Sengoku is a weird but memorable beat 'em up from the early days of the Neo Geo, and who else but SNK could've come up with a main character named Ninja Dave?
The original Sengoku is one of my favorite side scrollers on the Neo Geo and the sequel is also good too. The SNES version is wholly different game in itself where you can basically use a move that can take most enemies in one or two hits.
Ahhhh! You sure Beat them all! hahaha, well but somehow Sengoku do have slightly better English than other Engrish. Sengoku 3 is the best one, but that almost totally different game than this one. Only thing I liked this game was the sound track and enemy design
Sengoku is not exactly a demonstration of the Neo Geo's capabilities (it could be a SNES game), but it's definitely an very unique game. There exists not a single game to compare with...
@@NintendoComplete yes from Data East, I saw it before. I meant, it depends on programming skills. With good programming and a bigger cart a close port would be possible for sure!
I feel like a lot of Neo Geo games severely underutilized the system. When you've got effectively real arcade hardware in your console, and the actual game could be mistaken for a SNES or Genesis title, you're doing something wrong. The massive amount of dithering and garish, flat shading on many sprites is bizarre considering the Neo Geo could push more colors to the screen in standard mode than even the SNES generally could using its special translucency hardware. Didn't the Neo Geo have *per sprite* palettes like the PSX?
Of all the genres the Neo Geo should have excelled in, it should have been the scrolling beat 'em up. Such a wasted opportunity. The overall quality of those games on the system is horrific. Mutation Nation is probably the best out of the lot and as much as I enjoy it, it pretty much is the perfect example of completely average and totally unremarkable. Not one of the handful of them comes anywhere near to the quality and fun of Streets of Rage 1 or 2 on the humble Megadrive, and compared to the quality of Capcom's... well, Captain Commando p*sses on all of them from a great height, and then Punisher, Cadillacs, AvP are in a different dimension.

It’s kind of like if Final Fight and Altered Beast had a baby.
Yeah, that's a pretty good way of putting it.
This game looks really cool, wish I would have had a NeoGeo growing up
"Ninja Dave" is an incredible name
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so
Such is a frank, modest name!! 🙂
his name is Daniel as 1 Player.
Cowboy also known as Billy as 2 Players.
Wow haven't seen this game in a while.I use to have it back in the day on the Cartridge on Neo-Geo
Seems like i played this in the arcade before. The music is awesome
A unique and fun beat 'em up.
Damn... im gonna get this!
Ahhhh! You sure Beat them all!

There was an SNES game, but it didn't come anywhere close this.

@@greensun1334😂 SNES only excelled in RPGs and platformers for the most part....
@@KarnovJr not my opinion, there are some great fighting games and shmups as well...
Good👍🤟 🌙

Well, it was an early title, just compare it to Sengoku 3 on the same system.
some how *2x playback speed* works!
