GOD I wish I could relate. As someone who involved myself in the world of martial arts I can't tell you HOW many times I've entered a tournament PURELY to grow as a human being by testing how hard I can push against my limits, and ended up involved in some rich Machiavellian "might makes right"-asshole's scheme. Like, yeah commander Drak, luring all the worlds foremost experts on kicking ass to the same place sure is gonna work out for you THIS time! Wanted that monk lady to exorcise you for the SIXTH time? Give that french legionnaire a chance to avenge his husband's death a second time? At this rate even I've killed you, and I don't even know why you're doing this shit! I'm just here for the gains, bro! Sorry, didn't mean to dump. It's just hard out here, when you're doing this to escape the ratrace and just be a chill kick-hobo and the ratrace keeps trying to pull you back in. It's hard and no one understands.
Yup, I do this all the time! I even used it to translate a bunch of keys on my MSX2+ I got not long ago. It can be a bit goofy to work with, but it will definitely help.
I always thought this was a port of the PC Engine game with some extra bells and whistles. Might have to pick this one up too. Thanks for another informative video.
I remember playing this game on an emulator back in 2001 and damn, I was blown away how good this game was. I almost felt it was a precursor to Guilty Gear in some ways. Absolutely worth playing for the fighting game fan.
This is definetly a hidden gem. I remember that when I discovered that there was a fighting game with an "adventure" mode and RPG elements, it blew my mind. Thanks for covering that one man.
I appreciate the pause you give before your last words to give the audience a moment to just experience the visuals and audio of the game while reflecting on your review, always a nice touch. I hope you have a great rest of your day too, stay drunk 💗
Damn, so much about this game was a mystery to me back then. I was about to discard it as "just another fighting game" but was still charmed by it. So glad to finally understand what was it all about! Kinda makes me wish newer fighting games followed a similar approach, they'd stand out immediately.
On the topic of fighting games - the Sailor Moon fighting games for snes have become pretty popular recently but still i think an episode for them would be cool
This game looks pretty impressive! I always appreciate it when fighting games tried to do something like this, with leveling up & improving your fighter. Not too many games did that.
Its like a prototype of Soul Caliber! Your video also taught me that King of Fighters was never released on SNES, because I couldn't believe that didn't get a mention and had to look it up.
Very nice! This looks like a fun fighting game! I am quite surprised at the amount of depth this game seems to have for a Super Famicom game! I hope eventually this one gets an English patch.
oh great, thanks for the NKOTB reference. That's my brain now playing the tune and trying to dig out the lyrics for The Right Stuff for the rest of the day.
I love the totally abrupt "Ok, I wanna thank you for watching, and I hope you have a great rest of your day!", like it always catches me off-guard like "oh ok the video's over now" lol
Feels a lot like the weapon master mode on Soul Calibur 2, where you can buy weapons and skins, level up and complete missions. I really like when fighting games offer interesting modes and extras.
I played a lot of the PC-Engine game back in the day. I always laughed at how Bang flips people the bird, both in cutscenes and at the beginning of each match. And yeah, advance mode is really cool.
Great game I only knew about because of emulation , but the moment the anime intro with huge graphics began I was sold out ,because I never seen that before (except for later titles like Street fighter alpha 2 and that's adaptation for room capcom this was from an unknown company). But turns out the game was really cool too I missed quite a bunch of the features you mentioned because I couldn't understand Japanese but at least I got around the menus to upgrade my character a bit in fights. The artwork included in the manual was really neat too, I've seen some scans online. The character designs are great too
I like fighting games, and I thought I was aware of all the fighting games worth playing on the sfc. Boy was I wrong and I'm glad I was. Appreciate the find
Been playing this on the Super Everdrive. Love it and now I wanna get a physical copy of this game someday. My favorite character is Harman. XD By the way, I've just got an American SNES last month as a late birthday present. Now I got both a Super Famicom and an SNES.^^
congratulations. Did you know that there's a couple tabs in the SNES that prevent you from inserting an SFC cart? If you remove the tabs you can use it for all of your games
@@ChibiKami Thanks.^^ Yeah. I know about the plastic tabs in the SNES. When I received it, the tabs were already removed by the previous owner. I cleaned it up a bit and it looks so nice to look at and to play.^^
I remember coming across this via random rom picks on an emulator many, many years ago. Found it a hell of a good time even having to muddle my way through the kanji. There are some great backgrounds also, I must say.
