Do you mainly play these retro fighting games single player? I was just wondering since games like fatal fury 2 for the neo geo are literally almost unplayable in single player mode. The ai reads every one of your moves and has temporary invincibility frames where your attacks wont land. I just want a good single player fighting experience but I have yet to find one after relentlessly searching the neo geo fighting games library and much more.
I've owned both the Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers games. The only other game I heard of is Fighters History (because of Street Fighter). And never heard of the other fighters here
Gundam Wing endless duel is probably one of the best looking 16 bit games ever. It’s plays and feels more 32 bit than 16 bit. Crazy that it was never related in the west.
Endless Duel was so good. It was easily one of the best looking games of that generation. My brothers and I spent countless hours playing it on emulation way back when. It was the reason we figured out how to configure a second controller to the emulator. Years later after moving away from home, it was the first SFC cartridge I imported. Even though by that time, PS2 was king of the world, I still got my jollies in my Navy barracks room playing a Super Famicom fighter.
Fun fact, if you play the game and not lose a match, your last boss fight will be Epyon. I dont think i was ever able to beat Epyon. If I did, it was definitely down to the wire as I've spend a lot of time fighting him and got close so many times. Dont remember if you have to be in hard mode or not to get him to trigger. I wanna say Epyon is also a hidden character but only playable in versus mode.
It's amazing how many Super Famicom games had voices. No matter what genre. Fighting, RPGs, shooters, platformers, beat em ups, but western SNES games didn't have nowhere near as many voices.
Gundam Wing Endless Duel’s opening absolutely blew my mind back in the day. I went so far as to have the opening theme for it play as my pc startup theme. 1 of the best games on the system hands down.
Yu Yu Hakusho Final is an excellent game I had it when I was a kid, if you perform a special move when the enemy has low health there's a short cutscene, that blew my mind as a kid, not to mention the amazing OST, this and Dragon Ball Hyper Dimension are one of my favorite Fighters ever.
Did your parents get a copy of Yu Yu Hakasho Final imported from Japan from online and pull the things inside the cartilage slots that was preventing Japanese Copies played in the SNES consoles out of the SNES consoles to play Japanese Region Games on your SNES console?
I've played TMNT Tournament Fighter and the Ninja Turtles were a popular franchise at the time, so many of their fans heard of this game. Many of the games on this list were Japanese exclusives.
It returned in the recent TMNT Cowabunga Collection. The original releases were hurt by the lack of an arcade release during a period when fighting games were defined by the arcade. It didn't really help that each console (SNES, Genesis, NES) received a completely different incarnation of the game.
The Taekwondo game looks amazing. Very nice graphics and I love the cheering crowd in the background. The game looks so alive with so much people here and there like it was a real tournament. Really want to try that one along with the Ranma one that I didn't even know it existed.
I didn't know that Power Instinct and Fighter's History were ported to the SNES!😱 I played them in arcades a lot back in the day🥰 Weapon Lord more than deserve to be resurrected. Imagine it remade and running on current hardware!
There was redesign project for Weaponlord but it never took off. The art is absolutely amazing though and I would support a crowd-fund if it was ever done especially if they added more fighters.
Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle was a really fun game that I would have included over an import. It used to be one of my favorite games that I owned back in the 90s. Even though the controls were a little weird, It had amazing graphics and animation and a really great soundtrack.
Glad you threw the "almost" in there for those of us who would otherwise raid the comment section talking about how we haven't forgotten any of them haha. For me personally the only one that I just completely forgot/may not have ever known about was Taekwon-Do. Everything else I'd played, owned, or at least heard of (always wanted to play Battle Tycoon). And I played the hell out of some Endless Duel!
Tournament fighters it was my first snes game... I work hard to save my money, and buy a snes, and that cartridge... And i pay little by little, and when I have finished, I take it home... Aaaaah, so many memories... The artbook has a beautiful illustration of chrome dome...
Great video with a good selection of games! I'm glad to own an original copy of Gundam Wing Endless Duel. The game is worth playing even today when you're into fighting games. I love the intro and its overall music.
When I was a kid, my dad often time went to Japan for work and he always brings back games from Japan to play on my SFC. I remember playing almost all of the games on this list.
