One on One Beat Em Up
Ultraman is pretty much the ultimate man, apart from being a robot. But he certainly is nails, albeit backed up with a possible platinum casing to his nuts. But don’t tell him Genki said that judging by the roster of kaijyu dispatched in this retro fight fest.
Playstation
One on One Beat Em Up
Fine fight title which takes a first person take on the 3D flurry of fists. Enjoyable characters and sense of perspective as Ultraman knocks down giant Tori gate (accidentally of course.) Its the spooky face of Alien Manon which unsettled Genki with its silvery, baby like charm.
Super Famicom
One on One Beat Em Up
Unbelievable to see a Super Famicom release in 2017. And some real coding might behind it too with a crack unit of ex-SNK veterans making up the A-Team.
Famicom Cart
One on One Beat Em Up
Pre-dating Street Fighter, this title puts player as a street brawler up against not only an opponent, but also falling objects from the inhabitants of the building above where the scrap ensues. This can also be a bucket of glitter should your opponent be defeated. Timing is everything. Vintage, Nintendo gameplay, a veritable claret of classic gaming.
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
Subtitled: Darkstalkers’ Revenge. The Saturn was made for titles of this ilk: wonderfully balanced characters hammering it out in 2D bliss. You can feel Capcom’s spark return in this Saturn classic.

Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
Final part of the series on the Saturn sees strides made to improve the play mechanics over Vampire Hunter and includes the exquisite death moves. Incredibly fluid animation with Capcom squeezing out every iota from the Saturn and Ram cart to bring the arcade experience home.

Could the Saturn have beaten the Playstation had this release been the version ‘Remix’ was? Still sold by the bucketload. AM2 flexing it’s Naomi board porting muscles.
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
With graphics as fluid as old man Shun’s drunken style kung – fu, jaws dropped over the huge leap from the predecessor to make this the series finest hour?
Dreamcast
One on One Beat Em Up
Superb fighting series and worthy follow up which was never going to be as great a leap forward as between the first and second installments.
PS2
One on One Beat Em Up
AM2’s opus given a PS2 make over. Huge expectations on this title, yet it did not disappoint. Dazzling lighting and shadow effects. The Drunken Master look a like is a firm Genki fave.
PS3
One on One Beat Em Up
Well worth the wait as Sega polishes its massive series to create a visual punch capable of knocking players out cold for the count. Pugilists flow like water with seamless animation making it at times difficult to concentrate on countering the attacks, such is the graphical splendour. And its not only the players full of fluidity Ethe waterfall level will take a few attempts to get used to before players can focus fully on the battle in-hand. Seventeen playable fighters with some vicious special moves to master to become king of the arcades as players tour round the game centres fighting new challengers. Master is the operative word with ranking determined by performance against tougher opponents with the ultimate aim being to reach tenth dan. So the dojo is a sound place to start for some solid training in the foundations. Tournament mode allows competitors to pick up money or a new outfit to radically alter the player’s on-screen persona’s appearance.

Super Deformed versions of Lau, Wolf, Pai et al in a light hearted take on the VF series.
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
Many believe this should have been released with the Saturn instead of the original version. 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.

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

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
One on One Beat Em Up
The Jet of the title refers to the extra speed in movement added to the mix to make a very tasty fight fest with a few extra specials thrown in for each character just to keep you on your toes and fleet footed. The graphics are the pinnacle of the series on the AES and the results are up there with the finer fight titles on the system – no mean feat amongst such refined company.

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.
