Burning Fight Longplay (Neo Geo) [QHD]

Developed and published by SNK in 1991

There's not much to say about this Final Fight clone, other than it's surprisingly decent. It's a very straightforward side-scrolling brawler with typically high quality graphics, and fun gameplay.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about this is the way you can enter doorways in the background and earn some bonus points and extra energy by trashing the contents. In some ways, I think this actually makes you the bad guy - you just wander in and smash up some poor guy's drug store for a can of coke!

Ah yes that time I visited Dotonbori in Osaka Japan. A man jumping fly kicked people off motorcycles then punched and kicked to destroy a pickup truck to fight a member of the Yakuza right afterwards. Such fond memories.

[@yellowblanka6058]

I don't know how much they're paying these gang members, but the second I saw somebody cripple a pickup truck with their bare hands I'd be out, lol.

You haven’t lived until you’ve tried French fries from a freshly smashed garbage can in japan.

[@theodorehsu5023]

I remember playing this when the Neo Geo was still a novelty at the arcade. Didn’t get too far as needed a lot more time and quarters.

[@dudbolt9707]

The legendary wrestler Tom Anderson

[@neckofthewoodsupdated7549]

Yep, we know Who that Character is really supposed to be based off of; And No, It's Not Arn Anderson....

[@bodzio_stawski187]

Legendary? Maybe in USA...

SNK always evoke good memories from the childhood

[@Conan_the_Based]

The Hans Zimmer "Black Rain" influence on the soundtrack is undeniable, but it just makes this game that much more awesome.

[@scottvanhille5688]

Used to play this at Putt Putt Golf in the 90's. Thanks for the nostalgia.

[@MPG92]

OH THE GOLDEN MEMORIES! This takes me way back! I had a good old time playing this in the arcade when I was a kid, and the part where I had to fight the truck with the dudes in it was mind blowing. Had it not been for this video's thumbnail pic (showing Ryu punching the truck) I never would have recognized the game in the video at all lol. Games were GAMES back then, they sure were something smh, - geez look at me...I am talking like a grandpa over here lol. Anyway, thank you AL82! You definitely got my 👍 vote!

[@Francesc1983]

I totally get you. Nowadays, games are cool and everything, but they are somehow so much more than games. All of them have intricate plots, well-paced stories and whatnot, and they are great; but sometimes I miss when games were just games, as you say, and everything you had to do was grab the controller and mash the buttons. Yes, I suppose we are growing old...

[@Leedleleedle101]

ah the good ok days of fighting crime as mike hagger, guy and … wait this isn’t final fight?

[@orion8]

Music is even better, can't believe it was done in 1991

[@bricefunk146]

It's the " Final Fight " SNK !

[@edvardgt4465]

ringrangadong for a holiday

[@WaldoBagelTopper]

This feels like a game you would have dreamed up in a fever dream as a kid in the 90s. And of course it wouldn't be a proper beat em up from the 90s without an "on top of a speeding train" level 😂

[@justinmartin7324]

Nice Choice

[@theodorehsu5023]

Good job as always.

[@ムショ区ニー都]

ファイナルファイトってとんでもない名作だったんだな

[@LePopCollectibles]

Was that Hulk Hogan for the 2nd boss fight? Cool.

[@lumtaroc]

This is a very awesome game I love when u can break objects and when u can go in the stores.it looks so fun to punch and kick too. I love the Japan setting. I like the first and last name characters all the main character are cool too. The first boss reminds me of muscle power.

[@MrZillas]

@Armor King - Try out "64th street"

[@giuseppelavecchia775]

Si vede la potenza del neo geo.giocato molto bene.gran gioco

[@that209gamepicker]

This looks and sounds good i need to add it to my collection

[@stofopdenaald132]

Never heared of this one, eventhough I'm a sidescrolling beat'm up guy 🤔 will have to check it out, looks fun!

[@yellowblanka6058]

The ending should include a trail of angry shop owners with itemized damage bills.

[@orion8]

Physics look well even in 2021

[@nateword]

can't believe I once played through this

[@videogameobsession]

27:04 Your finishing pose did not go unnoticed.

[@ultrasax143]

I remember playing this in my psp

[@Francesc1983]

I was lucky to play this game when I was a kid. I remember I chose Ryu, and my brother played as Billy. Something odd was going on with the credit counter: we inserted a single 100 pesetas (0.60 current euros) coin, which would normally have allowed for 2 credits for each one of us; but we died once and once again, and the game would just let us continue all the times we wanted. Eventually, the arcade cabinet which was next to us (Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder, great game!) went vacant, so we just stopped playing Burning Fight and moved to Golden Axe. Sometimes I wonder if we would have just beaten the game if we had kept playing.

