About This Game
As the first home version of Sega's landmark 3D fighter, this 32X adaptation maintains the arcade's three-button control scheme (Guard/Punch/Kick) while adding new training modes.
The 32X hardware allows for Gouraud shading effects not possible on standard Genesis, though with reduced polygon counts compared to Model 1 arcade hardware.
Notable for introducing Western audiences to competitive 3D fighting mechanics that would influence Tekken and Soul Calibur series.
