Get Ready...Fight!

Oh, how I miss old school fighting games from the 90s.

Fans of the massive Naruto universe are likely to find a good investment in Ultimate Ninja Storm 3.

Arc System Works' Guilty Gear series has been around for some fifteen years now. In early December, the latest home version, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus, was finally released on the PSN, having previously been released on XBLA, Wii, and PSP. The R version is live in select arcades now, so even though Plus isn't the latest, it's still a solid technical 2D fighter with a deep history.

Namco steps in the HD Collection ring with pair of DBZ fighters from the PS2.

The latest Dragon Ball game is a first person brawler and Kinect exclusive.

Does any character in gaming history have faster kicks than Chun-Li?  From Capcom comes a 1-2 classic arcade fighting combination of Clash of Super Heroes and Marvel Super Heroes primed for download in the Playstation Store.  This '90s throwback is a nice collection of old school, thumb blistering action that is preserved in its purest form.

Heeeeeeeey sexy shinobi, MMA, Ba Ji Quan ladies!  From Tecmo Koei and Team NINJA comes the fifth installment of the fighting series known for high res character rendering, generous "physics," and thumb blistering button mashing.  And while this one delivers on all of those points for the most part, it also reels in the "crazy" just a tad to ensure fighting is taken as the main event.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure returns to consoles via a downloadable HD version from Capcom.

Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown is based on the latest Arcade build and features plenty of technical combat and customization.

Mortal Kombat on the Vita is much more than just a simple port of the Komplete Edition, it adds a significant amount of new content that makes good use of the Vita's technology.

If you're looking for an introduction into the massive Naruto universe, this isn't it. But if you love Naruto and fighting, buckle your seat belt.