[@SwedishWargoat]

Wat. Leaving a free arcade machine? :(

[@olivierauberger]

This happened to me with Windjammers. We played 99 credits with a friend.

[@nostalgia.gamess]

great gameplay, congratulations

[@hudbuh2071]

Even had a history, bha!

[@masteroffootball5828]

This game is so good

[@angeldeb82]

I noticed characters have birth dates, but I never knew that there were "constellations" next to their birth dates, which I believe would be zodiac signs.

[@lovenlightman]

Great game never knew about it

[@erikglennrosenquist9010]

Swagtastic game. Ryu is a badass.

[@jackmehoff7430]

The streets of Hong Kong in 1980’s. Jean Claude Van Damme is under one of those alleys participating in bloodsport.

[@mikeymartin80]

Makes me wonder why they wont make games like this today . ?

[@umagnus77]

this guy definitely inspired by Guy from Final Fight

[@DarkChojin]

The first game I ever played on the NeoGeo and as such, I still have a soft spot for the title, even though it's just absolutely mediocre.

[@pixelgoat7317]

Azusa & Yujiro (yu-hee-ro) Heike (hike) are married Yakuza gangsters.

[@davidsavage5630]

The music in that first stage sounds like something I've heard before. From a movie I think. I'm pretty sure it's the end of Drunken Master II that I'm thinking of but I'm not certain. Even if that is the case, this game is apparently older than that movie anyway. They should make more games like this nowadays..

[@Extrasailor]

I like the levels!

[@pericoperico9869]

when l was kid l saw him this videogame in the tutuli square in the 1992 or 1993 and l never knew about the name of this videogame and now l know him

[@KarlSturmgewher]

This needs a sequel. Dotemu could handle it.

[@BoozeAholic]

I'd rather they make SOR5 or a new Golden Axe.

[@allenscott68]

Zulu swashbuckler. Damn I would have loved to come across this game back in the day🗣‼️

Shop Owners at the street "OH MY GOD...."

[@leor7582]

Compared to final fighter or Streets of Rage I thought this game would look a lot better but it don't. This game look like and early 16 bit beatem up Neo geo was capable of putting out amazing arcade. Pass on this one

[@deceiver444]

100% agree. Could have been much better.

[@lorddeimos3129]

One answer to final fight AND streets of rage...

[@GodsMadeMan]

This looks so much like Final Fight (even the name is similar) how did SNK NOT catch a lawsuit from Capcom ?

Why is Casterora the last boss? Is there no one like Mr. X from "Bare knuckle Series"?

[@user-kv6uo5kz2o]

They should have featured in KOF

[@jagergerg9771]

Seems like the developers used Duffy a little too much

[@hisgracedwaynedibley7443]

I'm wondering if he's supposed to be Dusty Rhodes.

[@twanfatherstl31l]

this game remotely Streets of rage , final fight and double dragon

[@Lupo32]

Ryu saeba = guy Duke edwards = cody travers Billy king = mike haggar

[@KenMasters.]

Also: Ryu Saeba = Phillip Rhee Duke Edwards = William Zabka Billy King = Dolph Lundgren

[@somebose7395]

Is it a copy of vendetta

[@alexojideagu]

13:52 That's blatantly based on a real song, used in advertising all the time. Anyone know what it's called? If they released this game on a virtual download they would probably have to remove it.

[@wordman3624]

Let's rip off Final Fight, but then not do it as well. Okay, sounds good. Go for it!

Final Fart.

[@crazyworld4580]

Eu queria baixar "pulstar" neo geo

[@Smoothie_The_Gamecat]

I have this on PS4. Once the enemy surround you, you can't react back. In my opinion, Final Fight arcade is much better.

[@yellowblanka6058]

To be fair it's possible (and a regular occurrence unless you're very good) to get stun-locked and beat down in Final Fight as well. And if you're unfortunate enough to be near an Andore when that happens he'll then jump into the air and come crashing down on you to add more injury.

[@deceiver444]

It looks good but honestly doesn't play that great. It lacks the super slick and addictive gameplay of its Final Fight model. The character design is a bit bland as well and the music generic and uninspired. Not a bad game by any means but definitely not a great one.

[@gsrleo]

As much as i love Neo Geo, this games character models looks terrible compared to Final Fight imo…

[@stephenhall2980]

Sorry but burning fight is rubbish. I love the neo Geo and scrolling brawlers but this is far behind streets of rage 2 on the megadrive and the arcade version of final fight.
