Red Earth is a lot of fun. A shame it took Capcom years to bring it to the home console. I picture a dreamcast port would of allowed you to play as the enemies
Glad to see some love for Red Earth! I had good times saving each of my passwords to train up my Leo. I could see a new one of these having some crazy system where you make your fighter on the console then take it with you on some app where you can train the character on the go. But that might be too quirky of an idea to sell well...
Red Earth is a great and unique quirky Capcom fighter. I remember the first time I saw the game in a magazine I was blown away by the detail that the CPS3 board can produce over the CPS 2 board and the Neo Geo MVS. With that said, I know for a fact that the Sega Saturn which was pretty popular in Japan, could have done an excellent job of bringing Warzard (Red Earth) home if The 4MB RAM cart was mandated and used. Yes, The game is somewhat obscure and not known to hardcore arcade and Capcom fans, but the Saturn was home to the best 2D fighters, brawlers, and arcade games. I can't think of any reason why Capcom did not port this game to the Sega Saturn at least back in 1997 when the Sega Saturn had the absolute best ports of SNK and Capcom arcade games, like the King of fighters and all of the Street Fighter and Marvel fighting games. I guess we should all be happy that it's finally home. In my opinion I believe the only reason it never had a home part is because the game didn't really do well in the arcades to begin with, and had nothing to do with the lack of power of the PlayStation, and definitely not the Saturn or Dreamcast. Capcom probably figured that if the game is obscure in the arcades it will be more obscure in the home market and they couldn't make sense of spending the money to port it.
i became aware of Red Earth from MUGEN, a Freeware Fighting Game engine made back at the turn of the 21st century. games have had so much spotlight brought on them because of this engine, as well as spawned some totally unique characters. even today MUGEN still has a fanbase and new characters are being made all the time, i cant say enough positive things about it, i am blessed that i discovered it almost two decades back.
So glad to see Warzards getting so much needed love! I really wish capcom could have made more titles like this but unfortunately it just was never meant to be however I do love how much art went into this sucker and how this technology would be later used in capcom's Dungeons and Dragons titles as well as other Arcade Hits!
Thanks to people such as yourself. These lost and forgotten games would never see the day of light. I'm getting this on my switch in the capcom bundle. Now all we need is the punisher, revenge of golden axe, aliens Vs Predator, X-Men the arcade game. One can only imagine 😉
I remember reading about it back in the day. Our arcade was run by a family that had a bunch of rare cabinets in their main office in meterie, la, and want to say they had 1 cabinet of red earth but it was so long ago i might be mistaken. Their main office was New Orleans novelty, and they ran nearly every arcade in the New Orleans area. If the game did good in the main office, one of the testing locations was on canal street and the other was on veteran's Blvd, I think. But if it was there, it wasn't there for long. When they shut down, they destroyed most of their cabinets
This is an awesome video on an awesome fighter.....I was wondering if you could do a video on one of favorite fighters of all time : Fighting Layer ( Another Japanese Arcade Exclusive)
A bunch of people and myself actually were the ones who contacted the Capcom for several years to get it released for consoles. It was a petition. So, a few people can actually make a difference. Otherwise they wouldn't have released it for console if fans said nothing. There's several more games on the petition also.
Leo sprite >>>>>>> that sprite was used as a boss in a surprisingly great beat em up called “Martial Masters: New Legend” …. Which steals hella other sprites from the similarly titled IGS PGM fighting game. Also, what a brutal heavy jab … “…but for me, it was Tuesday.” LOL What work is that spectacularly insulting quote from originally ?
i miss the days when japan dominated the video game market, and we had to wait a whole extra year for the best games to come out. demon's souls really brought me back to that, when my friend sent us the korean version nearly a year before the american one dropped just a week after i had seen the previews for the game on youtube and i was bummed that i still had to wait a whole year. god bless my homie for sending that game.
