Brawlers are a standard in gaming that is sorely missing in today’s gaming world. Sure, there are the occasional fighting game that is not a one on one affair but it is not often and it is not marketed right. This leads the publisher to declaring the genre a waste of money or dead. Radical […]

Super Nintendo Iron Commando Game Sees Steam Release
July 29th, 2016 Carl Williams It is not that often that I get to write articles about games that were previously unreleased seeing an official release. It just doesn’t happen often enough. That is why getting a chance to write up the official release of Iron Commando on Steam is kind of a cool thing for me. This is a […]

Double Dragon Pulls Brawler Genre into Mainstream – July 2nd, 1987 – Today in Video Game History
July 2nd, 2016 Carl Williams When you think of arcade brawlers there are not many names that will top Double Dragon. Technos knew they had a good blend of unique to the competition game play and graphics with this one. Sure, there were other brawlers available before Double Dragon but none captured the fan base that this arcade unit did. […]

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie Hits Super Nintendo – June 30th, 1995 – Today in Video Game History
June 29th, 2016 Carl Williams Ah, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers– a television show that was aimed at younger viewers but still caught the eye of slightly older fans, myself included. The show was quite different versus what else was available on that channel but just about all of television. Brightly colored characters in spandex outfits wearing face obscuring helmets […]

Today in Japan Retro Gaming: Final Fight Guy (SNES)
March 20th, 2016 Michael Crisman Fans of Final Fight, Capcom’s genre-defining arcade punchfest, were understandably confused when it was released on the Super Nintendo. Let’s be kind: it, uh, wasn’t as arcade-perfect a port as Nintendo’s hype machine wanted us to believe. Gamers, being the ravenous, predatory species we are, pounced on every weakness. “What happened to the Factory stage?” […]

Streets of Rage 2 Continues the Beat Down – December 20th, 1992 – Today in Video Game History
December 19th, 2015 Carl Williams There is no denying that the Streets of Rage series is one of Sega’s most popular outside of Sonic. It is a tragedy of gaming that they have not kept SoR updated on newer platforms like they have Sonic. Streets of Rage 2 continued the beating up of multiple enemies that started with the original […]

November 10th, 2015 Carl Williams Okay, this is getting to be too cool. Piko Interactive have licensed yet another Super Nintendo classic, Legend, and released it on modern digital distribution services, Steam. Piko Interactive have been prolific in turning the image of retro gaming around- rather than releasing illegal reproductions, they have licensed the rights to classic games. These releases […]

November 8th, 2015 Carl Williams Streets of Rage 2 is a fan favorite for the Sega Genesis and for good reason. Fans have created hacks that have brought in other characters like Scott Pilgrim and even fixed the censoring that Sega performed back in the day. The fun just keeps coming. Now, a fan has taken the original game, changed […]

Final Fantasy VII Re-Imagined as a 2D Brawler, ala Final Fight and Streets of Rage
August 16th, 2015 Carl Williams Ah, the brawler, a series that has gotten a bad rap in gaming for being shallow, not much fun and generally generic. I wonder what has taken this once popular genre out of the limelight. A lot of gamers will point their fingers at the popularity of the one on one fighting game genre- rebuilt […]

Raging Justice mixes Double Dragon with Mortal Kombat and Someone Brought a Tractor
March 9th, 2015 Carl Williams It is not all too often that I get to mix in the word “tractor” into the title of an article, but when I can- I will. Raging Justice is a brawler in the style of the classics such as Double Dragon, Streets of Rage and Final Fight. Similar to the old Atari arcade title, […]
