I loved this game. It was so underrated..

[@misunderstood781981]

Sho was!!! Took some coins from me back in the day

[@icebrow]

Probably one of the most underrated fighting games ever

[@Realityunboxed]

Yes! This was way better than street fighter2

[@nicktronson2977]

@@Realityunboxed no.

[@theluiginater]

If there's noting else to say about this game, those battle portraits of the characters are very well executed, with the speedy lines and everything.

[@SmashTom]

Okay that grandmother character is a nice candidate for weirdest character in a fighting game I've ever seen...

[@PixelPigEntertainment]

I used to have an arcade cabinet of this game. I remember sneaking down in the middle of the night to play this.

[@JustinJTime]

Love how one of the of levels is a nod to Mortal Kombat with all the fighters in the game as statues.

[@calvin3464]

This game is pretty good for a Street Fighter 2 clone. It has a nice oriental theme to it and it should come out on the Wii Virtual Console.

[@calvin3464]

@Conner Izaiah I own the Super Nintendo version of this game.

[@Realityunboxed]

But its way better

[@nicktronson2977]

@@Realityunboxed no its not

[@choozu]

This game had one of the best BGMs of its era...

[@limeninelemonfour6957]

I wouldn't be surprised if one of these fighters ended up being a Extra boss in a persona game

[@adrianv2981]

I used to play this in the arcade in the 90s.... memories...

[@DasNordlicht91]

This might be the only game ever where a grandma is the final boss.

[@califaern3sto]

i loved this game so much still do

[@TheBlackStar999]

This was a very entertaining playthrough. Some of the fights were very close!

[@Realityunboxed]

Formula to beat 1: Angela belt: jump and kick while coming down. 2.Otane: Push back and release long punch when she just enters your punch range. 3. Last boss lady(Oume): Jump forward and kick over her fireballs.

[@l0stndamned]

That Angela looked seriously cool

[@tango_gru]

Thanks for creating this one... brought lots of old memories. It took me sometime to search for the name of the game. I just had memories of a few of the players and Reiji was my favorite too.

[@migueruta]

I forgot this Beat'em Up's name since the 90's too... I finally found it when i searched for it in Google with "fighting game with old woman as boss"...😅

[@RealParadoxBlues]

Wow, the first one was almost normal compared to what the series turned into.

[@Detudo]

In my opinion, this version is the best of the series.

[@cqmorrell]

Key word being "almost" :D

[@dimitristripakis7364]

Granny transforms into girl , who shoots sweethearts from her hands, which put the enemy in flames. Makes perfect sense.

[@djantoninus3874]

Totally AGREE!! :-)

[@aayushpal3135]

She makes herself younger. I guess

[@TheBlackStar999]

I'm not just seeing AoF and SF2 here, but some Samurai Spirits as well. The bonus stages have Shinryo Kyoshiro's kabuki theme in them, and the shamisen music in Saizo Hattori's stage is very similar to SS music.

[@damianalexandermontana1092]

Hace rato buscaba este gran juego

[@shadisobremisana7945]

Wow, people REALLY just had to spout "ripoff" at first glance. Power Instinct is a parody of the blooming fighting genre at the time. And of course, no one even brought up the fact that this game predated the stage-barrier mechanic way before it was implemented in Real Bout Fatal Fury and Rage of the Dragons. Pfft.

[@brandonfarfan1978]

I remember this game. Strangely enough, I always found it cool. Not only was the game, and some of the characters a bit wacky (eg. granny), but the music really fit well with the stages too. And the special effects were nicely done. I like this one more, than the bland sequels that came after. 9:03 Axel from Streets of Rage.😲

[@borcuhan77]

90 larda kankimle az jeton harcamadık bu oyuna,favorim Shaolin rahibi idi

[@t.c.x.s.t.x.2877]

I like the match @ 11:25, no mercy with turning up the heat with flaming hits.

[@crazy_buffalo_balrog_02]

Someone has to make a tier list for Ryu clones cause there's so many

[@David-gp6gs]

Que Excelente juego; aún recuerdo los ratos tan estupendos que pasaba jugando!!!! Ahora que lo pienso 🤔 este juego hizo una excelente mezcla entre 3 de los mejores juegos de pelea de la historia: Street fighter, Art of Fighter y Samurai Shadow 😲😲😲. Pienso que lo único que le hizo falta a este juego, lo cual, pudo haberlo catapultado a ser un juego legendario son los Súper Poderes!!!! 🤜

[@ivanbanuelos2097]

Donde puedo jugarlo

[@giddue]

Annie Hamilton (7.15) clearly says "I wanna cash" and "I need that" during her attacks from distance.