I love the Capcom collection releases even though I never played these games before, they are perfect for 10-20 minutes of gameplay and then getting on with your life just like how it was intended at the arcade. Too many modern games are designed to consume your entire life.
To be fair, prior to the Dreamcast, Capcom wasn't really using the Playstation as a gauge for releasing 2D fighters that required more memory and 2D capability. They were using the Sega Saturn as their support for 2D fighters, and the VS series was really featured on that console. But even that console wasn't ready for CPS3.
Please do videos on mortal kombat 3 (& UMK3), Tekken 2, DOA2, & Soul Calibur 3. As well as videos on the Godzilla fighting games, Blazblue, SNK's World Heroes, Primal Rage, Mace The Dark Age, Sonic The Fighters, & Pokken Tournament
Fun fact: They also use the orb system in pocket fighter. Also think that this game while not successful had a hand and developing the monster Hunter franchise.
Do you have to bite your tongue to not say after every sentence, "Except for emulation.: I've been playing this game for years, maybe a decade using "Emulation." Who cares what Capcom does or thinks, I have an emulator. I have this game along with literally 10'000 more in a pocketable handheld , thanks to what? Lets say it all together EMULATION.
I chose Capcom Fighting Collection because I’m a huge fan of both the Darkstalkers trilogy and SFII.. Besides that I didn’t have a physical copy of lots of these games and I thought it would be neat to have them on cartridge.. Red Earth is definitely interesting..
Weird I usually have played most of the games that you mentioned but I've never even heard of this one. Maybe I heard of it when I was a kid and it came out but definitely never played.
They new they could not bring it to home consoles, because of the lack of quality, plus the fact that most consoles like Dreamcast, Saturn, Playstation was dying out. Arcades were already going bust because they couldn't keep up with having video games 3 to 6 months later releasing on home consoles. So most arcades we're stretching out the video games they had, at this time just to make some money. I know my dad was running an arcade back then with video games downstairs for kids with all the gambling machines upstairs. It was amazing for years until the arcade video game bust. I would love too see a video of the downfall of the Arcade #tophatgamingman
Please do a videos on the whack a mole street fighter game, the 90s VR street fighter roller coaster, the game street fighter mouse generation, & that japanese game where street fighter characters & sumos compete in jockey races
Yeah Capcom has quite a few games that if they were ever to re-release them in a set they'd make money cough cough breath of fire cough cough I mean a cart with the complete history of that franchise would sell
Yes this game was and still is a good fighting game and even though it never came to home consoles the arcade should've let the players also play as the Bosses to - so sad.
@@adventuretaco7140 I think he’d still be able to make a decent anglo heel / pompous manager of his younger PED-using understudy, in some of the smaller American wrestling organizations, while also, in full fake-anglo-supremacy-character, dropping jewels about how “your yanks federal reserve bank isn’t federal AT ALL, since it’s inception, nearly without pause, it’s been overseen by the Bank of England !” lol So he could be a hated heel while doing the low info fans a civil service in education. LBS
@@AyeYoYoYooo I don’t think anyone in the states could understand that ghastly accent of his lol but yes I agree it would be great to see an American wrestler stand up for our freedom against the evil English oppressors !
Leo is still a badass, I'm done caring about furries finding and fetishising things 20 years after the fact. He's not for them, he is for slashing foes to a bloody pulp with a big sword. All the characters are great in this game, I loved how much it broke from the fighting game formula for a boss rush scenario.
Street Fighter strike is one of my favorites double Impact is also one of my favorites no and then of course Street Fighter2 hyper fighter is it those are my top 3🕹🎮😀👍🏾
Red Earth is a lot of fun. A shame it took Capcom years to bring it to the home console. I picture a dreamcast port would of allowed you to play as the enemies
It would’ve been extremely popular if it was released on the Dreamcast
I just recently played it and it could be its own genre
Glad to see some love for Red Earth! I had good times saving each of my passwords to train up my Leo.

