Overview
Description

Metro City is under siege by the ruthless Mad Gear Gang, who have boldly kidnapped the mayor's daughter, Jessica. In response, the mayor—an accomplished ex-street fighter—teams up with the formidable martial artists Cody and Guy to wage a one-man (and woman) war across the treacherous city streets. Players must battle through waves of distinct criminal minions and brutal boss encounters in a race against time to rescue Jessica. This handheld conversion preserves the beloved arcade formula while bringing intense beat 'em up combat directly to a portable platform.

Mr. X and the Syndicate have returned, taking Adam Hunter hostage and plunging the city back into chaos. Join Axel, Blaze, Skate, and Max as they battle their way through hordes of punks and bosses across dangerous streets to save their friend. Building upon the success of its predecessor, this legendary arcade action game delivers enhanced combat mechanics, unforgettable music, and intense cooperative multiplayer brawling. Face off against the Syndicate's deadliest fighters and restore peace to the city once and for all.
