Hey what’s that rabbit game like i’m thinking about getting it for my saturn to add to my collection of saturn fighters it looks nice and does it have my fave mode practice mode, what kinda of combo system does it have?
Pretty weak it runs in MAME if you want to test it out, It seems okay the Zangief grappling inpired Cross dresser is HEElarious, as an average fighting game I would give it 6.2/10 IIRC, haven’t played it in a while.
Nothing wrong with gameplay and the games AI isn’t cheap, but I don’t think the engine would be that deep or have any advanced features. It’s like a SFA/SF2 hybrid… weaksauce-ed
Better than Asura Blade maybe… worse than SFA2
We’re Baaaaaaaaack!

Matrimelee was the latest installment in the Gouketsuji Ichizoku [The Gouketsuji Clan] fighting game series (known as “Power Instinct” in the U.S.). Matrimelee was produced for the NEO-GEO by Noise Factory, who licensed the series and the characters from Atlus (the series’ creator, and producer of the previous installments).

The tournaments represented by the first few games in the series is a tradition of the ludicrously-wealthy (and ludicrously-prolific) Gouketsuji clan, the winner of the tournament being named the new clan leader (until the next tournament).
GROOVE ON FIGHT is set about 20 years after the stories found in GI, GI2, & GGSD. A number of the GOF characters are the offspring of some of the cast members of the first 3 installments.
Princess Kurara Daisakusen was a vividly-colorful, infectiously-cute isometric platformer that is linked to the Gouketsuji series via its title character, Hananokouji Kurara – the magical-girl character who first appeared in GI2 (misspelled as “Clara” in Noise Factory’s “Matrimelee”). The 2 other playable characters were Kirara and Grey, an overly handsome man who spent most of his time as a 7’ tall overstuffed cat creature. Produced by Atlus, the shortened version of the title (Purikura Daisakusen) was a reference to Atlus’ popular line of sticker machines, called “Print Club” – or “purikura” for short.
Matrimelee utilized a few characters from GI2, and the entire cast of GI (with the exception of Angela Belti), plus a few new characters. The Matrimelee story appears to take place around (or slightly after) the time period of the first 3 installments.
Shin Gouketsuji Ichizoku ~Bon’nou Kaihou~ went on sale in Japan on 5/25/2006 (delayed from its original release date of 2/23/2006) and is a KDDI-online-capable PS2 upgrade/port of Matrimelee. In addition to bringing back Angela Belti (the only GI cast member left out of Matrimelee), Bon’nou Kaihou also saw the return of the transformation gimmick from GI and GI2 (some of the characters in these earlier installments had a second form they could switch to during a fight), which was absent from Matrimelee. Click on Kurara, Oume, Otane, Kanji, and Kintaro (Pochi’s “base form” in GI2) on this page to see illustrations of the 2 forms each of these characters possess. This game also features a bonus character based on Bobby Ologun, who was tapped as celebrity rep for the game (he appeared as part of the game’s announcement at the Tokyo Game Show). Here’s some background info for those not familiar with Bobby, as well as his official blog (with more photos of his TGS appearance), and the unofficial blog site.
~Chotto dake saikyou densetsu~ (the Japanese PS port) is something of a hybridization of GI2 and GGSD, with a few extras thrown in. The only problem I ever had with the PS port was the mandatory pause-&-load whenever one of the characters with a transformation ability switched from their one of their forms to another (not unlike the pause-&-load on console ports of MKII & MKIII (iirc) whenever Shang Tsung morphed into another character).
If you are able to obtain the Japanese Saturn release of GROOVE ON FIGHT, a Saturn (Japanese or modded U.S.) console, a Saturn multitap and 4 Saturn pads, I highly recommend the purchase: GROOVE ON FIGHT is a fun game in 2-player mode, but the 4-player mode is an absolute blast.

Haha, I think I saw this game on the mame cabinet at my arcade. I’ll give it a try.
Took a look at that K-road game. Looks like it might have some old-school potential, it’s a bit better then Art of Fighting at least (giving it faint praise there, I know)…
Looks like a weird offshoot SF2 clone, if SF2 was styled like Buriki One.
I played BKR for a little while, and it’s a cross between Karate Champ with being able to knock your opponent down with one hit and SF2 for the special moves aspect. It’s an interesting idea for a fighter…
Plus if you make it to the last boss? :xeye: If you’ve ever wondered what it be like fighting a Grizzly… 
anyone know if any of the emu’s on the xbox will run martial masters? my friend has no PC (fried it) and he wants to play. thx for any info. I’ve tried digging but found nothing.
From what it sounds like, Martial Masters is not fully translated for mame, as I’ve heard people saying that there’s a few glitches in there?..
I thought you had a PGM and Cart for it anyway?
I actually bought a mini Neo-Geo style arcade stick for my S-Nova setup. :tup:
Good stuff. I’ve never been able to figure out how to play an Emu’d game- maybe that’s in a topic somewhere? (I want to play Guardians of the Hood!)
The screenshots and vids are cool, though.
Survival Arts is another one I’d play if I could figure out how to do so: http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=S&game_id=9983
Mongo with a Cable-like gun & grenades blowing up unarmed girls is a little much.
Wait a minute- Mongo- Anyone ever see Blazing Saddles? :razzy:
This guide is more geared towards Mame and Kaillera, but it will get you started:

Survival Arts does work in that version, but Guardians of the Hood is going to need at least Mame v 90.
Whew (wish they’d just be released officially)
I’ll try to it, though. (Hope the computer won’t be destroyed by viruses)
Thanks-
Noooooo! Don’t play play Guardians of the Hood it’s awful like pitfighter bad maybe worse 
Rather play Robo Schmeizer for some SF2 type goodness.
Here’s some more pictures of the Astec21 fighter that never got a released, Warlocks of the Fates: http://www.neogeoforlife.com/prototype/wotf.php
Why must you tease me with games that never got released?
I’m not sure if the it was the finished or not? I’ve read pages that say it was, and that someone has the prototype, but no one has shown any proof of this. :annoy:
I tried doing a search on Astec21 to see if they made any other games, but all the web pages I found all turned up Error! And all the other sites I’ve found showed that WotF was pretty much MVS only?.
that ninja showtime game looks much more impressive imo
i played this game way back at my local arcade who had it for like a week and i could never remember the name of it thank u very much
I downloaded the 32K.64, but don’t see the arcade cabinet icon shown in pic 1 by FatherB, or a way to get into options. I’m stuck very early on- but I’m not a high-end programmer. Did anyone else run into this?
This may be the toughest task I’ve ever tried on a computer, but I’ll keep trying with help-
Sounds like because you haven’t unzipped the folder. Once you do that and open the unzipped folder, you’ll be able to see the icon. Click on it in order to open the program. Once you do that you can click on “Options” for the options.
Everything in FB’s faq is straight forward, so hopefully you won’t have anymore problems.