Some of the most rewarding single player gameplay a fighting game ever provided!
I rember when I bought the Capcom fighting collection earlier this year,I played red earth on it,and I thought it was a lot of fun.

Leo does have a good design. He looks pretty badass so it's no surprise that people would like him.
2d fighting games were always my favorite, they just look and feel better.
With the release of both "Rumble Fish" games heading outside Japan, I'd like to see you cover them someday, as they deserve some attention.
So glad to see Warzards getting so much needed love! I really wish capcom could have made more titles like this but unfortunately it just was never meant to be however I do love how much art went into this sucker and how this technology would be later used in capcom's Dungeons and Dragons titles as well as other Arcade Hits!
Wow, 25 years! Thank goodness for emulation!
This game is one of the main reasons that I love video game emulation!
This can be easily emulated in MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) as well as CPS3 emulator. Have fun.
Reminds me of Odin Sphere and Princess Crown, in a way
Dragons Crown flashed through my head..
Always wondered why this wasn't ported to home consoles

you can emulate those on pc...
@@buddyarchivos7338 don't have a PC
The character designs are crazy good
I remember finding this in the wild at a nickel arcade around 2012ish. DAMN good game!

Yes! Do a video on Street Fighter Evolution!
Aww man you didn’t touch on the fatalities!😢

This is my favorite game on the Capcom Fighting Collection
I like to think that years later capcom looked at this game an used it for inspiration for monster hunter
Americans that bought Fighting Evolution or Pocket Fighter got a taste of Red Earth. I have BOTH.
good review and very informative
And this is exactly why Mugen exists.

Wasn't the zoom-in feature used in Pit Fighter before Samurai Shodown? Or does that not count for some reason?
Tessa is genuinely one of my favorite character designs in anything ever.
Red earth is a super awesome game. I really love it.
@9:31 M. Bison has entered the chat LOL. :)
I like figthing games even if im not good at them im glad to have capcom figthing collection
I bet the Saturn could have handled it, but it would have needed the RAM card.
Why the bloody heck couldn't they just port it on the PS2?
Imagine if this game had been released on Dreamcast...at launch.
YESSS
Perfect timing street fighter 6 looks amazing
Please do videos on mortal kombat 3 (& UMK3), Tekken 2, DOA2, & Soul Calibur 3. As well as videos on the Godzilla fighting games, Blazblue, SNK's World Heroes, Primal Rage, Mace The Dark Age, Sonic The Fighters, & Pokken Tournament
I most certainly had at least a pencil and paper in the arcade. Especially the MK/KI days.
I think Capcom ***could have** made a Saturn port using the 4 MB Ram cart to retain smooth character animations etc etc
I wish that Capcom had brought it to The States in Arcades like they did with Street Fighter, Final Fight, Darkstalkers, and more

Never found this in any arcade i have visited in the uk. Wonder how many will play it 20 years on ?
game looks awesome

I got confused and was thinking of the Dinosaur capcom fighting game when I got the collection. I think it's good but needs more characters.

The only interaction I had with red earth was in Capcom Fighting Evolution for ps2
I beat this game several times emulating this on mame.
I had this at home for years via emulation.
Because the game is like one big boss rush mode, and most people don't like that. Beautiful game, but very very niche
Yeah Capcom has quite a few games that if they were ever to re-release them in a set they'd make money cough cough breath of fire cough cough I mean a cart with the complete history of that franchise would sell
Preferably with better translations and a new sequel since Dragon Quarter sucked.
Yes I have their first three games that they ever made but I love the third one it like pacman
Yes this game was and still is a good fighting game and even though it never came to home consoles the arcade should've let the players also play as the Bosses to - so sad.
Dude. Can you do fighters destiny on n64?
It was a good idea but is just not fun man but they should do a good reboot or another game
Classic
i wish i can buy this on steam
I’ve played it on mame it’s definitely different but not bad it is a little slower paced than street fighter
Why is the capture footage such low quality? Does the game actually look this muddy and indistinct?
Isn't this the same video you made 3 years ago?
I never noticed any "poor framerates" with star galdiator on Arcade or PS, nor its sequel. Wasnt 60fps but definitely not "poor"....
You missed out the part where the game has fatalities
Street Fighter zero 3 was on the Saturn

i think it took so long because its based on a comic... i think...
A fascist Lando Calrissian?!! Fuckin' pearler mate!!!
"pokemon-style elements" lol
And not a single Red Earth character made it into a Marvel vs. Capcom game.
At least Tessa made it to SvC Chaos
2 characters were in Capcom Fighting Evolution