Great graphics! They look like a Genesis game but more colorful, and I mean that in a good way. A lot of work was put into both the animations and backdrops.
This kind of reminds me of World Court Tennis on the Turbografx where it's a Tennis RPG where you do quests to buy better equipment and improve your stats to win Tennis games. And I'm giving it to you for working in New Kids On The Block and keeping it cool.
just wanted to add to the positive comments this morning! I like the art direction on this one--the portraits remind me of a specific anime that's on the tip of my tongue. Big O? Slayers? neither is right.
I was about to joke on how the word "Tycoon" in the game title makes it sound like a business/money management sim, only to discover there are elements of that in this game.
Still shocked I have never heard of this game, this sounds amazing. Hopefully a real patch will come out because this def needs more attention. Nice find and great video.
This just made me think of the Gundam Wing fighting game for Super Famicom... it didn't have as many niche features as this game, but it was an exceptional fighter
I love playing random fighting games on snes, honestly my only real requirement is the backgrounds have to be nice to look at. I can put up with literally anything if the music is awesome or the art is. This game looks like I can actually enjoy the game too.
Hi friend. First of all, congratulations for the channel. It is spectacular. I'm finishing "squeezing" the Glenn Plant channel on N64, and then I'm going to continue with yours. I am a fan of retro consoles, especially those from my childhood: NES, SNES, SEGA Genesis and N64. I don't have an original SNES, but I bought a USB controller to test the games on my pc. I can't wait to see all your analyzes and recommendations. Greetings and thanks for sharing your content!
Those character designs would fit so much better in a Beat-Them-Up (that or I'm just a sucker for weapon based beat-them-ups), the other genre that was EVERYWHERE at the time ^^
This fighting game is more interesting than any new ones we got recently, more to do in single player in this one. Granted the new games now have online mode to compete with other players but that could always be intimidated when you haven't figure out the basics, especially we still rarely had a good tutorial mode to teach newcomers in this day in age. Missed when developers were making ambition with experimenting on modes like Tobal No.1's Quest Mode.
Something you didn't put as much emphasis on as I expected is how blindingly FAST the game is! Most bad fighting games are brought down by being really slow and clunky, but this game looks even faster than SFII Turbo!
Honestly this looks more like a streamlined version of the PC Engine game, right down to reusing the character sprites, and then using Advance mode to compensate for the lack of that whole voice-acted story scenario the original had. Though in some ways it's more advanced than Flash Hiders was in terms of details and background animation.
I remember randomly downloading this from one of the old rom sites like 20 years ago. I was shocked how interesting a fighting game it was considering I'd never heard of it.
This looks like a cool mix of genres but actually successful compared to some of the outliers we got during the era. Would love an eventual fan translation.
Thanks for the shoutout SNESDrunk! I really appreciate it and I'm glad you still watch my content hahaha. Great video as always!
People helping people, its a beautiful thing
I have to check you out
Growing up with the SNES in the 90s, I sure thought I would see a lot more 1-on-1 fights in the street when I traveled around the world as an adult.
You're not hanging out in the right areas it sounds like. Personally I have gotten tired of all the street fights.
Your kung fu is weak, old man!
Really? Never had a run in with street toughs that kidnapped your girl?
GOD I wish I could relate. As someone who involved myself in the world of martial arts I can't tell you HOW many times I've entered a tournament PURELY to grow as a human being by testing how hard I can push against my limits, and ended up involved in some rich Machiavellian "might makes right"-asshole's scheme. Like, yeah commander Drak, luring all the worlds foremost experts on kicking ass to the same place sure is gonna work out for you THIS time! Wanted that monk lady to exorcise you for the SIXTH time? Give that french legionnaire a chance to avenge his husband's death a second time? At this rate even I've killed you, and I don't even know why you're doing this shit! I'm just here for the gains, bro!
Sorry, didn't mean to dump. It's just hard out here, when you're doing this to escape the ratrace and just be a chill kick-hobo and the ratrace keeps trying to pull you back in. It's hard and no one understands.
