was a shame considering how unique it was for the time.

I couldn't agree more

Never thought he send you back To the factory level. Mr X is a troll.😂

Bare Knuckle III is so underrated. It's better than SoR2 in every way (yes even music, fight me) but its reputation was ruined by the abominable localization, such a shame.

It was awesome, thanks buddy

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries , if you're going to cover this franchise, then, even though it's an unofficial game, you should check out Streets of Rage Remake, which was the main fan game that got the fire lit under Sega's a s s to make Streets of Rage 4/Bare Knuckle IV, with the help of Streets of Rage X, Streets of Rage 2X, and Streets of Rage XXX, all of which are ironically longer games than Streets of Rage 4/Bare Knuckle IV. Honestly, with all of those titles, you have essentially a more complicated version of the Metroid II: Return of Samus/AM2R/Metroid: Samus Returns fiasco, namely, instead of one okay game, and two incomplete, but pretty good, remakes/remixes, you have a pretty good official product and four equally good fan projects. Honestly, if Sega had not been such a s s h o l e s , and they had handled the project like they did with Sonic Mania, and how they actually welcomed the fan game that would eventually become the Freedom Planet franchise. I am honestly convinced that Sega has multiple personality disorder/schizophrenia, instead of outright selfishness and hypocrisy, like Nintendo. However, I am still sore about Ken Penders, Archie Comics, Fleetway Comics, Sega, and other artists all arguing over such things, and, for all of the arguing parties of that one...(I begin to play Jim Johnson's "Protection", a.k.a., the old A.P.A./last Ron Simmons theme, and the screams of people in states of t e r r o r that were arguing are heard, instead of the arguing). Yeah, they all should be glad that I didn't handle these arguments. Finally, as for the Fighting Force thing, there actually a sequel to that game, namely, it is called Fighting Force 2, but it is a way worse game, you can only play as Hawk, everyone else from the previous game died, and it is only available for the PS2 and PC, as far as I know. Also, as far as I know, it was also around the time when Sega and Core parted ways that Sega decided to just do the Die Hard Arcade/Dynamite Detective and Dynamite Cop/Dynamite Detective 2 games in response. The first game was released for arcades, as well as for the Sega Saturn, Sony PS2, and the PlayStation Network, while its spiritual sequel was released for only the arcade and for the Sega Dreamcast.

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries , Streets of Rage Remake also has a lot of quality of life improvements, among them, being able to perform combos, as well as for the characters to run, even the characters that were not in Streets of Rage 3/Bare Knuckle III, which was the only game of the old Streets of Rage/Bare Knuckle Trilogy to allow running for its characters. Moreover, there is also a much deeper combo system that is said to be one of the deepest that is in a beat-em-up/side-scrolling brawler/conveyor belt fighter game, like on par with Double Dragon Advance and A Night Where Good Things Are Bound to Happen levels of depth. Such quality of life improvements were also more or less added to Streets of Rage 4/Bare Knuckle IV as well. However, unlike Streets of Rage 4/Bare Knuckle IV, in Streets of Rage Remake, each character has their own Summon Special, as well as Ultimate Attack as well. Streets of Rage X, Streets of Rage 2X, and Streets of Rage XXX all do not have such things.

I just finally got to play 4 this past month because it’s a free monthly game for PS Plus. I’ve had so much fun with it. Teaming up with a rando and running through the levels is amazing. The combos, graphics, and music is 👌🏼. I love that you can unlock the 16 bit characters and discover some of the 16 bit levels by the arcade machines.

Glad you enjoy it!Thanks

Streets of Rage was a good reason for SNES owners to also buy a Mega Drive

@@Nokia3310do most def, 2 other games I enjoyed playing on the Genesis were Road Rash and Home Alone among countless others

@@lastone87 Sonic 2, Road Rash and NHL were my other favourites at the time. But you're right, there's a long list of great games that you couldn't play on SNES

I couldn't agree more, thank you

At this point, I would be happy to find anyone to play. I had to record all the video in single player mode

Yes! Thank you!

