Gaming Fighting/Beat em ups??

[Kyuzumaki]

I know streetfighter alpha 3 was made for the GBA, as was an aweful version of mortal kombat and, tekken, but are there any fighting games for the DS??

 

[AeroScap]

Bleach 1 or 2. Very playable even though it is in japanese

 

[Knab]

i wish there was some decent fighter not made off anime, dont get me wrong i like anime, but in not a fan of games being made after a show or movie.

i want a good old 2d street fighter the stuff i grew up on, not guilty gears, or an anime fighter those always seem to disapoint me.

 

[tjas]

didn't rare state that they where going to develop 2 games? well the first one was didy kong racing maybe the next one will be... KILLER INSTINCT!

 

[Resident0]

yeah the GBA version of Mortal Kombat was god awful, the controls were totally out of wack and the game engine didnt even FEEL like MK.

It was so crap.

 

[Kyuzumaki]

hmm sad really the ds has so much more potential in terms of fighting games with wi-fi, more buttons and it's bigger screen.

Is emulating the megadrive or supernintendo versions possible currently?

if true

DS really needs a good fighting game. Especially one that gets localised.

I would love to see a 2D version of Soul Caliber. That would be awesome.

Street Fighter 2: Hyper Fighting on SNESemulDS = Perfection!

 

[Rayder]

Seems I remember hearing about a King of Fighters game that is supposed to be in development.....

 

[gov78]

yeah that was last year april i hope they didnt can the idea

ps MY 200 post yay for me

I'm betting on Donkey Kong 64 seeing Rares own characters are under Microsofts hooded claw even though someone did state that some Rare creations may appear on DS I really doubt it would be Killer Instinct or the sequel, I have read a year ago that they didnt have any plans to bring Killer Instinct franchise back in the nearby future.

As for King of Fighters it wasnt officially confirmed, someone from SNK said something like "expect an announcement for a KoF on the DS soon) that was in April...last year I guess it would've been canned as nothing has been said. There was rumblings of a brand new DS Mortal Kombat.

Is it me or every week someone asks about a racing games or fighting games? Meh no harm done.

Waht version of Mortal Kombat do you mean? I guess MK Advance.
Still, MK: Deadly Alliance and Tournament Edition were OK, off course, those were ports of the next gen (now the old gen) games.

I really think Tekken was a great fighting game on the GBA, along with Super Street Fighter II Turbo Revival (didn't like the controls on the GBA Alpha version).

About fighting games on the DS, I think there is a Guilty Gear game, it must be OK.

 

[Hadrian]

EA are currently developing Marvel Nemesis 2 for various platforms, perhaps they'll bring it to the DS. Whatever I hope it isnt as terrible as the 1st one.

I really wish that Capcom got the Marvel licence again, Sega and Activision have most of them but Capcom would do a much better job and bring back some of those brilliant fighters they did for the Arcades.

I did search first but I....ehem may have only looked at first 2 pages of results...

I'm a Tekken fan.......it was the last game I played in my ps2 before it decide to melt in feb

The GBA version was an impressive attempt at recreating Tekken both graphically and control wise. My problem with it was I felt no satisfaction when I won, don't know why, probably just me.

 

[fischju_original]

How can you guys forget Viewtiful Joe!?

Yeah, I know what you mean. I definitely wasn't the same Tekken experience as on the PS2, BUT it doesn't mean that it wasn't a bad game, I mean it was a GBA, and at that time there weren't good fighting games.
I can also say that it was too easy, and really short lived, BUT it gave me some sweet brief moments.

I don't recall any other fighting game I enjoyed as much as Tekken Advance on my GBA (and showing my friends that Tekken was running on my GBA always got a "wow" from them... ahh.. the memories

)

Street Fighter II Turbo SNES emulated on DS is lovely!

You could always play the Rushing Beat SNES games too, then theres Streets of Rage series with Megadrive/Genesis Emulator!

I can never and will never tire of Street Fighter 2 and i went on a few trips over the last year, and every single time, i played Street Fighter 2 on the flights on my DS.

:-)

Bleach is by far the best. And guilty gear: dust strikers looks interesting.


On a side note, who came up with the clever idea of naming their games so they start with D and S?
Dust Strikers, Dual Sympathy, Deadly Silence, Dual Strike... pfft!