@@goranisacson2502 Relatable
For games like these you can always use the Google Translate camera function to instantly translate parts you may be confused about
That is really awesome advise thanks so much didn’t think it would pick up the pixel characters
Really? I didn't know... Thanks...
Yup, I do this all the time! I even used it to translate a bunch of keys on my MSX2+ I got not long ago. It can be a bit goofy to work with, but it will definitely help.
Not gonna lie, your Channel is always the light at the end of a tunnel for me. Keep up the good work and I hope you'll have a good day too.
Not gonna lie? Stop.
@@kattihatt Everyone uses padding in their language, it means it comes from the heart
Same, the consistency of this channel gives me a home, even if I'm mostly a fly on the wall. Definitely brightens up my week each video.
wait...the channel makes you die?
@@BabusGameRoom It's more like a good feeling during difficult times. In more easy and understandable English, it brightens my day.
I played this growing up, didn't understand the language at all, but you'd be able to have fun. Recommended!
I always thought this was a port of the PC Engine game with some extra bells and whistles. Might have to pick this one up too. Thanks for another informative video.
The look of this game is amazing and the gambling on fights aspect is a cool idea
"Check out the FAK" the way SNESDrunk said that made me lol
That's how basically everybody says it
This is the most PC Engine looking game I have ever seen, the aesthetic background is really clear here
I remember playing this game on an emulator back in 2001 and damn, I was blown away how good this game was. I almost felt it was a precursor to Guilty Gear in some ways. Absolutely worth playing for the fighting game fan.
This is definetly a hidden gem. I remember that when I discovered that there was a fighting game with an "adventure" mode and RPG elements, it blew my mind. Thanks for covering that one man.
this is great, i love the rpg aspects
When I think Snes is out of great games to discover, Snes Drunk comes with another one. This one looks sick, bro. Thanks again, bro.
I appreciate the pause you give before your last words to give the audience a moment to just experience the visuals and audio of the game while reflecting on your review, always a nice touch. I hope you have a great rest of your day too, stay drunk 💗

Love early morning uploads from you. A great way to start my day!
Its like a prototype of Soul Caliber! Your video also taught me that King of Fighters was never released on SNES, because I couldn't believe that didn't get a mention and had to look it up.

"calls Mortal Kombat a novelty fighter"-- cue Michael Jordan "and i took that personally"
"calls MK a novelty fighter," this is where I put the Walter White gif of him saying, "You're god damn right."
Holy shit, this looks fantastic!
oh great, thanks for the NKOTB reference. That's my brain now playing the tune and trying to dig out the lyrics for The Right Stuff for the rest of the day.
For me "Step by Step" (uuh Baby!).. and now I have to search for the cartoon..
It would be a disservice if this game wasn't rereleased for the Switch.
Wow this fighting game looks amazing I'm not even into fighting games anymore but I would play this
I love the totally abrupt "Ok, I wanna thank you for watching, and I hope you have a great rest of your day!", like it always catches me off-guard like "oh ok the video's over now" lol
I don't get the time to play games much anymore but I never miss your videos. Great work!
Damn, I would have absolutely loved this game as a kid back then. Especially how you can use your created character in 2player mode.
Feels a lot like the weapon master mode on Soul Calibur 2, where you can buy weapons and skins, level up and complete missions. I really like when fighting games offer interesting modes and extras.
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the videos you put out. Thanks :)
Dang, how did this concept not take off?
I played a lot of the PC-Engine game back in the day. I always laughed at how Bang flips people the bird, both in cutscenes and at the beginning of each match. And yeah, advance mode is really cool.

"any way you can"
i love the way you can hear him getting all sarcastic right there. hahaha.
seriously though, it's a great euphemism.
Total length of video: 360 secs.
Total length of "SNES Drunk": 4.5 secs.
1.25% of the video was spent listening to "SNES Drunk".
You are by far my main source on which carts to add to my SFC collection. Keep em coming.
I like fighting games, and I thought I was aware of all the fighting games worth playing on the sfc. Boy was I wrong and I'm glad I was. Appreciate the find

Everytime I watch « forgotten games » I’m amazed to see good games for the snes I wasn’t not aware of. What a console! Thanks for your uploads!
