Some stuff that doesn't belong to any category but I wanted to comment it anyway.


- Capcom released in 2001 a minigame called Sean no Basket for mobile phones, with Sean from Street Fighter III as the protagonist. Don't know if this was preserved or not. If you know something about this please contact me.

- Yes, there is a so called "Guilty Gear X" on Java but it's a beat 'em up. It was released in 2006 by Greatelsoft and it's playable on Java emulators. In your face GG Judgement!

- The King of Fighters '97 OL is a mobile exclusive title that is not a fighting game but a weird beat 'em up with online modes. It seems that is not alive anymore (I need to research more about that, at least the APK is still floating online).

- A classic "did you know" in the KOF community, but if you don't: there's a mobile volleyball game called The King of Fighters Volleyball that is very simple but playable and cute. Video is from almost 20 years ago so emulation of the platform at that time was bad, but now the game runs perfect on KEmulator and it's available on Kahvibreak.

- Someone called Darwin used Overwatch Workshop and modified Overwatch so much that basically transformed it into a fighting game called OverFight. So yeah, this is basically a mod of the original Overwatch FPS. I haven't tested this and considering how bad Overwatch has been managed in the last years I don't think this works anymore. If you tried it recently and still works please contact me.

- In 2003 someone saw the list of upcoming arcade games by Taito and mistranslated "Usagi Yamashiro Mahjong Hen" thinking it was Rabbit 2, the sequel to that cool 1997 fighting game developed by Aorn. This is because "Usagi" means "Rabbit" in japanese... go figure. This error was humorously added to System 16.

- Garou Densetsu vs. Fighter's History Dynamite is legit, not a fangame or MUGEN or some shit like that, but it's sadly a mobile only game and it's a beat 'em up, not a fighting game. There's more info on Fandom's SNK Wiki. Sounds like the most awesome shit ever on paper, I would kill for a proper fighting game like that to happen. I haven't tested it on any mobile emulator, so if you want to try and then tell me your results I would appreciate it.

- In 1997 Konami released Poy Poy for PlayStation, also known in europe as Poitter's Point, a 4 players game that flirts with the arena and platform fighter genres. A year later Konami released Poy Poy 2, also on PlayStation. My problem with this franchise is that the gameplay is 100% based on the items available at the arenas. Both games are considered "fighting games" in some databases but I honestly don't know... this barely is a fighting franchise for me, in fact it feels more like a minigame that was expanded, so for now I've decided to leave these two games out of the database but I'm also including them here for reference. If you think these games are arena/platform fighters contact me on social media, and we can discuss it. Both games were also released on PSN so they are available on PS3/PSP/PSV, just in case.


- Beware if you try to search "hidden gems" on the South Korean market: the online stores are absolutely full of bootleg CDs with emulated games using different names. For example, this is "Fire Fighter EX" that is just Gekido running on ePSXe. There's literally hundreds of examples like this (thanks to Andrea Demetrio for mentioning this specific example) and there's a very informative entry about this phenomenon at Namu.

- A Twitter user called Blur uploaded this video of a Persona 5 fighting game made by himself that looks really good but he still don't know if he will finish the game or even make it public, so... I guess it belongs here as a curiosity for now.

- I honestly don't know what is this, but on a deep trip into YouTube I found this video of a 3D fighting game called Brain Fighter that supposedly had a demo that I haven't found anywhere. It was also mentioned in the Daily Fighting Games Twitter account. If you know more about this please contact me.

- The Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi TV anime series has a fake fighting game based on Shin Koihime Musou on episode 7 which, interestingly, this franchise would also get its own fighting game just months after this episode's release. The studio that made this anime is the same one that made the Koihime TV anime. One of the characters in this fake fighting game is Shuutai who was actually added to the game years later on Koihime Enbu.

- Do you remember this scene from Family Matters?. To be honest, the fake fighting game is really well done. Thanks to Desmond for this.

- That old, early 2000s silly Kelloggs vs. Capcom joke traveled so far that even has an entry on System 16, don't ask me why.

- According to a blog entry on Tanoshii Game no tanoshimi-kata about cancelled doujin fighting games there was a doujin group working on a fighting game based on Tsukihime that was automatically cancelled when Watanabe Seisakujo (now French Bread) announced Melty Blood. The blog entry didn't mentioned the developer name or an official website, but the rest of the cancelled games presented in the article are real so...

- Thanks to 2D Kakutou Tsukuru Kojintekina Matome@wiki I found a 2D Fighter Maker 2nd game called Herz Haft. The website is still up but the download link is dead and Archive.org didn't saved it. There's not a single screenshot of the game (the images at the 2DFM japanese wiki are down too) and the official website it's like "I just made a fighting game bro, enjoy" so I can't even confirm if this truly exist... and I'm not interested in it compared to what I wrote on my Most Wanted section. So... it's here, just in case.

- If you, for some reason, heard about a fighting game called Marichiweu you are probably chilean and had a good laugh on social media 15 years ago. It obviously never happened.