TMNT Tournament Fighters isn't overlooked at all. It has a quite surprising competitive scene and people researched some tech on it. Gundam W Endless Duel, a shame that game got stuck in Japan because it's gorgeous.
You are right. In fact, from the list it's probably the best known game. Although I think Konami itself was more confident in its sales success (which finally didn't happen).
me and my brother played Gundam endless duel nonstop, the aircombos were introduced here way before marvel vs capcom series. And I'm glad you used Heavyarms stage to feature.. amazing track!!
It's 1998, you just downloaded Snes9x, saw the Gundam title, hit download. The next week you were buying a 2nd controller and inviting your friends over. Probably one of the best fighters in HISTORY. Two years later, Gundam Battle Assault released in US on PS1.
The Gundam Wing Endless: Duel game is so good. Not only the gameplay and graphics but the soundtrack is so good, definitely in the top 5 for SNES games. I actually have several videos of me playing that game with a buddy over a decade ago in my channel. I've also played the Sailor Moon and Ranma games a long time ago but I never really paid attention to them.
Back in the day I was convinced that the TMNT tournament fighters was gonna be the next big thing and was looking forward to a sequel but alas this would never be 😞(sigh) the road not taken....but on the brightside we got a Bits & Beats vid 😁👍
SF II opened the floodgate of the fighting game. I remember there was a time when a new fighting game was released almost every month. And the most impressive thing is, most of them were quite solid. That was a good time for fighting gamers.
Fun fact played all these games on the Snes emulator back in HS. Actually was lucky enough to play ranama1/2 on snes in the early 90's before the anime hype. Btw that gundam fighter game was remade for the PS1 flew under radars undetected tho. So did the MMPR fighting game! So many memories.
Weaponlord is great, super deep, and received a lot of hype in videogame magazines before its release (and very little after its release), it was like designed by 90s fighting game nerds to make it as deep as possible. I was a kid in the 90s and was weirded out by how my Nintendo magazine had built up hype for this game for months, and nothing at all after its release. Wiki has some examples on how revolutionary it was ""At its core, Weaponlord is a standard 2D fighting game experience. Where it differs is in its gameplay mechanics, and in some of its aesthetic choices and presentation. The game features thrust-blocking, an aggressive blocking system similar to Street Fighter III's Parry system. Also introduced in the game are Deflect moves, a counterattack maneuver that each character has. Certain special moves, known as "Take Downs", knock opponents onto their back. A player can then follow up with additional attacks while their foe is still on the floor. In addition, when certain attacks are performed on an opponent in mid-swing, the player can cut off a piece of their clothing or their hair. Players can finish off matches using "Death Combos", Fatality-style combination attacks that can have a gory effect on opponents. Weaponlord's fighters possess between 9 and 12 special moves each. Moves can be executed one of several ways: sweeping motions on the directional pad followed by an attack button, "charge" moves where a directional button is held for 2 seconds quickly followed by the opposite direction, and finally an attack button, or hold down moves where the player must first hold down an attack button, followed by a directional motion, and finish it by releasing said attack button.""
TMNT Tournament Fighters was really cool, from what I remember playing of it though the controls just weren't as responsive as Street Fighter, but then again during the time it came out that was probably a very high bar to reach
that Godzilla game is a lot of fun. it's a shame that it never came to the states similar to Super BTTF II since I would of loved those games as a kid.
I'm playing Fighter's History and Fighter's History: Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu on the Data East Classic Collection cartridge from Retro Bit. Other fighting games I play on the Super Everdrive x5 at the moment.
Sailor Moon S more specifically well known as "kusoge". It's so unbalanced and crazy that it's dumb fun. I recommend to see highlights from tournaments. Weaponlord is underrated. Big amount of mechanics and crazy combos. Recommendation to go and look at combo videos from this game. Gundam W Endless duel is superb. Good control and very clean and colorful graphics. Sad that this game have balance issues. Recommendation to go and look at combo videos
Weaponlord is so underrated. The parrying, weapon breaks/collisions, combos and staggering to extend the combis and into fatalities is awesome. On top of that the story mode changes depending on which characters you perform finishing moves on .
