Arcade Longplay [368] Power Instinct

[@faciated5355]

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.

[@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

[@JustinJTime]

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

[@limeninelemonfour6957]

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

[@choozu]

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

[@adrianv2981]

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

[@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

[@califaern3sto]

i loved this game so much still do

[@TheBlackStar999]

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

[@DasNordlicht91]

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

[@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.😲

[@l0stndamned]

That Angela looked seriously cool

[@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.

[@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"...😅

[@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.

[@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

[@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

Hace rato buscaba este gran juego

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

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

[@araisannanoda3688]

dude,this game is really hilarious lol

[@neat3468]

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

[@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"...😅

[@giddue]

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

[@glbfromjustgian3882]

giovanni scarfini ✌

[@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.

[@helli0n]

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

[@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.

[@carlasilva5066]

Sensacional 👍😉🏆🏅🎖👏👏👏

[@wiggychiggy]

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

[@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 😁

[@bangrojai4868]

Botak Shaolin 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@greatrey]

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

[@seerealcrime]

Brings back memories... thank you!

[@raziel3323]

Lots of funny japanese noises. Can't take this game too serious. X_x

[@TheBlackStar999]

It's BOTH, man.

[@underthepale]

Wow this is a bizarre game.

[@cesaravilazzi4439]

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]

i felt that

[@oscarcortez2449]

Tatanka tatanka riiiiii

[@oscarcortez2449]

Tatanka is buffle

[@ohteacup]

oscar, loooooool

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

I like the red/blue flames!!!

[@Hijinx1982]

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

[@joeberryman3563]

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

[@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"...😅

[@ilhamsbp-oki6433]

My favorite character buffalo..

[@SUBARUSTI-it9jv]

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

[@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

[@sigfrieddubhealfa8501]

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

[@crazy_buffalo_balrog_02]

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

[@nayyarrashid4661]

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

[@lotusclown77]

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

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

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

[@maxacorn]

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

[@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.

[@thierrycashew3432]

Better than SNK Playmore!

[@AJ15ist]

These characters should have been in Persona 4 Arena.

[@maxacorn]

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

[@hopalongcassidy4260]

maxacorn fuck off Richie Rich

[@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.

[@roboticartista765]

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"

[@kingextreme88]

Is the announcer saying "Bite"?

[@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. ;)

[@nathanalexandre9043]

I enjoyed playing this rip off I have no complaints :)

Nathan Alexandre street fighter or whatever you think this is a ripoff of were all ripoffs of something else's

16:22 Krillin cameo lol

[@yukimaeda3294]

Wow i never see this game before😀

[@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.

[@fatesfrozenflame]

It's funny how many animations are just straight out of Street Fighter 2.

[@BMan100]

NW330 well for the first player I would say a mix of Ryo and Robert from Art of Fighting actually

[@thierrycashew3432]

This game is an SFII parody.

Thierry Cashew street fighter is a RIP off of other games too.

[@metalslayer777]

Something isn't right with parallax in this game.

[@emmanuelguerrero6463]

krillin?

[@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.
