It is part of the Flying Dragon series. The series also appears on other systems with Flying Dragon: The Secret Scroll (NES). Natsume also made Wild Guns, Pocky & Rocky and Pocky & Rocky 2 for the SNES.

Pick it if…

  • you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
  • you have a friend to play against
  • you've played the SNES hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you prefer story-driven games or have no one to play against

What playing Ultimate Fighter is like

Fighting games pit two characters against each other in short one-on-one bouts. Depth comes from learning special moves, combos and each character's strengths.

Tip for newcomers: Pick one character and learn their basic special moves before branching out. Fighting games are at their best against a friend at a similar skill level.
