Both are playable but it's the SEGA 32X version that shines from the fourth console generation. The 16-bit consoles suffer the most with the SNES game reducing the fighters from 8 to 6 while the Mega Drive / Genesis port plays a little choppily. There's enough content here that will satisfy more than just fans.Ĭoming out in 1995, the game received a multitude of ports, most of which played pretty well and do so to this day. It makes a comparatively slow-moving faux sport frenetic and fun for your average gamer.
