Last Blade 2, The 幕末浪漫第二幕 月華の剣士 (Bakumatsu Roman Dai Ni Maku: Gekka no Kenshi) SNK 1998 (11/25) 2 Arcade (Neogeo MVS) Cartridge (554Mbit) Neogeo MVS, Neogeo CD, Wii, Steam, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Win, iOS, Android Retail Commercial MAME / FBNeo Last Blade 2: Heart of the Samurai, The N/A Fightcade / Steam port with rollback Archive.org backup SuperCombo More like an update that a sequel. Added 3 characters and “EX” mode. NGCD port has an extra character, Musashi Akatsuki, that is also in the DC version. Broken but fun game. Still has a moderately active community worldwide. “Team Edition” is a really cool 3v3 romhack
Last Blade 2: Heart of the Samurai, The 幕末浪漫第二幕 月華の剣士Final Edition Playmore 2000 (12/21) 2 Dreamcast GD-ROM N/A Retail Commercial Flycast N/A N/A Flycast Dojo Archive.org backup N/A A port and an update of the Neogeo game that added Musashi Akatsuki from the NGCD port and extra modes, and also it seems the balance was changed but I’m not 100% sure. No one plays this version tbh. It's NOT on Fightcade or Arkadyzja, so Flycast Dojo is the way

The sequel/update made this version obsolete, but it's still a fun title. PS1 port has less animation frames and downsampled SFX (the arranged music is great though). Has a shitton of re-releases, including two Switch ports

Cute version with some cool stuff. No public NGPC emulator can do 2 players link mode, but that mode works in Neogeo Pocket Color Selection Vol.1 for Steam or Switch, playable online via Parsec / Steam Remote

Works on Model 2 Emulator with small glitches. PS2 port is pretty good. Saturn/Windows ports are downgraded but they are good. Windows port has TCP/IP online but good luck with that
Last Eclipse, The
Anima Games 2025 (03/25) 2 Windows Download (Steam) N/A Indie Commercial N/A N/A 1.1.3 Parsec / Steam Remote Online N/A Also known as just “Last Eclipe” but the official website says otherwise. 1v1 2D fighter made in Chile with “guardians and gods”. Gameplay inspired in Killer Instinct. It's super broken (you will find 100% combos in your first 5 minutes) but has some silly charm. No online

Legend of the Dragon
Neko Entertainment 2007 (05/01) 2 PlayStation 2, Wii DVD PSP Retail Commercial PCSX2 (PS2), Dolphin (Wii), PPSSPP (PSP) N/A N/A Parsec (PS2), Dolphin (Wii), PPSSPP (PSP) N/A Game manual 1v1 3D fighter based on the animated series of the same name. Characters can "transform" in the middle of fights, which gives the feel of a cheap Bloody Roar rip-off. It could be worse imho. GameFAQs has save files for Wii and PSP versions with all characters unlocked

Barely applicable on this database: 8 players “platform fighter” with LEGO characters but the gameplay is much more traditional platform oriented, concentrated to a “control the point” mode. Still has a “free-for-brawl” mode, both online and local
Lethal League
Team Reptile 2014 (08/27) 4 Windows, Mac OSX, Linux Download (Steam) PS4, Xbox One Indie Commercial N/A N/A Summer 2016 update Original game netcode Online N/A Allright, so… “is Lethal League a fighting game?” well, I also has my doubts about it, but the devs themselves says that the game is, indeed, a fighting game, so… 4 players “projectile fighter” that you uses a ball to hit your opponents. Has rollback netcode. Super popular

Seems the doujin circle wanted to make another update but it never happened.

Basically an indie project for the machine and it's, honestly, probably one of the best games on the genre for the C64 even with its simplicity. It is also super rare, a collector’s item
