| 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 |
| Last Blade, The | 幕末浪漫 月華の剣士(Bakumatsu Roman: Gekka no Kenshi) | SNK | 1997 (12/05) | 2 | Arcade (Neogeo MVS) | Cartridge (474Mbit) | 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 | Archive.org backup | GameFAQs | Really cool 1v1 2D weapon based fighter by SNK. 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 |
| Last Blade: Beyond the Destiny, The | 幕末浪漫特別編 月華の剣士 〜月に咲く華、散りゆく花〜 (Bakumatsu Roman Tokubetsu-hen: Gekka no Kenshi 〜Tsuki Ni Saku Hana, Chiri Yuku Hana 〜) | SNK | 2000 (03/16) | 2 | Neogeo Pocket Color | Cartridge | Switch and Steam on Neogeo Pocket Color Selection Vol. 1 | Retail | Commercial | Ares | N/A | N/A | Neogeo Pocket Color Selection Vol.1 using Parsec / Steam Remote | Archive.org backup | GameFAQs | A demake of sorts of The Last Blade 2 on NGPC. 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 |
| Last Bronx | ラストブロンクス -東京番外地- (Last Bronx -Tōkyō Bangaichi-) | Sega AM3 | 1996 (06/??) | 2 | Arcade (Sega Model 2) | ROM board | SS, Win, PS2 | Retail | Commercial | Model 2 Emulator | N/A | N/A | Parsec | Archive.org backup | GameFAQs | Basically a “weapon based” take on Virtua Fighter, now with a “youth delinquent” setting. 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 | |
| LASTFIGHT | Piranaking | 2016 (05/19) | 4 | Windows, Mac OSX, Linux | Download (Steam) | PS4, Xbox One, Switch | Indie | Commercial | Yuzu/Ryujinx (Switch) | N/A | v1.02 | Parsec / Steam Remote | Archive.org backup | N/A | 4 players 3D platform fighter based on the “LASTMAN” comic series with an isometric view. Heavily inspired in Power Stone and Ehrgeiz. It's not bad, it could be a little faster imho. 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 | |
| Lego Brawls | Lego Games / Red Games | 2022 (09/02) | 8 | Steam, Switch. PS4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S | Download (Steam, PSN, eShop, Xbox Network) | iOS | Retail | Commercial | Yuzu/Ryujinx (Switch) | N/A | 2024/01/02 update | Original game netcode | Online | N/A | Port of an iOS game. 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 | |
| Lethal League Blaze | Team Reptile | 2018 (10/24) | 4 | Windows, Mac OSX, Linux | Download (Steam) | PS4, Xbox One, Switch | Indie | Commercial | Yuzu/Ryujinx (Switch) | N/A | 1.26 fix | Original game netcode | Online | N/A | Sequel made from scratch that jumped to 2.5D and added new characters, modes and a story mode. Has rollback netcode. As popular as the first game | |

A mix of, in the words of the dev, “Samurai Shodown and Street Fighter III”. 7 characters. It's decent | |
| Lightning Legend: Daigo no Daibouken | ライトニングレジェンド 大悟の大冒険 | Konami | 1996 (12/20) | 2 | PlayStation | CD | N/A | Retail | Commercial | Duckstation / Mednafen | N/A | N/A | Duckstation Netplay / Arkadyzja | Archive.org backup | GameFAQs | The very first 1v1 3D fighter by Konami and it shows… I hated it at that time, but now it's a funny kusoge. Eight characters with 90s as fuck anime designs. It's on Arkadyzja |

Added four characters, 13 in total. Seems the doujin circle wanted to make another update but it never happened. On a weird note: this was released almost at the same time as Ver 2, there’s even a free update patch for that version (saved by Archive.org) |
| Little Battlers! Ver2.0 | リトルバスターズ!Ver2.0 | YuYuTei | 2008 (08/15) | 2 | Windows | CD | N/A | Doujin | Commercial | N/A | Little Battlers! EXTRA | ver2.1 | Parsec | Archive.org backup | N/A | Second entry. Update that added three characters and a lot of new mechanics like Parry and Roman Cancel |

Game is available for download at the official website yet it's the original DOS game so you will need to use an emulator like DOSBox-X to make it run |

Sequel for Windows that added 4 players local and 8 players online modes. Massively popular in asia and europe, especially in 2000s cybercafes and the game still has an active community. Had a MMO sequel called Little Fighter Online, unplayable (kinda) now |

A remastered of Little Fighter 2 with a new visual overhaul, local 8 players support, new characters and levels. Apparently there has been some controversy regarding the use of AI in this remaster (the author commented about this on Steam) |

Had an extensive coverage on magazines. A prototype ROM of the Genesis version was leaked in 2009 and the SNES proto in 2014. It's crappy, with only six characters. Both versions are on Fightcade. Nothing with the Jaguar version yet | |

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 | |

Kinda inspired in Power Stone 2 as the stages are EXTREMELY random (too much for my taste). One of the few games that, according to the Xemu compatibility list, works “perfect” on the emulator | |

Free patch that added new characters and rebalance. “Rev2” is the latest patch. Not for sale anymore so now piracy or a used copy of vanilla 3 are the only options. Run the game at 16 bit color to make it work on modern versions of Windows |

Very hard and expensive to get legally. Could be a pain in the ass to run on modern versions of Windows |
