Strange Fighting Games of Japan

Whether it’s cosplay, or Les Miserables, or just really, really low resolutions, Japanese doujin game developers like to spice up their fighting games with some ridiculous ideas. You gotta applaud them for that.

Well here comes Nazism and titties!

By the way, is anyone out there some kind of expert, or at least a really gung ho enthusiast, who maybe wants to write up a Doujin Fighting Games feature for TIGSource with me? You provide the info, and I’ll provide the editing and formatting, just like our Doujin Shmups feature was handled.

    Not me, but I just have to ask you to include Valkyrie Fight (Tag). I don’t play much games, and no fighting games, but I regularly relieve stress by playing a VFT game on Turbo 3 mode :P.

    Regarding Akatsuki BK; why show a video of two boring blokes when you could have shown one with the sheila with the big floppy tits fighting the geriatric with a sword?

    Because hearing you describe it is so much better than actually seeing it! :)

    Let’s not forget Big Bang Beat or fighting furries!

    The second video is really cool :D The first video looks ordinary to me.

    You’re welcome to reference the one I wrote over a year ago, although there are plenty more doujin fighting games now. If you’re gonna include 3D then you can’t forget Line Kill Spirits.

    Ah, I remember that article. Destruction Desire was something I think I found on The-Underdogs once and enjoyed the crap out of it, then I happened upon -that- article when I was googling for games like it. In fact, I have you to thank for my obsession with Melty Blood Re-ACT Final Tuned.

    Ahh. sweet knife-wielding Ciel. Reminds me to snag Act Cadenza when it comes out. It’s a great read, and you’ve gotta love Inverted Castle, if not just for those Mirrors of the PD games a while back. You.Are.Awesome
