Akatsuki Blitzkampf Ausf. Achse is an INSANELY Weird Fighting Game

Akatsuki Blitzkampf Ausf. Achse is what happens when the doujin community gets together and makes their own 2D arcade fighting game! One part Street Fighter, one part Garou: Mark of the Wolves, One Part Power Instinct Matrimelee...and all parts very strange retro gaming style! It's one hell of a 2D fighting game and one of the weirder retro games experiences you can have on Sega NAOMI! Classic arcade games time

It's been almost three years since I looked at the Sega NAOMI which is just wild...but its going to be a VERY Sega retro games 2024 here on the channel! Because for as much of a retro gaming champ the Dreamcast was...the Sega NAOMI was just as good and in many ways better! I mean it is Sega arcade based after all!
Just don't expect Daytona USA, Scud Race or Sega Rally...as that already happened back in 2023! Check the playlists!
But the Sega NAOMI series of arcade boards are filled to the bring with some of the best arcade games of all time...as well as some Sega Hidden Gems!

and the best part is you can use the Flycast emulator to play the arcade original if you don't have an original arcade PCB! Video game emulation for the win!
or you can do it via Sega Dreamcast emulation. I have a Dreamcast emulator tutorial here: • Dreamcast on Steam Dec...

My favorite fighting game! This was a port of a doujin PC game by Subtle Style, and this got a sequel on the NESICAxLive called En-Eins Perfektewelt, and some of the characters would end up in the Blazblue and Under Night IN-BIRTH series games. Also one of the stage themes (Transmigration) is my favorite fighting game stage music

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

I’ll do a vid on the NESICA version one of these days

[@Ragesauce]

FIRST!

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

First to the party

[@TheAbsinthomane]

❤ i love how you pronounce "Blitzkampf". You're not that far off, so no shame for that. greetings from Munich

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

I did my best :)

[@bedwablackburn]

I had forgotten this one till I saw the tank

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

You can’t forget the tank

[@raymovizion]

The sprite work in this game is top tier.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

It’s solid animation and concepting for sure

[@BlackMageLozi]

It became a little more popular in recent years because of the characters that come out of it and are on UNI and BBtag.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Glad it’s getting more traction these days

[@Vulto166]

It has a mugen vibe but. Don't get me wrong i love well made mugens. I def need to play this game.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

100% need to play it

[@wilsonicsnet]

This is a great game. Must play.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Absolutely a must play

[@vmguedes]

You're playing it on an emulator?

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Yes

[@nahuel5532]

I was playing this last weekend. I also rocked the crazy nun gunner 😎

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Nun gunner 🤣

[@lucasraphael6236]

Definetly one of my favorite doujin games ever made. The arcade version is better polished, however (plus you can finally play as Perfecti)

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

It’s surprisingly competent for a doujin game that came to NAOMI

[@ynotwalk7391]

@@VideoGameEsoterica what other retro fighting games have sweet 480p pixel art

[@phoenixmixgaming4625]

A interesting game

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Interesting and weird. My fav kind

[@nathanddrews]

Something about that rainy city background reminds me of so many similar impressionist paintings. That's a nice looking level.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

It’s got some good stages for sure

[@Clos93]

For anyone interested, you can play this online, along with every CPS2, CPS3, Neo Geo, Naomi, and Atomiswave game with software called fightcade. Be warned, there's almost no casual players there. Get ready for some ass whoopins... 😅

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Haha yes fightcade is just filled with dedicated players

[@Charlie-Cat.]

Hmmm. Unfamiliar with this game VGE. Sorry if I don't have much to say about this edition of your video. But it does look cool though bro. 8^) Anthony..

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Def play it

[@DehnusNorder]

I had never heard of it, but the tank gives me the creeps in all the right ways :P. I need to look up the story now :P.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

The tank is def horror vibey

[@robbyrobot3303]

Last year I lucked out and got an official cart with artwork ordering a copy of this from a Chinese seller on eBay. It's a great game from the Naomi's final stretch. unfortunately a lot of those final cart games are being cannibalized and converted to other games because they have different ICs that allow it to be done easier

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Yes sadly they are getting converted left and right which is a bummer

[@akatsukione2377]

Round Start Chesto

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

😂

[@MagmaMKII]

So, the gist of the plot is that there's a superweapon from imperial Japan, Akatsuki protects it and a bunch of terrorists want it. Also some crazy spirit that possesses the blonde girl (in the sequel it possesses the nun).

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Haha good to know. I figured there was a story in there somewhere

[@rockhyde7775]

This game is in bad need of a Steam release. I would totally wishlist it and buy it right away when it comes out. I’ve been begging for Anastasis to be put on Steam since last year. I hope the devs hear our prayers.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

It would be nice to have a modern PC port with netplay

[@Nbakillagorilla]

Very much so. I think it’s one of the prettiest games on the system.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

It’s got a very distinct visual language that’s held up super well

[@zexalsrevenge511]

Is it possible for you to do a video about TeknoParrot on the Steam Deck?

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

At some point yes

[@Undar8ed03]

I run this game in my cab with an arcade monitor on a pc

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Fun way to play

[@ynotwalk7391]

marilyn is top tier game babe

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

They knew what they were doing when they were designing her

[@beingsupersonic7499]

Not only are the guns a giveaway but that’s no nun, those boots are far too sexy😂Never played, but must. Looks mad🤘🏻

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Don’t nuns look like that where you live? 🤣

[@beingsupersonic7499]

@@VideoGameEsoterica lol unfortunately not. Maybe in Japan?!

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

You never know 🤣

[@METR0lD]

lol, I love that Blitztank actually made a return in BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle! They knew what the fans demand!

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

We demand tanks!

[@METR0lD]

Tanks for giving in to our demands!

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

We give our tanks

[@METR0lD]

I like where this is going.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

It’s going anywhere it wants. Jokes on tracks

[@PopeTheRevXXVIII]

Another reason I hate Recast is no longer in Retroarch I loved playing this. This game+ a good stick is a fun time

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

It’s def fun and wildly over the top in a good way

[@PopeTheRevXXVIII]

Would love another entry that gets a little Mainstream attention some of these characters are in BlazBlue x tag and Under Night

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Def wouldn’t complain about another entry either

[@Idelacio]

Nuns in high heels and corsets? Well I'm sold. The artists definately had an appreciation for heels. XD

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Haha it’s obv what they were into

[@Nbakillagorilla]

Played it

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

But did you enjoy it?

[@nicci_dee8292]

Where you diggin out this game :D But grafix are looking really good !!!

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Haha the deep cut part of my brain

[@NLSagat]

Naomi (so this) and atomiswave mostly work on the good old dreamcast too right? (especially interested as i believe i have all the parts to put on ODE in mine now :D )

[@robbyrobot3303]

Atomisware is essentially a Dreamcast, and you can play most AW games on DC. The Dreamcast is a step down from the Naomi though, and it can't play Naomi software.

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

No. NAOMI must be ported home vs Atomiswave which is basically 1:1

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

Exactly

[@NLSagat]

@@VideoGameEsoterica I think i got confused due to a DC emulator having support for both naomi and AW games :S

[@VideoGameEsoterica]

They get muddied in peoples heads that way for sure
