Yu Yu Hakusho Makyou Touitsusen review - Segadrunk

[@MegaDriveProfile]

The director of this game went on to make Guardian Heroes so the ability to change planes makes so much sense. Even the fighting system was used as a canvas. Thanks for making this video SNES drunk, more people should know about it.

[@pittsburghboyertown3821]

This is why I love this channel. I'm a huge Guardian Heroes fan amd had no idea this existed.

[@only257]

[@richardfan7157]

And also two of the Bleach games on DS

[@samfrito]

Honestly, this game is an occult revelation. How did they make a 4 player fighter this fast and deep on a cartridge on Sega Mega Drive without witchcraft?

[@MrVariant]

0:32 4 player back in the day, nice lol virtua fighter 2 on genesis is so bastardized compared to saturn and this does so much better lol layering like guardian heroes too

[@PsychomachineryEBM]

Because of Treasure, a badass development team

[@daboolaj]

This game was so special during that Era. Having all your buddies over to play for hours was the best.

[@Gatorade69]

@@daboolaj VISUALSHOCK! SPEEDSHOCK! SOUNDSHOCK! NOW IS THE TIME TO THE 68000 HEART ON FIRE! Seriously the Motorola 6800 processor in the Genesis is more powerful than people give it credit for and a skilled developer like Treasure were able to absolutely push it to It's limits.

[@michaelromeo9567]

Treasure said that Games like Alien Soldier , or Yuyu Hakusho were impossible on SNES 🤷‍♀ Old asss 1988 Megadrive processor destroys SNES procssor(even if it is more recent ) Motorola 68 000 was a beast from the arcade hardware. SEGA managed to lower its price by ten.. That's the secret wizzardry. 😉😉

[@starlightwitch12]

The Yu Yu Hakusho anime series is my childhood, and it was popular in my country back in the 90s (under the name Ghost Fighter). Also this game also later inspired the gameplay of Guardian Heroes and Bleach DS.

[@zackschilling4376]

Which Bleach DS game? I thnk there was 3 released here in NA. - Blade of Fate (I think this one is a fighter while the others are Strategy/RPGs - DArk Souls - 3rd Phantom

[@starlightwitch12]

Bleach DS 2nd: Dark Souls (aka Kokui Hirameku Requiem)

[@thCianci]

Hi, Snesdrunk! As a brazilian, I can confirm that the text WAS CHANGED to a badly translated portuguese. It was enough to understand everything, just not very professional. Sega had a good relationship with its brazilian publisher Tectoy (for whatever reason) and YuYu Hakusho (the anime) was a big deal here, so for some miracle we got the game

[@starphaser]

YuYu Hakusho was a really, really big deal in Brazil. It was one of the most popular animes in the late 90's, perhaps the most popular one after the tremendous success of Saint Seiya (also known as Knights Of The Zodiac).

[@xtokumaru]

I own the Brazilian cartridge and the translation is indeed very bad, but it's there. It's also a very bad hacking job, where they butchered the characters' names to fit in the same tiles as the original names (i.e. "Urameshi" became "Urai"). The game also randomly switches between Portuguese and Japanese as you play. It's an incredibly poor translation job.

[@brunomoraes9967]

Wow! I'm Brazilian and had no idea that my country was the only one other than Japan to receive this game. Makes a lot of sense, because the anime was pretty huge here in the 90s and Tec Toy, the official Sega representative is really aware of the particularities of Brazilian culture, and was really focused on what the youth wanted at the time. They're still active, though their demographics have changed to serve older people nostalgic for their Master System and Genesis games. They also sell Sonic and Knuckles hoodies, which are amazing.

[@themilkman6669]

My friend and I found this game on his Everdrive cart with the English patch and we were blown away by just how fun it was with 3 players.

What trickery did Treasure use on the Genesis to do the things they made that console do?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Of course there's no slow down, *Blast Processing!*

[@christopherknott4602]

Now say the same thing while you're balls deep. lol xD

[@jmbenetti]

Dr retro has a great article on Blast Processing. It has nothing to do with speed and it wasn't ever used on a real game. It's just direct access to video memory to show an image on hi-color mode, but you lock the cpu BLASTING per pixel color information, so the cpu is locked painting the screen and you have no room left for game logic. Then, nope, this isn't Blast Processing.

[@StaticTV80]

interestingly Bleach for the DS plays almost exactly like YuYu Hakusho, and also made by Treasure. Different anime but in a way a spiritual sequel in terms of gameplay. It also revealed the bankai of many characters before it even appeared in the manga and anime!

[@retrosoul8770]

It can't be stressed enough that Treasure is one of most talented dev teams oat. Their legendary run on the Gen/Megadrive alone, is enough for me to make that claim. Not alone Mischief Makers, Radiant S, Ikaruga, Gradius V, Sin and Punishment etc and anything else they've made. I need to play this alot more.

[@VorpalDerringer]

Were there any other 3+ player fighting games on consoles before Smash Brothers? This is pretty crazy, I never would have expected that. That's pretty impressive, and it's also easy to play, good music, great animations, etc. too! I guess it's true, Sega Does what Nintendon't!

Yu Yu Hakusho Final for SNES is also a great fighting game, but the slow down really stress me out. If there was a way to fix this problem the game would be even better.

[@MrSuckeragi]

had hours of fun with this game, 4 player brawl is awesome. I even spent hours practicing the best combos for each character. My favorite was the flying hands guy who could heal himself, since you could watch your friends kill each other while healing yourself in the background... they soon caught on to my evil plans, but the character has a very good set of keep away moves too. Eugene (the mc) is easily the most overpowered as he can combo his "super" with a basic throw which will 100% result in a "stunned" state he also has one of the longest combo chains - meaning 1 grab from him could result in GAME OVER for the victim, so 1v1 he is very tough to beat. I use Vincent in 1v1 as his moves involve a 50/50 game after you knock down an opponent, pretty fair and fun to use.