[@glbfromjustgian3882]

giovanni scarfini ✌

[@araisannanoda3688]

dude,this game is really hilarious lol

[@t.c.x.s.t.x.2877]

I like the red/blue flames!!!

[@migueruta]

Wow... The nostalgy!...😊It's been so long since i played this Beat'em Up that i didn't even remembered its name. Finally i found it when i searched for it in Google with "fighting game with old woman as boss"...😅

[@Nemesisworks]

Anyone can name the sound played between 0:39 and 0:40

[@rodrigonavarro4955]

joquei muito na minha adolescência.tempo bom que nao volta

Aya ya ya yay aya ya ya yay (4) Matraka matraka Riiiiiii !! 13:18 I remember that I played this game on arcade machines when I was 6-8 years old and until today I remembered that music 18 years ago ... I always wanted to know what game it was until I found it

[@ohteacup]

[@neat3468]

A SF2 clone with scrolling beat-me-up graphics. I love the Grandma with false teeth fireball attack. Haha.

[@ilhamsbp-oki6433]

My favorite character buffalo..

[@armanniazi212]

when i was 8 year Old i use to play this game in gaming shops i forget the name of this game and then after 23 year old i found it on You Tube

[@migueruta]

I can relate to that! I forgot its name since the 90's. I finally found it when i searched for it in Google with "fighting game with old woman as boss"...😅

[@nayyarrashid4661]

Another game I actually saw in the arcade but forgot about...

[@anamendoza7054]

Que fácil lo ponen en el demo. Era superdificil. En especial la abuelita. Que recuerdos. Excelente juego 🎮

[@gustavofabianmonteros5478]

Está en nivel fácil. Yo lo pongo en hardest, solo me falta pasar la final con Angela y Zaiso. Este lo juega en fácil

[@greatrey]

Thin Nen's basically Krillin had he gone thru a growth spurt.

[@wiggychiggy]

Keith Wayne is clearly a Terry Bogard clone! How amusing this game is!

[@joeberryman3563]

This is the first fighting game I've ever seen with a kung fu grandma, and for that, I have to commend it.

[@Detudo]

Existe alguma hack que dá para controlar a chefe Oume?

[@rachidguilex4q]

9:26 the music theme of keith Wayne are changed !!!???

[@AlexanderMazucco]

Somebody could tell me if this game runs in Final Burn Alpha emulator?

[@Shintigercurl]

it did get home ports, for both SNES and genesis.

[@hopalongcassidy4260]

maxacorn fuck off Richie Rich

[@GoandGoandgo]

any one please give me this game link for download?

[@Hijinx1982]

I thought the same thing. I was waiting for the Neo Geo logo to appear at the beginning of the video.

[@Shintigercurl]

nope. it was in the states. hell, i saw it at blockbuster a lot. but i couldnt rent it since it was always out.

[@TheBlackStar999]

It's BOTH, man.

[@underthepale]

Wow this is a bizarre game.

[@t.c.x.s.t.x.2877]

11:24 - 12:30 flaming red/blue hot match!!!

[@sigfrieddubhealfa8501]

Padricimo juego el de Power Instinct, me gustaría que le saquen un anime, a este chingon juego.

[@hermanefendi3021]

I was playing this game on Arcade, ever beat with Thin Nen and White Buffalo. I also like to choose Reiji Oyama because he is like Robert Garcia from Art of Fighting, but never beat with him. Everybody always use to choose Thin Nen in my city from Indonesia.

[@januwicak]

Dingdong games 😁

[@bangrojai]

Botak Shaolin 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kingextreme88]

Is the announcer saying "Bite"?

[@roboticartista]

7:49 At first, I thought Annie shouted "Dodonpa" (as in Tenshinhan's attack in Dragon Ball), but I looked up her attacks and found out it's actually "Photon Burst"

[@nobodycares9579]

I am guessing the sound emulation was messed up, there was no bass track lol.

[@helli0n]

Art of Fighting gets so little respect that people can't even recognize its clones. lol... Seriously though I loved AoF.

[@SUBARUSTI-it9jv]

Out of all the character.. I love that Shaolin monk.. The easiest combo key for me

[@lotusclown77]

none of the stores near me must've had it then, cause i sure as hell would have bought it..

[@drhectorm]

Tiene muchos soniditos interesantes!!

[@lotusclown77]

shame this never got any home ports or popularity, it was actually a really cute silly fun game..

