Rushing Beat Ran—Fukusei Toshi is one of those SNES beat 'em ups that doesn’t get enough love. You start off picking between three fighters (I always go for the boxer, even though the wrestler’s throws are stupidly satisfying), and then it’s straight into the grimy streets to clean up gangs with your fists. The sprites are chunky, the hits feel weighty, and the music’s got that early ‘90s synth vibe that just works.

What I like is how it doesn’t mess around—no long tutorials, just grab a buddy if you’ve got one and start smashing through waves of goons. The bosses are the real highlight, though. One minute you’re dodging a dude on roller skates, the next you’re getting suplexed by a guy twice your size. It’s chaotic in the best way.

If you’ve played Final Fight or Streets of Rage, this’ll feel familiar but with its own weird charm. Just don’t expect a deep story—you’re here to punch things, and it delivers.
