- We're reviewing every Neo Geo game, and this time it's Sengoku, 1991 from SNK. Let's also check out the Sega Mega CD and SNES ports and see how they stack up!

Beautiful series! Keep it up!
This game blew me away back in '91. I used to go to a video game store that had the Neo Geo AES and SNES inside arcade cabinets next to each other and played both Sengoku and Final Fight there when they were new. It was clear that the Neo Geo AES was the more powerful system because Sengoku had so many large sprites on screen at once without slowdown, scaling effects, speech samples and a two player co-op mode that was missing on the SNES port of Final Fight. Great memories!
Yeah that was pretty relaxed. I'd like to see more of that.
Love this long reviewsssssssss! great work man!
Thank you sir for keeping series going, I find your narration very enjoyable and informative, we’re excited for more. Burning fight is one of my favourite scrolling beat em ups, people just don’t know or can’t get past the dodgy sound effects
Sengoku was the reason I needed a Neo Geo in the eraly nineties! I was blown away when I first saw the game in the Arcade in Italy. The Japanese sounds and dialogs, the scenes in the ghost world..... Incredible. I still love to play It, it pure nostalgia 😀🖖
9:54 you have earned my chuckle.
My brother and I spent many-a-token on the first Sengoku. We loved it, and it may have been the very first NeoGeo game we played on our arcade's "new" red cabinet. I think it was also paired with King of the Monsters and Crossed Swords...I don't remember what the 4th game was (it was a four slot MVS). But I know we played Sengoku first before the other games, as we were avid Double Dragon, Final Fight, and TMNT fans and wanted another beat-em up to try out at the dawn of the 90s. Great memories. I have a MVS cabinet in my basement and still need to get this cart sometime!
That mario paint cut got me chuckling
Keep up the great work, these are important
Once again a stellar job reviewing! I find your videos informative and entertaining.
The double and large sword probably does more damage per swing than the single sword but that's about it. One feature the game has is when you're up against a samurai enemy, with a sword in hand if both side attack at the same time, you'll lock swords and can do a tug-o-war style push contest. You can tap the attack button to push harder, until you realize that it's ultimately a futile exercise as the enemy will suddenly sucker punch you, landing a free hit. Another interesting aspect is that if you're fighting said samurai unarmed, you'll be able to break their sword, forcing them to fight unarmed too. Unfortunately, this has the side effect of making the samurai attack far too quickly with erratic movements, so once again a futile thing to do
One thing the super famicom version did was it eliminated the invincibility frame of the enemies when struck, this way the player can land an entire attack combo like in most beat-em-ups instead of the arcade version where each hit is followed by a few brief invincibility frames to prevent them from taking multiple hits
It's back again. Great episode. Wish I could afford the aes cart but alas.
The Sengoku SNES box art can only hurt you if you let it.
Almost to one of my favorites - NGH19 - League Bowling. One of the most fun games with the least to say about it. I'm curious to see how you tackle it :)
5:02 Mario and Luigi also fought turtles in the sewers of New York in the original (pre-Super) Mario Bros.
One of the best two player experiences
The little time I have played Sengoku was enjoyable. The action is snappy and the change of characters and weapons keep the game varied. More fun than the majority of the brawlers!
Looking forward to your Sengoku 2 video, but I think we'll all be old and grey by the time you reach Sengoku 3 x)
I remember everybody crapping all over the neo CD back in the day because of the load of times, but a bunch of these early games are basically one and done loads at the beginning and not nearly as bad as I thought.
I played Sengoku 3 first, naturally I was spoiled rotten by it and couldn't quite go back to the original after that...
Great as always, looking forward to the next one. Since I own a NeoCD but have many gaps in my collection I've always consider picking up titles in order to follow along with your series.
@@BasementBrothers Yeah, I'm generally ok with that (except the few like the Metal Slugs which are super high), the bigger issue would be the time delay in sourcing the game for a fair price off yahoo jp and it being shipped back to me. =/
This game gets a bad rap, but I did a full-playthrough on stream back in October, and the worst of it is the stages are a bit too long.
I know! I got some plans for the future!
The traditional style music is what drew me to this game. It adds huge ambience to those battles and I'm shocked you dislike it so much
I don't dislike it. It's pretty generic and forgettable though. So is a lot of SNK's early Neo Geo music.
Sweet video as always
I skipped over Sengoku 1&2 to get to 3, as I heard that was the most meaty, and... it was awesome, but maybe I should backtrack a few. The thing is, with those older games, even if they're not as fleshed out as the superior sequels- as in this case- older games from the late 80s early 90s have that special OTT time-period effect, and I can't help but enjoy myself with their raw trippy visuals XD I didn't even consider that might be the case with Sengoku. I'll definitely check it out.
Hi there. Sengoku 2 is generally a fan favorite. I would start there and maybe skip the first one. Sengoku 3 basically has nothing to do with the first two games, so expect a very different game.
I used to love Sengoku 3 but boy it was so long!
THANK YOU PLAYING TO SENGOKU
"Just look at the box they had planned"
Me, squinting: _...SexWooku?_
Excellent TATE joke, 10/10.
I never played this one. Burning Fight I have played, it's a good one, I haven't been able to 1CC it on hard yet, like I can do with King Of The Monsters, Fatal Fury and Art Of Fighting. It's gonna be awhile before I can practice on Burning Fight, right now I'm trying to beat all 296 N64 games here on UA-cam.
Does no one else think that the red Jacket character is essentially Michael Jackson!???
And I don't know if the right name applies but ...
Jack Stone
Jackson
And MJ was "Michael Jackstone" when he was on The Flintstone Kids.
Can't wait until you catch up with when the Neo-Geo library starts to become notable, Alec.
All hail the farty bass :)
I was aware of the Mega CD port, but I had no idea there was a SFC verson. If you had shown me the SFC version vs either any other version of Sengoku I would've thought they weren't related. Maybe if it had more Megs and took advantage of Mode 7 it might've looked closer to the original.
Try as I might, I never jived with this series until 3, and even then that was such a different game design...
Whatever you do, just don’t mogu your sengoku you!!
I saw you rotate the screen when it said TATE. And yes it is tate as you ro-tate the screen. Nice touch by the way.
I love this games but sengoku 2 is more better than 1.
Wait, how did the heroes stay young for 400 years?
It's not the same hereos. The protagonists in the game are from modern times.
I remember going to trade in 11 NES games for a TG-16, and my friend and I ended up playing Sengoku at the store for quite a while afterwards. It never ended. Why is it soooo long?!? Now it ranks up there with Burning Fight for me as one of the most boring Beat Em Ups ever made. Still only game with HBK as the second player.
Se Goku 3 is so busted for that gen of game
15:10 who is THAT guy?
I disagree with your protip; I can only do this game on 2ccs , but the weapons power up the extra characters with ranged attacks. I switch to special characters+weapon for really tough areas or bosses, then switch back to normal in collect mode. Also, I believe that every character who is not active will receive time back whenever you pick up a green orb, until the timer is back to 60 seconds.
Good advice. Will check it out.