@@pheenmachine Big issue is balance and wacky input for specials and of course how you approch to mixups. You can gain muscle memory for inputs, but game is prety fast to follow all list of inputs for your chacter. It's have logic, that input copy same direction as your character do this move, but you need very fast to move your fingers and parry at the same time. Limited animation also confuse. For combo - this game have plenty infinites. Snes version have them big amount of it. Mixups is strange. Almost no one have overhead. To break throught block you need to use armor breaker move.It weakenss block for next attacks. So defender need to use, but with this animations is really not easy
Endless Duel was awesome. TMNT, too. Wow on Power Instinct!! I've played the 2nd one and on with my friend (Matrimelee is his favorite), but never saw the first one!
El SNES conto con muchos juegos buenos de pelea, sin duda los basados en anime tenian su merito, pero el de Yu Yu Hakusho, Ranma, Gundam Endless Duel y Sailor Moon Super S son los mejorcitos. Mas por que en Gundam lo hizo Natsume y el de Sailor Moon lo hizo ArcSystemWorks lo cual se nota en su gameplay al ser algo fluido, lastima que la secuela lo medio arruino ya que fue otro estudio el que lo hizo.
Nice list obviously MK, SF and KI are the top dogs of fish on SNES but nice list. I've always loved Primal Rage, TMNT TF, Clayfighter and others here. Also no Street Combat? 😜
Holy smokes that’s a fast turnover. Thank you bits and beats, love these vids and you deliver quite often. Can’t wait to see the Saturn and ps version of these one day.
I played some in this list when I was young. Ranma was very popular in Thailand at the time it was released. But the best one for me is Gundam Wing Endless Duel.
Weapon lord has an oddball special moves system, but if you can get into it, the game plays very fluidly and you can chain combo like crazy! I loved this game back in the day. Easy a top 10 snes game
i played that gundam W endless duel, too many times, and this what happened, at the end, usually its zech pict as final boss with his gundam, but it changed into epyon pilot (forgot the name, but its fit to the story).
There actually is a copy of Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle on the SNES. I played it back when my grandfather's stepdaughter had a rental store. When they were going out of business I tried to buy it but it was already sold off to pay off any debt they owed. Sucks I never got the chance to buy it off them but luck would have it someone is selling it on Amazon for a fair price.
I've heard of all these games and played several of them, Tournament Fighters and Super VG being among my favorite fighting games I hate to be that person, but since you brought up multiple obscure Japanese exclusive fighters, I'm surprised there was no mention of Battle Master: Kyuukyoku no Senshitachi
THIS. Is why Xmen: Children of the Atom is one of the greatest fighting games of all time. It too was released in 94/95 and it's so incredibly good, it not only blows all its feeble competition out of the water but it aged like fine wine to this day. Far superior to all of it's muffled, clunky, so called "peer group". And I say that as a fighting game enthusiast. People will make excuse after excuse but almost 30 years later...there is no excuse. I give it it's flowers and take a bow to true vision and beauty. Its literally decades ahead of it's time...
Weaponlord is so epic. If they had smoothed out the SNES gameplay a little more it would have been much more regarded. Maybe one day DJAMES will get the chance, IIRC he worked on the KI reboot .
I rented the Yu Yu Hakusho Final and the MMPR Fighting game a LOT back in the day (one of benefits of pirated cartridges being common in south america, we got a lot of japanese games like YYH and Ranma)
I remember ranma 1/2 hard battle cause it was advertised on a vhs of one of the episodes. Endless duel Gundam wing yea I played that emulated and than playing power rangers fighter power rangers was poorly done and limited fighters but at least they included Ivan ooze would have been nice if they included the original megazord, dragonzord, dragonzord in fighting mode, red dragon in fighting mode to expand the roster or even tigerzord warrior mode
The real problem with 16-bit fighting games is that most people will play them via emulation. And at that point, it’s just as easy to emulate arcade games, which are a lot better during this era.
I've _never_ forgotten Endless Duel. That game fucking owns. My Tallgeese is sick as hell, and if I see you picking Epyon I'm kicking you out of my house. _YYH: Tokubetsu-hen_ is another surprisingly awesome fighting game, but it's _seriously_ different compared to the traditional list on this video. I prefer it over every other YYH fighting game for how unique it is.
I played the ranma 1/2 ranma game a lot when I was in kindergarten and I went to an ex-friend's house, the same as the power ranger game with a neighbor when I was in kindergarten
I played the gundam wing game in elementary school, when a friend... naah, an acquaintance, lent me his ps1, the series sometimes bored me, but the game did mark me
gundam wing is my favorite fighting game of snes. is forgotten by the most of the people, I dont know why. but is hardly to find this rom in the packs.
You've played all the Super Nintendo fighting hits, but have you ever tried these overlooked gems?
@3:38-4:09= developed by Masaya... as in "Cho Aniki" Masaya? THAT explains everything, LOL!

