Trying to figure out which among the beat 'em up games I have from the ACA NEOGEO line on PS4 are worth playing again--haven't played through most of 'em since they first hit the PS Store...seven gosh darn years ago?!?
 
1:09 - Burning Fight
4:36 - Mutation Nation
8:24 - Robo Army
12:50 - Sengoku
18:45 - Sengoku 2
24:10 - Sengoku 3
30:39 - more Robo Army
 
Mutation Nation, Robo Army, and Sengoku 2 are too flashy for my eyeballs, and I'm not really into Sengoku 3, so that leaves Burning Fight and Sengoku, I guess! Sengoku's kinda flashy buttttttt we'll see how I do.
 
Got a bit migraine-y today for the first time in quite a while ehhh I blame Sengoku 2. ; PP

HM. Ah yeah I guess I should probably avoid Sengoku 1 as well, for that matter. Blast my eyes! Burning Fight is the sole winnah!

2017 video & notes:
 

 
Playing all the way through ACA NEOGEO Robo Army with a friend on a PS4 Pro in local co-op.
 
Robo Army came out 6 months after Burning Fight in 1991, and in that time SNK had evidently learned to make their beat-em-ups much more polished (although I do kind of like just how crazy stuff was in Burning Fight : D). There's no friendly fire this time around! And you can do a bunch of really strong super attacks if you have POW. Somewhat oddly, you can't use the kick attack (the buttons are Punch, Kick, Jump, in some order) until you've used all your POW special attacks.
 
Some of the giant robot boss designs are pretty neat!
