Melty Blood: Act Cadenza (MBAC) represents the third major revision in the series, the first two being the original Melt more »y Blood (released as a PC game) and Melty Blood ReACT (released as an expansion to the original game). There was also a third major revision to Melty Blood (called Melty Blood: Final Tuned) that was released in parallel with Act Cadenza, with most of the changes being pulled from the work French Bread did for the arcade version.While generally considered by players to be a relatively meodicre fighting game, the game has been taken fairly well in Japan.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (Dreamcast)

Just when it seems 3-D fighting games have permanently made 2-D fighting games obsolete, something like Marvel vs. Capc more »om 2 comes along and proves just how deep and fun 2-D fighters can be. It's better than its predecessor in every way, and arguably the best 2-D fighting game to grace the Dreamcast. The amount of playable characters is enough to put any fighting fan's salivary glands in overdrive. Beginning with favorites such as Spider Man, Wolverine, Ryu, and Chun Li, players can eventually unlock 56 characters. We had our hands full just mastering a few of these fighters, and getting familiar with all 56 would take months of intense practice. There are almost too many moves, all depicted with superb animation and augmented by several tag-team combos. When the match begins, you can pick three characters. Once things heat up, you can call in your pals to unleash a massive move on your opponent. This adds immensely to the game's depth, and button mashers will be in for a shock when they find that their mistimed tag-team moves backfire. Visually, this game is intense. The large characters are slightly jagged around the edges, but that's more than compensated for by the massive amount of animation frames, colorful special effects, and stunning 3-D backgrounds that are loaded with detail. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 also delivers a sonic performance that is nearly arcade-perfect. This is a must-buy for any fighting fan, especially those who have a couple of buddies to bash. Just be prepared to put in a lot of time in practice mode if you want to get good. --T. Byrl Baker Pros: Brilliant 3-D backgrounds A massive number of characters to play as Tag-team element adds a fun strategic component to the gameplay Cons: Characters were drawn at low resolution « less

Super Mario Bros (GBA)

The 2D platformer, designed by Nintendo's legendary figurehead Shigeru Miyamoto, still remains in our minds the most int more »uitive and addictive entry in the genre. The title stars "Jump Man" himself, Mario, along with his brother Luigi, and takes players through more than 30 colorful levels of varied theme and design, all of them packed with cute, stylized enemies like the goombas and a wide array of platforms and obstacles. Super Mario Bros. is the first major showpiece for Nintendo's heightened quality of gaming: full of depth, layered with tight control and remarkably clever level creation that spills with secrets and extras! « less

Nintendo has ported their hit fighting game, KILLER INSTINCT GOLD, to the Nintendo 64. The game combines the features an more »d characters of KILLER INSTINCT 2 with the power of the N64 to create a whole new fighting experience.
