Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble

This obscure fighting series comes to the US for the first time, features Japanese high-schoolers beating the crap out of each other, and apparently will be badass.

WWE SmackDown vs Raw 2010

23/10/2009

The slobberknocker returns for another mat classic. But what new can we expect from the king of the ring? For now we can only dream.

Fate/Unlimited Codes

A port of a Japan-only PS2 game, this fighting game is built around getting the Holy Grail. It has 17 characters and will be available for download and at retail stores.

Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny

4/09/2009

Though lighter on features and in tone, this handheld version of the fighting master has come out nearly as great in the transition.

Samurai Shodown Anthology

If you've never played any of the Samurai Shodown games or if you're just feeling nostalgic, here's your chance to experience all six games on one UMD.

Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus

Another entry and slight improvement of the current king of hand drawn fighters.

Dragonball: Evolution

Feel like Dragon Ball Z games would've been better with simple 2D fighting, high school drama, and silly images of real actors? You're in luck.

The King of Fighters Collection: The Orochi Saga

Despite that it compiles King of Fighters '94-'98, the game suffers from poor controls and screen issues.

NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2: The Phantom Fortress

Another Naruto fighting game for PSP! Why? Because you (and the shareholders) apparently demanded it!

Legend of the Dragon

18/05/2007

A fairly incompetent fighting game based on a property few people seem to care about. Play at your own risk.

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes

If you like your fighting games full of licensed anime characters bashing one another's 3D ninja teeth in, look no further than this.

Tekken 6

11/12/2009

Tekken 6 isn’t trying to masquerade behind a mask. This is Tekken, and it’s for the Tekken fans. Namco Bandai has put a console fighting game on a handheld, and it’s every bit as good. If only the devs could have snuck in an online infrastructure fighting mode. If only.

Dragon Ball Z Shin Budokai 2: Another Road

25/05/2007

An over-the-shoulder fighter that brings together 24 combatants from the Dragon Ball sagas for a new, "what-if" alternate-future story.

Godzilla: Unleashed

The original huge-nasty monster is back, ready to lay buildings and foes low in his quest to... umm, break stuff?

The Con

18/10/2005

A crooked-man's Punch Out!, The Con reminds us all to bet with our heads.

Mortal Kombat: Unchained

16/11/2006

Finish him, you screaming maniac.

Guilty Gear Judgment

5/09/2006

Hot-looking, awesome-playing slashfest that packs in a full-on brawler with its one-on-one fighting.

Rengoku II: The Stairway to H.E.A.V.E.N

A terrible sequel to a terrible game, this robo-combat / dank dungeon simulation should never have been released. H.E.A.V.E.N. can wait.

Def Jam Fight For NY The Takeover

In spite of the long load times and dumb-ass dialogue, this is one of the deepest, slickest, most balls-out violent handheld fighters ever made.

Power Stone Collection

Despite remaining relatively faithful to the Dreamcast originals, the limitations of the PSP take a heavy toll on this port.
