I don’t know how useful this list is, but I made it, so here it is!<\/p>\n
The major addition I could, and maybe eventually will, make to the list is to also mark North American region-exclusive titles.\u00a0 I should do that.<\/p>\n
The other major addition would be to also make a handheld fighting games list.\u00c2\u00a0 I should do this too.<\/p>\n
NOTES<\/strong><\/span> Also, importantly, Boxing, Wrestling, Karate, Taekwondo, Fencing, and so on games are not usually included in this list.\u00a0 You could, but I’d put those more with sports than fighting, myself.<\/p>\n I list the games by US release title, plus EU\/JP ones when the games were only released there.\u00a0 Similarly on this list I only note it when a game was only\u00a0 released in Japan, not when it was only released in the US, or was US+Japan but not Europe; sorry.\u00a0 That’d be a lot more work.<\/p>\n KEY<\/span><\/strong> * (One Asterisk) means the game noted is a console-exclusive title: a game only released on the console in question and arcades or computers, and no other 4th gen consoles. Note – newer ports don’t count here.<\/p>\n *#* (Two Asterisks around a Pound sign) means the game noted is a true exclusive, a game that is only available on this one system.<\/p>\n The List<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n (More titles than marked probably have 6 button controller support) Sega CD<\/strong><\/span> There’s also Ranma 1\/2: Byakuran Aika (JP only), which is a FMV-style “fighting” game which basically has Rock-Paper-Scissors as its entire gameplay mechanic. I don’t quite think it should count, but I thought I’d list it (and yes, it’s exclusive).<\/p>\n Sega 32X<\/strong><\/span> Sega 32X CD<\/strong><\/span> Super Nintendo (SNES)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Regional exclusives not released in North America: 25 JP only, 4 JP\/EU only. Note that there are two other SNES (exclusive) Yuu Yuu Hakusho fighting games.\u00a0 They’re sort of fighting games; they’re FMV-esque “fighting” games.\u00a0 Not sure if they should count here or not.\u00a0 I guess they go in a category with stuff like Supreme Warrior, the Sega CD Ranma game, some of the boss battles in one of the SNES Zenki games, and the like.<\/p>\n TurboGrafx-16 \/ PC Engine (TG16)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Regional exclusives not released in North America:\u00a0Both games Japan only Turbo CD \/ PC Engine CD (TCD)<\/strong><\/p>\n Regional exclusives not released in North America: 12 games Japan only (of 14) I don’t know how useful this list is, but I made it, so here it is!

\nI’m not counting the Neo-Geo here, note, even though it obviously is a 4th gen console.\u00a0 So I put an asterisk by Art of Fighting 2 since it was only on Neo-Geo and SNES (4th gen wise).\u00a0 Obviously though it, and all of the Neo-Geo games, are also on consoles on that system.\u00a0 I’ve just always thought of the Neo-Geo as its own thing, and not a console actually competing with the “normal” 4th, 5th, or 6th gen consoles…<\/p>\n
