great game,i have the 360 versions(ntsc-u) of this and king of fighters xii(12),but yeah this game is fun but i think the characters could have been maybe slightly better,the art style,the fast paced gameplay and story are all great its just the some of the characters are very odd pulling off,all in all if your a game collector(like me) i would suggest getting this and any other of the "taito type x" ports that are coming to console/=
@Glitcher2000 Read them, found them faulty, but still just because a magazine and another site use it doesn't change the fact that the rest of the gamer comunity uses the term to describe the scrolling game genere while fighting games is what defines things like the one in the video.
@Shadoboy Hoo-boy, I'm not restarting a protracted year-old argument at three in the morning. Just read all my replies to OhGodNo666 and leave it at that. I'm going to bed.
@Shadoboy You seem to be confusing a typo with an alternate term. The term beat-em-all was used repeatedly in the magazine, so it's not a spelling mistake.
@Glitcher2000 It doesn't make them retarded, it makes them wrong. The term beat 'em up is defined as a game where you fight across a level while fighting a lot of of underpowered mooks until the level boss, while a fighting game is one that focuses in one-on-one matches.
I once saw a magazine calling Ubi Soft "Libi Softi". Does that mean that's now an acceptable name for the company?
Yep, I agree. I just wanted to share how I thought they could be confused between the classifications. People often take in things literally, that's how misunderstanding happens. It isn't too much of a big deal though. Everyone has had that problem at some point in their lives.
@PurpleDolphiN42 It's not about the "term" it's about the "genre".
If you take the term "fighting game" literally, then even RPGs and shooters would count, since you do lots of "fighting" in those.
But when it comes to the actual "genre" then "fighting game/fighter" and "beat-em-up" (or "scrolling beat-em-up" as it was originally called) are two different things
arguing on internet?

I can see why this game was overlooked.
