It'd be hilarious if there was a game that had the same intro as this, but instead of the villain kidnapping the woman for the heroes to rescue, he just stole her grocery bag and it was filled with pizza rolls or something. And that was the only motivation for the characters to go fight him and his minions.
When I was a kiddo and had too much time and too many MAME roms I found this gem. Humanity definitely needs more great beat'em up soundtracks with vocals. Also we need a sequel but knowing Konami nowadays that would end as pachinko machine.
After Violent Storm there is only one way to continue. You like Konami? Awesome crazy beat 'em ups? Games that hopefully Konami will make franchises? (or...not....) then time to play *METAMORPHIC FORCE!*
If memory serves, Violent Storm is the third entry in a series. The first was Crime Fighters, and the second was Vendetta. You should really check those out, especially Vendetta. For "wacky" value, check out: Metamorphic Force Undercover Cops (if you play Undercover Cops, it's IMPERATIVE that you play the Japanese version; it plays like a dream, while the "world" release actively removes content and plays far worse!) Battle Circuit (coming out on that Capcom Beat-em-up Collection, along with Armored Warriors, which you should also check out) Combatribes Hook Denjin Makai II Knuckle Bash (oh, this one...) Mutant Fighter Arabian Fight Ninja Kids Also, take a look at Gaiapolis and Gaia Crusaders; both are really obscure, but interesting.
Probably the best Konami beat 'em up gameplay-wise, TMNT IV is still my personal favorite from them tho. Battle Circuit, Osman, Guwange and Sexy Parodius are some obscure arcade games, but Sexy Parodius is probably the most wacky out of those lol.
Don't you hate when you're just minding your own business waiting for your girlfriend to come back with the groceries from the local bombed out shell of a building, and then a fucking motorcycle goblin rides by and snatches her up?
Play GROWL .. it’s a beat em up about stoping poachers 😅 it was super fun and my best friend and I played it in the arcade together all the time as kids!

I happened to pause at 7:47 and noticed the "Enjoy Ora-Ora" billboard. We now need a Jojo/Coke novelty t-shirt with that slogan.

I wasn't convinced this was California until Mr. Julius appeared.
It's nice that you can still buy groceries after the nuclear apocalypse.
That was either the weakest nuclear apocalypse ever, or the people adapted extremely well to it

Just 3 words for the next one:
Ninja Baseball Batman.
Dabel's actually loved by many of his friends.
His club sandwich is to DIE for :D
Wacky obscure arcade games? Yeah.. Guardians of the Hood, Brute Force, or Asylum fit the bill

One, if not, my all time favorite Arcade Beat'em Up. So colorful, so fun, sooooo raaaaaad! Oh that soundtrack I love it so much!
Undercover Cops (make sure it's the Japanese Version) or Ninja Baseball Batman.
That first boss was some serious nightmare fuel when I was about 9/10 playing this in a local Pizza Hut.
Ah yes, Violent Storm. Great game.

12:48 But Matt, he's obviously more metal then molten metal, look at his fabulous flowing locks. He got up and immediately head banged the pain away.
Always appreciate a game with a large amount of dumb unique point giving items (metal slug!)
Undercover Cops is a pretty awesome obscure arcade beat em up!
Goddamn, that first level's soundtrack is so freaking good~
Play PuLiRuLa, Matt.
Matt, please, these intros are too good for us.
It's all about the game "Ninja Baseball Batman"!!
Matt! Play Knights of the Round, its an arcade sidescrolling slasher based on the legends of King Arthur - and it kicks ass!
I will be!
7:05 That't a giant hole-punch.
Why does young matt be lookin like Pan Pizza?
Don't you hate when you're just minding your own business waiting for your girlfriend to come back with the groceries from the local bombed out shell of a building, and then a fucking motorcycle goblin rides by and snatches her up?
Such a different time the nineties were. Well when you can getaway with naming a character DABEL and have him wear a white hood.
God,damn it matt I just got caught up on your videos and I see this right after. No chill
Perhaps play Ninja Combat for the good ol' Neo Geo? At least for the voice acting segments.
Monster Maulers next. It's perfect for you.
Play GROWL .. it’s a beat em up about stoping poachers 😅 it was super fun and my best friend and I played it in the arcade together all the time as kids!
You should give Metamorphic Force a try if you haven't, another over looked Konami with a killer soundtrack.
I'm so angry that I never knew of this game!!!
Wacky side scrolling beat-em-ups, you say? Gotta play DJ Boy.
Matt has like 40 different intros for 40 different show types
Dude, Matt, Dude. Play C.O.W. Boys of Moo Mesa.
I would love to see you play Rabbit Punch!
Dammit Matt.. I love you so much.
...I miss games like these. I should make a game like this.
Captain Commando
Metamorphic Force!
*Ok, this is epic*
Metamorphic Force, plz.
It's the lost child of Altered Beast and the X-Men arcade game. Made by Konami.
Oh man, that Konami soundtrack.
Have you played Dead Connection? You should play Dead Connection if you haven't played Dead Connection.
Cadillacs and dinosaurs by Capcom, or the sailor moon arcade beat em up game.
Hope these
Oops I hope these recommendations help
Pizza Girl is best waifu
OK 21:42 Sledge is DEFANATELY a TMNT ripoff!
i know a arcade game you should try mat undercover cops
Oof the audio desync is bit of a problem
Wade of the northstar?
Cadillacs and dinosaurs!!
great game, even better music....
Please, play Guardians: Denjin Makai 2.
It's not obscure, but can we get a video on Cadillacs and Dinosaurs?
