The 10 Most Missed Fighting Franchises

Fighting games are back, but these once-prominent franchises sadly are not.

I approve of this list.

Me too! If Killer Instinct wasn't on here I was going to c-c-c-c-c-combo! my laptop. Also, much love for Fighting Vipers.

Dang the 90's had some good fightin' games.

Anyone else have the Saturn Darlkstalkers import with the expansion cart?

[Nate-Dog]

Man Battle Arena Toshinden was one of my first fighting series ever and one of the only fighting series I was any good at. BAT3 is one of my favourite games ever too, I really wish it would return someday.

[maniacmayhem]

Very good list, but i would replace Primal Rage with BLOODY ROAR!

Also i would mention some of the fantastic fighting games that appeared on the Jaguar and 3DO!

[IM_A_NINJA]

Nice list, any of those would be welcomed back.

[L6RD7BLU3]

Tobal is EPIC! took me awhile for me that the art design is from Dragon Ball Z

[sonicsidewinder]

be arsed with 10 page crap...

[TheKindRoost]

This gen need a bloody roar game!

[Hicken]

I'd have Rival Schools first, as it was the game that made me like fighting games. Then would be the Toshinden games. After that, Killer Instinct/Bloody Roar. Then I could care less.

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

Truly surprised Samurai Shodown or Last Blade 2 isn't on the list but glad to B.A.T, Bushido Blade and Fighting Vipers are mentioned.

[Siesser]

Happy to see Rival Schools on the list. It and Bust a Groove are the two games I regret having sold more than any other. Maybe Ehrgeiz, too.

But seriously - that game was sick and remains my favorite fighter to this day. Bat swiiiiiiiiiiiing!!
