The Last Blade 2 - Heart of the Samurai (Dreamcast) (US)
On the 25th of November in 1998 "The Last Blade 2 - Heart of the Samurai" was released in Japanese arcades with the grandiose title "Bakumatsu Rouman Dainimaku: Gekka no Kenshi - Tsuki ni Saku Hana, Chiri Yuku Hana". The game was developed and published by SNK.
The following year "The Last Blade 2" saw a home console release on Neo Geo and Neo Geo CD. The Neo Geo CD version includes an extra mode, voiced cutscenes, and a gallery section. Most of these features were included in the Dreamcast port that was released in December of 2000 and August of 2001 in North America. "The Last Blade 2" never saw a release in the EU.
For almost 12 years Dreamcast was the only console to see a port of "The Last Blade 2" (not counting the Neo Geo Pocket Color conversion "The Last Blade - Beyond the Destiny") until it was ported to Wii Virtual Console. Yet another 4 years later it was ported and released to PS4 and PS Vita. At the time of writing, you can still buy the game on PSN.
"The Last Blade 2" recreates 1864 Japan in all its feudal glory. Players are pitched into 1-on-1 matches against 16 characters (and four hidden ones) in a quest to bring honor to their master's clan. Each character wields a unique weapon and has a set of equal unique attacks.
All characters can also be tweaked (a little bit) to better fit your playing style. You can choose either POWER that will make you stronger. SPEED makes movement more quick and technical and EX is a combination of the previous two.
"The Last Blade 2" is a true product of SNK 90s with unique characters, beautiful graphics and kind of deep gameplay - both control and story. While we are really bad at fighting games and find it hard to enjoy getting our butts handed to us over and over - We have seen more than a few reviewers and fighting-game-lovers pick this game as a hidden gem.
So if you are into fighting games, you might want to give this one a chance.

    It seems to me, the problem with this game isn't as much the actual controls of the vehicle as it's the layout of the tracks. You can't really get into a "rhythm" with this one, so few straights and too many 90 degrees (or above) turns. It seems this game has been remade/copied, by a Chinese games developer for arcades in China, Vietnam and Thailand.

He was good looking and all the girls liked him since we were teens. He had more personality and was more outgoing than me. I remember he told me "If you cut your hair all the girls owuld like you" haha. RIP Nick.

      Modern Displays give this weird impression, as they are quite different in technology. On TVs and Monitors of that era, for which the DC was designed, games looked and ran fantastic. I also used a VGA Dreamcast adapter back then, it was unbelievable expensive, but the image on a CRT was quite impressive.
