10, 1994, and was later released in North America on August of the same year. The Sega Genesis version was released shortly after the SNES version and only in North America. The Atari Jaguar version was released in both North America and Europe in April 1995, and later in Japan on July of the same year by Messe Sansao. Reception The original release for the SNES generally received mixed reviews. GamePro described the game as an unoriginal but competent Street Fighter II clone with good character sprites and a variety of options. The four reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly commented that the game would appeal to younger gamers with its cartoon style and easy-to-perform moves, but summarized it as a strictly average entry among the many fighting games on the market. Reviewing the Genesis version, GamePro again described it as a passable Street Fighter clone, but were generally more dismal in their assessment, commenting that most of the special moves are difficult to execute and the game is too simplistic to appeal to experienced fighting game fans. They also found the sound effects so bad that they recommended turning them off. The later Atari Jaguar version received generally negative reviews. The four reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly unanimously agreed that the game is better than the Jaguar's previous fighting games (Kasumi Ninja and Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story) but substandard in absolute terms. Their chief criticisms were that the Jaguar version has the same graphics and audio as the by-then outdated SNES version, and has far worse controls, with the use of the Jaguar controller's number pad making it almost impossible to execute special attacks. GamePro'''s reviewer expressed little problem with the controls but still panned the game, criticizing the "headache-inducing music" and arguing that it is unacceptable for a game which was graphically average even on 16-bit systems to be ported to a 64-bit system with no enhancements aside from the backgrounds. Next Generation'' said that some characters in the game have good designs, but called art and animation flat and stilted, respectively. They also concurred that the background improvements in the Jaguar version were not enough to make the game's graphics better than mediocre.
