Okay, so Ranma Nibun No Ichi: Part 2 on Game Boy is basically peak 90s anime nostalgia—if you grew up watching Ranma ½, this thing hits different. You jump in as Ranma (or Akane, if you're feeling spicy) and brawl through these side-scrolling stages packed with goofy enemies and dumb little references to the show. The sprites are tiny but weirdly charming, like someone squeezed the anime’s chaos into a Game Boy cartridge.

At first, the controls feel a bit stiff—typical for early handheld fighters—but once you get used to Ranma’s kicks or Akane’s hammer swings, it’s stupidly fun. There’s even this weird rock-paper-scissors mini-game between stages that makes zero sense but somehow fits the series’ vibe perfectly. And yeah, the dialogue’s all in Japanese, but if you’ve seen even one episode, you’ll recognize the ridiculous scenarios anyway.

Honestly, it’s not some deep masterpiece, but for a licensed game from 1992? Way better than it had any right to be. Just don’t expect a full-on RPG or anything—this is pure, janky beat-’em-up goodness.