Played some of this in emulation.
TMNT tournament fighters and Gundam wing are the best ones of the list

Totally agree. That game looks like it's from a 32 bit generation. It's fantastic
I still play now
It has its slowdown moments lol

That's a shame Battle Tycoon Flash Hiders SFX never left Japan, this game is awesome and its story mode is pretty original.
I am with you. It's a good fighting game and its approach is totally unique
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing Endless Duel is like a 16 bit version of Cyberbots and I think it's even better than Capcom's 32 bit fighter.
Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle was a really fun game that I would have included over an import. It used to be one of my favorite games that I owned back in the 90s. Even though the controls were a little weird, It had amazing graphics and animation and a really great soundtrack.
I forgot about that game. Such a dope soundtrack.
The SNES was a pretty powerful machine, clearly the best choice for fighting games in the early to mid 90s. It's still my favourite console.

Aaaaah, so many memories...

Grew up with Gundam Wing Endless Dual thanks to my older siblings. The game still holds up today. Thanks for showing it in this vid. Subbed.
Mobile Fighter G-Gundam was a show I watched a lot on Toonami. The over-the-topness made the show special especially SHINING FINGER!!
Thankfully, we now have the Cowabunga Collection featuring TMNT: Tournament Fighters with online play! 😄
Fun Fact: I played all of them through my cousin who had the Super Famicom as he prefers that one over the SNES version.

No to forget all the Neo Geo Games like Samurai Showdown, World Heroes 1 & 2, Art of Fighting Fatal Fuy 2 & Special.
Or mortal kombat
Or killer instinct lol
Quite a few of these have awesome anime pixel art, not to mention some solid fighting mechanics.
Taekwon-Do is a really good fighting game. You can do an instant KO if you find the right moment. I just love that.
It's one of my favorites from that era, too bad it didn't make it to the western market
I like this new presentation, that you showed the demo/opening first, then the gameplay. Also the texts are more rich imo!
Thank you very much! I always try to improve with each new video. My goal is to give you consistently high quality content

Fighting games on 16bits consoles were a bit mess. Luckily, street fighter was there to save the day.
Back in the day, Gundam Wing Endless Duel was the first game I ever did Netplay on zSNES for.
No one forgot about Ranma. Anime just never got mainstream recognition in the 90's.
My favorite SNES fighting Game
1. Street Fighter 2
2 Dragon Ball Z 2
3. Yuyu Final
THIS. Is why Xmen: Children of the Atom is one of the greatest fighting games of all time. It too was released in 94/95 and it's so incredibly good, it not only blows all its feeble competition out of the water but it aged like fine wine to this day.
Far superior to all of it's muffled, clunky, so called "peer group". And I say that as a fighting game enthusiast.
People will make excuse after excuse but almost 30 years later...there is no excuse.
I give it it's flowers and take a bow to true vision and beauty.
Its literally decades ahead of it's time...
Weaponlord is so epic. If they had smoothed out the SNES gameplay a little more it would have been much more regarded. Maybe one day DJAMES will get the chance, IIRC he worked on the KI reboot .
I rented the Yu Yu Hakusho Final and the MMPR Fighting game a LOT back in the day (one of benefits of pirated cartridges being common in south america, we got a lot of japanese games like YYH and Ranma)
I remember ranma 1/2 hard battle cause it was advertised on a vhs of one of the episodes.
Endless duel Gundam wing yea I played that emulated and than playing power rangers fighter power rangers was poorly done and limited fighters but at least they included Ivan ooze would have been nice if they included the original megazord, dragonzord, dragonzord in fighting mode, red dragon in fighting mode to expand the roster or even tigerzord warrior mode
Ranma 1/2 actually seems to be a great game... Liked those sprites...
Like 👍 your videos keep up the great work
Many thanks Ivan!
Everyone in the West who had some sort of SNES emulator have played Endless Duel
Primal Rage by Atari and Acclaim 😢
that Sailor moon fighting game was super hard with a cheap AI. I received it from some woman in Japan who was giving away all her childhood games.
Great vid
What a pity we never got to play that Godzilla fight game or Variable Geo. Instead, we get a cut-rate Mortal Kombat, Weaponlord. 😞
Gundam wing endless duel and the mighty Morphin power rangers fighting edition on snes both used the same engine more or less which was a great move.
There was a exclusive one call Tuff E Nuff.
Great list
The real problem with 16-bit fighting games is that most people will play them via emulation. And at that point, it’s just as easy to emulate arcade games, which are a lot better during this era.
I've _never_ forgotten Endless Duel. That game fucking owns. My Tallgeese is sick as hell, and if I see you picking Epyon I'm kicking you out of my house.
_YYH: Tokubetsu-hen_ is another surprisingly awesome fighting game, but it's _seriously_ different compared to the traditional list on this video. I prefer it over every other YYH fighting game for how unique it is.
I thought I was the only one that remembered Weaponlord. I'm probably still not far from right.
Huh, I thought it was Gundam Wing's game engine that was used for MMPR: Fighting Edition, not the other way around. I musta gotten it wrong
I played the ranma 1/2 ranma game a lot when I was in kindergarten and I went to an ex-friend's house, the same as the power ranger game with a neighbor when I was in kindergarten
Awesome list. Looks like Japan has a lot of hidden gems
I played the gundam wing game in elementary school, when a friend... naah, an acquaintance, lent me his ps1, the series sometimes bored me, but the game did mark me
Daaang these anime intros still look great
The yu yu Hakusho games were dope.
Power Rangers its awesome, but Gundan Wing its pure perfection! Best fighing game on SNES (to me)
Tmnt tournamet fighters was an awesome game.
Hands down the weapon Lord was the toughest game I've ever played
gundam wing is my favorite fighting game of snes. is forgotten by the most of the people, I dont know why. but is hardly to find this rom in the packs.