Have a great rest of your day too mate!
Great graphics! They look like a Genesis game but more colorful, and I mean that in a good way. A lot of work was put into both the animations and backdrops.
I always watch your videos early in the morning so i can maximize when you wish me to have a good rest of my day
This kind of reminds me of World Court Tennis on the Turbografx where it's a Tennis RPG where you do quests to buy better equipment and improve your stats to win Tennis games.
And I'm giving it to you for working in New Kids On The Block and keeping it cool.
Men, your channel is like a gold mine of video games.
just wanted to add to the positive comments this morning! I like the art direction on this one--the portraits remind me of a specific anime that's on the tip of my tongue. Big O? Slayers? neither is right.
In other words 90s anime 💖
Watanabe No Kenshin wa Omarubi: Slayer of the Big O.
wow the 90s anime artstyle looks great, im gonna play this for a while and see how it actually feels to play
I wish more games were like this. I really like the idea of building up your character.
I have it and more or less manage to win the game, and i found it quite unique a figthing game that atempt something different
I love that these videos release in the mornings for me to watch to start my day
This is one of my favorite fighting games; so cool to see it getting some love!
That 90s anime crunchy af. Really shoots me back.
Picked this one up on a whim last year. It's a fantastic game.
This channel has been gold ever since I got my fxpakpro
You won over my pathos, ethos, _and_ logos with your NKotB knowledge. Well played!
I was about to joke on how the word "Tycoon" in the game title makes it sound like a business/money management sim, only to discover there are elements of that in this game.
Absolutely love this channel. Please never stop.
I love discovering new old games to play
Still shocked I have never heard of this game, this sounds amazing. Hopefully a real patch will come out because this def needs more attention. Nice find and great video.
Cool. Finally someone making a video for this. It's just as obscure as Spectral VS Generation or Asura Busters.
man this game looks hella nice! def gonna try it out
Wow this looks cool, would have loved to play this back in the day.
Lovely!
Love seeing ambitious SNES games
This just made me think of the Gundam Wing fighting game for Super Famicom... it didn't have as many niche features as this game, but it was an exceptional fighter
Looks awesome. Just picked up a CIB copy for about 20 bucks. Can't wait to try it out.
Great video as always, keep up the great work. Your videos always cheer me up, so thank you!
I love playing random fighting games on snes, honestly my only real requirement is the backgrounds have to be nice to look at. I can put up with literally anything if the music is awesome or the art is. This game looks like I can actually enjoy the game too.
The casual nature of your videos radiate big ClassicGameRoom energy
This true, and it makes me miss CGR
Man, I'd have loved this back in the day.

Anyone else get a warm and fuzzy feeling any time he says "play it any way you can?"

As always you have provided an insightful presentation on hidden Gems... Looking forward to the next one!
Damn. All the depth to this game makes me wish I could play this one.
Sprite work is amazing here.
i fuckign love this game
Looks like a very good one! Thanks for finding and sharing this gem.
Would have loved to see this game as a Kid, so many cool and weird games never came out of Japan.
Great video! I'm always on the look for fighting games that do this kind of thing. Thanks man.
Okay, there really are cool snes games i still haven’t heard of in 2022.
I liked the arena gambling in Brain Lord, so this is neat, too
mm, good startup, gave me that THX vibe. :D
This looks like a cool mix of genres but actually successful compared to some of the outliers we got during the era. Would love an eventual fan translation.
Wow, again, never ever heard of this game. Looks pretty good!! Great video!
I love weird obscure fighters that are actually good
How do they flash you if they're hiding it?
Maybe they hide it away after they flash it??
Late seeing this, but glad I did. Gane looks awesome
Hanging tough? Step by step? Man, you're laying the cheese on real thick this morning
2:20 holy crap that robot lady looks RAD.
Just played this one recently its a really good fighting game.
Whoa! This looks like Revengers of Vengeance (Battle Fantasy) done right!
I would have eaten this up as a kid! I bet it would still be alright now if nothing else
Great early start
Thanks SNES drunk,nice video.
