Yu Yu Hakusho : Makyou Toitusen (Genesis/Mega Drive)

We’ve all seen the shitfest that is Yu Yu Hakusho: Dark Tournament, and as a YYH fan, I was sorely disappointed.

However, this rare gem made by Treasure, is a wonderful and solid game.

Excellent cast of characters, Simple enough for the casual gamer to pick up and play, pretty graphics, Air-Combos that predate the marvel series, intricate combo system. multi-plane combat, this is definatley one of my favorites

Has anyone else played this game?

I think the better question is, who hasn’t?

It basically is not only a great game, but it’s pretty much the grand-daddy to other Treasure efforts, such as Guardian Heroes (Sat), as well as the Bleach DS games.

Always made me wonder why Treasure hasn’t done more to jump into the fighting game ring when they had the opportunity present to them for years on end, and pretty much everyone loves their stuff. But that’s another question for probably another topic.

true that Treasure could do fighter if they wanted.

if you like this game, then check out guardian heroes on saturn. its based on the same engine, but has like 3 planes instead of 2 and the characters there have more depth overall.

This is one of my all time favorite fighting games, its just too good.

Genkai for the win, airthrow infinites are too gdlk.

Yu Yu Hakusho: Tokubetsuhen is a better game IMO.

Heh! Mada mada da ne!

Haha, I used to rock that shit on emu all the time… I could never beat Toguro tho. lol.

I’ve actually never even seen the game in the OP, despite being a big YYH fan… Jin air throw combos look pretty wild… I take it Toguro is kinda like Sentinel, in that his hit large hit box makes for some crazy infinites.

Treasure needs to port this game to the DS already

They probably no longer have the license.
It’d be hella rad if Treasure makes their own new franchise. YYH:MT was the shit.
