Fighting Cup is one of those N64 fighters that somehow flew under the radar—probably because everyone was too busy with Smash Bros. But if you dig deep into the console’s library, this one’s a hidden gem for local multiplayer chaos. You’ve got this weird mix of characters, from ninjas to robots, each with their own ridiculous super moves that take a minute to figure out (good luck pulling off that spinning kick combo without mashing buttons at first).
The stages are small and cramped, which means matches get messy fast—no room to run, just pure face-punching action. It’s not the prettiest fighter out there, but there’s something about the way the characters bounce off walls that makes every round feel unpredictable. Grab three friends, pick the sumo wrestler, and prepare for some very loud couch arguments.
