Here we have all the games in the One on One Beat Em Up Section.
Game Gear
One on One Beat Em Up
Mini version packs a pocket punch with nice animation and a good recreation of the feel of its big brother, if not quite being able to pull off all the specials with the limited joypad. Very collectable with the success this series has enjoyed.
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
Many believe this should have been released with the Saturn instead of the original version of Virtua Fighter. Yet the pressure of hardware release deadlines meant that the somewhat rushed VF came out first and this superior VF Remix a few months later. This is the original print run – identicle to the second print apart from having the ‘Special Limited Edition’ label on the front cover.
Playstation
One on One Beat Em Up
3D battle fest as the Playstation gets in on this popular N64 series act and with its plethora of special moves and fighting styles there’s never a dull moment. Features unlockable characters and a replay mode to savour your fine timing or cast a critical eye over your bad choice of move. Smashing variety in the backgrounds too with each stage appropriately themed to its inhabitant be it the evil stage or the vast open desert.
Super Famicom
One on One Beat Em Up
Often labelled a Street Fighter clone, World Heroes has far more to its repertoire to deserve being tagged as a mere wanabee of Capcoms Colossus. A fine roster of special moves from the fine ADK resume along with interesting button interpretation using length of press to determine power to get round the four button Neo Geo controller in the original incarnations. The rings can also be set alive with lethal traps in the Death Mode to ensure a lively bout with devious satisfaction to be had in finishing off an opponent, only to watch as they drift into the electric fence in slow motion.
NEO GEO CD

Playstation
One on One Beat Em Up
2D fighter looking fine on the PSX: souped up in this EX Edition so it can conjure the magic of the arcade without breaking into sweat or slowdown. Seeing the huge Juggernaut in fluid action must bring a smile to the face of Capcom’s head honcho.
Famicom Cart
One on One Beat Em Up
Take on the deft of foot Oolong or the brute Chain in this grandmaster of martial arts antics. Gameplay is like a vintage port that only seems to improve with age. Hot fighting history indeed.
Super Famicom
One on One Beat Em Up
A one on one fighter that seems to take the fireballs of DragonBall Z, the speed kicks of Chun Li, the humour of Ranma, the dragon attack from World Heroes and still manages to fight its own battles with nice touches such as background damage being sustained by powerful specials. Interesting characters and well executed, balanced bouts.
GameBoy Original
One on One Beat Em Up
Based on the massive anime series, this fighter takes on all comers with a fight tournament based on the anime. Excellent use of the license taking the intriguing characters of Yu Yu’s spooky world and almost bringing them to life in the fight arena with special moves and bonus levels. Known in Japan as Yu Yu Hakusho Dai Ni Dan Ankoku Bujutsu Kai Hen.
PS2
One on One Beat Em Up
Yusuke was always a tough lad at school having had a rough upbringing before he was killed saving a child at fourteen. He then enters the spirit world where he can thankfully carry on dishing out beatings as in this fight fest brought from the skilled art house of Banpresto. Reminiscent of Bleach in terms of artistic style, the series’ characters come to life on the PS2.

Zoom gives its robot scrapper a sheen and polish as it gets to grips well with the PSX’s architecture to produce solid 3D results. Subtitled The Final Conflict.