[@trillfa9774]

lotusclown77 it did it came out on the SNES and from what I hear Sega too.

[@MusicInMe754]

Actually, it did receive two console ports. One for the SNES/Super Famicom and one for the Genesis/Mega Drive, but only the SNES version made it out of Japan.

[@EUSL84]

That is! I thought i was imaginning this thin nen stage theme, because other videos have the song theme with this stupid theme music in background, but in here it is how i heard it back then, so glad i found your video, this is the version i liked.

[@stoffg.g6103]

i love the vs sound yooooooo

[@KarlSturmgewher]

What happened to some of the music tone?

[@mbakusnan695]

Kha se our kese dawanlod hogi ye game

[@KGershkoff]

0:07 LOL But seriously, good work. Are you going to do all the Power Instinct games? There's 5 of them I believe.

[@djantoninus3874]

Hello, can someone please tell me where & how I can play this game online / download on my Macbook Pro? Any ideas? I Love this game! I used to play it years ago in college but couldn't remember the name until I came across it by accident. Let me know please. Peace! :-)

[@KazeKoichi]

Let me get this straight. You fight the final boss second. WTF?

[@lukeirving7460]

KazeKoichi no there are twin old ladies in the story both sisters they got different moves

[@RocMegamanX]

Why did you use the Japanese version?

[@Baloshi_No.1]

From where I can download this game plz tell me

[@AJ15ist]

These characters should have been in Persona 4 Arena.

[@NOTHlNG]

Does anyone knows what the ninja-guy says on the map screen?

[@eloratings]

Atlus rare fighting gem !

[@williamfiuza8328]

Jogo fantástico.

[@migueruta]

Também acho! É um dos Beat'em Ups mais rápidos, senão o mais rápido de todos, nos anos 90.

[@emmanuelguerrero6463]

krillin?

[@sdlock83]

How come there's no melody to the music, just the background ambience instrumentals? Is this like an option for the arcade/ROM?

[@emmanuelguerrero6463]

is a mortal kombat scene ?

[@stefanpanmk5371]

What do you mean?

[@Fureiji88]

So wait, the granny was the final boss? How's that work?

[@Hmongboi228]

A ripoff combination of Street Fighter and Samurai Showdown. The fighting mechanics are from Street Fighter and the background is from Samurai Showdown...

[@hopalongcassidy4260]

Your beloved samurai showdown and street fighter are all ripoffs off of something else

[@NOOBFGGAMER]

@@hopalongcassidy4260 shit fighter maybe But samsho? Nope

[@isaacalvarez534]

And mortal Kombat too like the music the stage with the status and the running but was mk3 out yet?

[@Eder_Garcia]

@@isaacalvarez534 MK1 was released in 1992 i believe, so yes.

[@mauricocisnerosmoreno1224]

No esta para ps2 o XBox 360 me gustaria jugarlo de nuevo

[@thierrycashew3432]

Better than SNK Playmore!

[@damianespinosa8566]

This was a really good game. The sprites were really good, better than World Heroes, at least.

[@gr8gmr]

I say they're about on par.

[@aneesabbas61]

I need this game plz anybody has link???

[@josechavez3500]

[@hachemledarka2854]

Punk style and background is good

[@metalslayer777]

Something isn't right with parallax in this game.

素晴らしい格闘ゲーム😊

[@mauricocisnerosmoreno1224]

Este juego no esta para alguna consola actualmente

[@QUICKKZZZgaming]

Is that a Krillin from dragon ball z?

[@placidofelicio2392]

Minha infância !!!!

[@yukimaeda3294]

Wow i never see this game before😀

[@lotusclown77]

must have only been released in japan cause i damn sure never saw it..

[@lotusclown77]

well that part is rather obvious.. and i don't think they tried to hide the fact they were ripping the SF series, its basically a comedy game like Ramna 1 1/2, think of it as SF2 but without all the seriousness, if you look at it with a broad sense of humor its a really cool game. ;)

[@RonPerillo]

This game and World Heroes have the wackiest character designs. The portraits look great and some of the moves look pretty cool but gameplay-wise, it was pretty janky. Half of White Buffalo's sprite set is literally traced from Sagat's from Street Fighter. lol.

[@nicoypinoy7202]

My favorite fight is Reiji Oyama vs Thin Nen.

[@ElMeu]

JAJAJAJAJAJAAJAJa The old woman is amazing, is like 2 characters in 1, and it´s interesting that is a version of Zngrief in girl

[@bl00derly]

wow, the old lady has many teeth to shoot it so much...