Thanks for the nice comments, love that shirt. I have a few other Adam West shirts as well. Thanks

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries That’s awesome, brutha! Can't have enough Adam West shirts, sir.

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries , LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, has a DLC level, a Character Pack, AND a Vehicle Pack, that are dedicated to that show. Also, it was the last voice credit to Adam West before he passed on, as far as I know.

@@paxhumana2015 No, he voice a couple of cartoons for DCAfter that. If you are fan of the 60 show should check those out. By the way, that Lego Batman three level is by far my favorite. I was giggling like a schoolgirl the entire time I played it. It's unfortunate that Burt Ward didn't come back to provide the voice for Robin

It really was fantastic and it's crazy we never received a home conversion

Yes, the last one was fantastic

Thanks a ton, yes I've always enjoyed it as well

Thanks a bunch!

LOL thanks buddy, have fun

Awesome, I hope you enjoy it

It's a lot of fun

Thanks my friend

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries you're welcome And, I've been known to occasionally go all *BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!!* myself

Thank you so much. I'm sure at some point I will cover the second game. Glad you enjoy all of my videos

Glad you like them!

Thanks, will do!

Thanks, the music is an important part of the series so I wanted to showcase it

LOL thanks buddy

So do I :-)

Glad you enjoyed it!

I appreciate that!Thanks so much

Thank you! Cheers!

Glad you like them!

Thanks

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries 👍

You and me both!Thanks

Thanks buddy :-)

I'm not 100% but I'm getting there, thanks for the nice words

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries keep giving it hell bro! 💪💪💪

Excellent, glad you enjoyed it

Possibly, although I haven't even covered streetfighter 2 yet

LOL, the pronunciation of that word will always be stuck with me. I still say to my son "you stupid men" and he knows exactly what I'm talking about

That's fantastic (four). I've had the iconic "NOOO!" as a text ringtone for years. It always gets a reaction out of others - sometimes they find it funny, sometimes annoying, but rarely do they know what it is. My wife and kid do know it and think it's funny, at least.

Hope you enjoy it my friend

I figured it would need some well-deserved attention but wanted to test the waters to see if anyone else thought so as well.

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries It most definitely does deserve it's own review. I would put this on par with TMNT Turtles in Time as the 1a and 1b in retro beat em ups. If it wasn't for SoR 4 and Shredder's Revenge I would say they are the GOAT beat em ups!

Yes indeed, please cover SOR2! Would love an in-depth deep dive by you, PatmanQC.

Yes it does, I heard it quite a bit over the past nine days while making the video

It is fantastic

Thanks have already covered It so check the archives

@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries awesome on my way to find it now keep up the work your docs are the best 💪

Thanks a lot :-)

Thanks buddy

Very cool, I'm sure it sold a lot of units

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries yup the fighting pack was where it's at

8:20 i wish this move was continued in the later games. The move from SOR 2 and 3 is just not as satisfying

Thanks. I will cover the second game in the future

Thanks for the nice words

Yes it was :-) thank you

He is the goat that's for sure

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries him and Kevin Calaburull the play by play announcer for the Seattle SuperSonics and Portland trailblazers

LOL comment of the day

It's a classic

Perhaps I should have clarified it as a side scroller. Good call though

You definitely should

LOL, I used to work in a computer store and a guy came in bragging about how he would get the "WARE-EZ" versions of games and never have to pay a dime

LOL

Streets of Fire was influential to Final Fight. There is no „direct“ connection to Streets of Rage

@@cybercop0083 False

@@hansjuker8296 😘

I was hoping someone will catch that :-) thanks

Excellent, if you like those you should definitely check out the fourth one

Still available??

You are very kind, thank you

Yes can't wait for it to become official

I couldn't agree more, thank you

Absolutely :-)

Good info

I mentioned the remake, there is no way I can mention all the other hacks

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries Eh, like I mentioned, just a passing comment.
