Super Famicom
One on One Beat Em Up
Finely tweaked version of the original in the first of many milkings of Capcom’s cash cow. New costumes and slightly better balance to the fighting mechanics as the SFII phenomena started to kick in. Subtitled Hyper Fighting.
PS3
One on One Beat Em Up
Keeps the 3D strictly to a pseudo effect and the gameplay is all the better for its slick, rolling combos as a result. The backdrops look stunning too – upgraded on the old school approach but still looking lavish.

Digitised characters from the Street Fighter film including Miss Kylie Minogue. Soundtrack from Chage & Aska – Japan’s very own Dire Straits!
Playstation
One on One Beat Em Up
Martial arts mayhem as Capcom’s colossus receives a bit of fine tuning to make this a well balanced, bruising encounter. Joypad dexterity and zen – like patience a must.
Playstation
One on One Beat Em Up
Set before the original Street Fighter, this features a host of faces to liven up the action: none fresher than Sakura, prouder than Rolento or wiser than old boy Gen.

Dreamcast
One on One Beat Em Up
Cheaper alternative to the Sega Direct Matching Service release only missing the online versus battle option. Update of the Saturn title with masses of fighters with some funky costumes including the cos play inspired Mika.
Playstation
Sports
Mario Kart tribute with the PlaySation’s hardware getting a good work out spinning the course around on screen. The levels are full of fun with sea and beach based sunshine level looking particularly good in Micro Machines style overhead view. Then there is also the battle mode. The use of fighting like Road Rash as player pass helps it dig its own niche.
🏆Brilliant!
Brilliant Soundtracks
Soundtrack
Three vinyl record disks in a fitting tribute to the side scrolling beat ’em up’s fabulous score. Thirty five tracks to savour – the ultimate getting ready for a night out album, hopefully without recreating the fight scenes!
Mega Drive
Platform
Excellent conversion by Sega of the fast action coin op legend without any cutbacks as with the Western versions, nor the scary box art. Flip from surface to air dicing opponents as you go. Captures the essence of the arcade perfectly.
Playstation
Shoot Em Up
Vertically scrolling tribute to the Capcom 194x series but still a refreshing change from the reoccurring outer space theme. Improved aurally and visually over the prequel, with little sign of any slowdown regardless of the relentlessness of the on going aerial assault. A competent conversion of the coin grabbing arcade.
Soundtracks
Soundtrack
Psyvariar, Cotton, and Metal Saga are amongst the stirring scores pressed on this live tribute to celebrate Success’s forty-fifth anniversary. A beautiful aural ride to tingle the spine and soar in the skies like a carpet ride (or should that be broomstick?)
Soundtracks
Soundtrack
Heroes, heroines and hamsters show off their singing prowess in this tribute to the fine developer Success’ back catalogue of soundtracks, full of toe-tapping, paw-pounding loops.
Playstation

A Bit Special
Rated Yellow Label material, this bumper collectors pack contain Suchie Pai Mahjong 1 & 2 plus Suchie Pai Throbbing Adventure making it a worthwhile purchase even if you can’t play mahjong.
Merchandise
DVD
Colourful anime and manga series which stars plenty of references to witches named after dessert flavours and the action and characterisation is no less lacking in saccharine sweet events. Released to celebrate the DS release of the game.
Super Famicom
Simulation
A space fantasy theme with very tidy anime avatars and a stirring, militaristic soundtrack.
Famicom Cart
Platform
Genki has a penchant for ninjas and has no issues with kunoichi (or female ninjas) either. So its great to lap up the quick paced action in this fine example of a femme fatale action platformer. Full of Eastern mysticism and great gameplay to boot.
PS Vita
Action
The title translates as Ink Devil and the style is like Okami meets Sega Saturn Taromaru meets Kazekiri from the PC Engine. Thats if those latter two games had been drawn using a calligraphy brush. Beautiful screens as players call on traditional mythology to help them progress. The fear of being chased by the giant in stage three as just his shadow looms large in the background with Kyotos Daiji in the background is a fabulous experience up their with the thrill of collecting all the Satellite components in Goldeneye against the clock. Truly gorgeous.
PS2
RPG
Lavishly illustrated avatars full of emotion (especially where Genki is concerned as we seem to keep upsetting the ladies with our choice of retorts) and detailed backgrounds. All very appropriate for the exquisite isometric perspective gameworld that will see players battling from rogue sailors on a galleon what looked like washed up ghosts from Pacman on a beach.
PS2
RPG
Fine, frantic RPG with colourful as the avatar representatives with plenty of special moves in the combat to surprise even the most seasoned of RPG veterans.
Dreamcast
Simulation
Mech battle sim with dramatic orchestral score and plenty of zooming in and out to the action. Player avatars and a fine sci-fi plot (well in anime terms) complement the action superbly.

Controller
With slow motion and autofire settings and programmable function, this Sunsoft joypad is a fine third party pad and has a nice feel in the hands.
