I know that the genre died sadly but with games like MK:SM and the new Final Fight and Urban Reign maybe the genre will be back to live if those games make so that people start making more games in the genre.Femto wrote:You're talking about beat'em ups?Libaax wrote:I dont care about the actuall story but to fight in open stage like in the new MK is more fun than the normal fighting games.
The genre died a long time ago. There are a few games that are trying to keep it alive, but they all suck.
EDIT: Beat me to it.
EDIT2: Try not to post in this thread anymore. It has become something of a mess and I think it's better if we have a different topic for every title. Don't think twice about starting a new thread about a game you want to talk about (not just fighters either), in fact, I encourage you to do so.

I have been trying to do some research here and there on the Hyper 64. Is Buriki ONE the only good game on the machine?? I here it is fantastic and you are obviously a big fan of it. Is there any thing at all that is worth any time other than Buriki ONE?DarkenRahlX wrote:I'm not going to make a new topic about this game, because no one will post in it, so I'll say what I have to say here.
Buriki ONE should be remade or should have a sequal.

It's become apparent now that letting this thread die was a bad idea on my part. There's a lot of small stuff in the genre that probably don't deseve their own threads and that was part of the reason why this thread was here. That was also something I failed to acknowledge.
With that out of the way, I'm giving this another bump. Post whatever you want about fighting games, but if you think there's a game that's popular enough to deserve its own thread, then go ahead and make one for it so that it doesn't drown out other potentially smaller discussions here.
PS: Darken is insane for not liking Samurai Shodown.

I was talking about the Hyper Neogeo 64 Samurai Shodown games.

Wanted to take the time to say that the port of NGBC was disappointing... It almost feels as if Microsoft paid off SNKP to make a bad port of the game so that the 360's version would seem better to the Japanese public...thus, they have to purchase a the system for the better copy.
Seriously for a game such as NGBC you should have to wait 13-17 seconds for 1 match to load. that's almost 3 times the amount of load time found in the arcade version.
I still like the game, it's just that there are so many things that could have been better with the game. Seriously, when you have 5 people on a rotation, that 13-17 second load time makes things slow paced.

I heard about the load times.
They're just unacceptable, especially when Capcom can get 3rd Strike running with zero load times whatsoever.
As far as the whole MS thing is concerned, I really doubt that had anything to do with it. Last I heard, KOF and SNK games in general were doing well in the arcade market, but they're not going to move consoles.
Inferior port.
That's all there is to it.
