Discovery on Steam, especially for fighting games, is kind of in shambles.

I'm gonna do my part and use the tools we do have to break through some of the noise.

Give my Curator page a follow if you want to get notified about niche and indie fighters on Steam

A random youtube video just reminded me of a pair of genuinely great freeware gems - Vacant Ark and Iwanaga, a pair of very Treasure-inspired experimental freeware shmups from a developer known only as Buster who just kinda disappeared from the scene.

They are both very cool and hold up great today

Join us December 9th for Ehrgeiz!
You might know this game for the Final Fantasy 7 guest characters, but it's also a fast, technical 3D fighter. Perform Just Frame moves, Blade Catch, and kick crates at your opponent while you run around in full 3D space.

if you want a good recommend for a game that's just got a LOT of ideas at once, try ADK's Ninja Master's

the one mechanic most people will gravitate towards is the normal strings, which function closer to later NRS and 3D fighter titles than Capcom target combos. very neat

In 1995, multiple video game magazines discussed a game that was less than halfway finished, shown off at that year's JAMMA show. That was Vic Viper: Battle Racing, a Gradius spin-off in the vein of F-Zero and Wipeout featuring Gradius vehicles and, you guessed it, battle racing. It never released.
Retro spotlight: Vic Viper: Battle Racing
Konami spun Gradius out into other genres, but in the mid-90s, they nearly went somewhere they should still really go.

I made a mod that replaces cliffracers with Thomas the Tank Engine. I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people.

A very good remake of the original 1982 BurgerTime that also acts as a perfect example for a colorization hack tutorial.

I somehow missed this PS3/X360-era Arc System Works anime license game: Nurarihyon no Mago: Hyakki Ryouran Taisen. It's got great art direction, beautiful environment art, and clean Blazblue-style 3D-referenced 2D sprites youtu.be/h8KVq0y0nag

Makes me yearn for a new Samurai Shodown in this style 💭
