Gekido features a few gameplay options including the Urban Fighters, Arena Battle, Shadow Fighter, Street Gang Battle, Team Battle and Survival modes. The Urban Fighters option has you (and other friends) selecting one of the four characters and engaging in an all-out war that will come to a close once you've found Angela and destroyed Kintaro. Arena Battle is a tournament based multi-player mode against up to three human players. The idea is to smash your opponents into a bloody pulp using your fists and various weapons. Other gameplay modes such as Shadow Fighter, Street Gang Battle, Team Battle and Survivor must be unlocked -- can you do good enough to earn these extra goodies? Regardless of the gameplay option you've chosen, you'll find a plethora of weapons laying around including machine and hand guns, rifles, flamethrowers, hand grenades, dynamite sticks, knives and lead pipes. You'll use these on a wide variety of enemies ranging from normal street thugs and a giant ape-man to a vicious demon hell-bent on your destruction. Additionally, each character in Gekido: Urban Fighters has his and her own combinations and special rage attacks.

Natsume's vertical scrolling shooter Gekioh: Shooting King offers nine arcade-style modes of nonstop action in a futuristic setting featuring giant mechs, laser-firing, bomb-dropping airships. Environments are filled with power-ups, explosions, and destructive mayhem. Players wield an arsenal consisting of a devastating Vulcan cannon, electrically charged lightning attacks, and missiles capable of decimating ground tanks and flying squadrons. Power-ups include increases in speed, power, shields, bombs, and point bonuses, with the primary weapon changing depending on the last red (cannon), blue (lightning), or yellow (missile) disk picked up. Gekioh: Shooting King features three main levels of difficulty: Geki Mode (normal fire rate), Easy Mode (enemies have half the rate of normal fire and collisions aren't always fatal), and Hard Mode (double firing rate and stacked odds). Six bonus modes are available from the beginning of the game (no unlocking required) and offer diversity in gameplay. Modes include Comical (damage accompanied by a laugh track), Stingy (one aircraft and one special weapon), No Mercy (unerring enemy fire), Slow (slow enemy fire but rate-multiplied), Ancient (bleached out color to eliminate power-up recognition), and Pocket (block-shaped symbols in basic form).

When Human Entertainment's seminal Fire Pro series first hit at the very beginning of the 16-bit era, it didn't just redefine how Japanese wrestling games played, it also set a standard for customization and content that completely revolutionized the genre. By the time that the series' final SFC installment was released, it had a good half dozen different modes of play, control of the rules of each match, four player capability, a roster reaching into triple digits, and a create-a-character mode that's still without peer in any genre.

The game takes place in the fictitious Isle of Ishmeria. Once upon a time, six wizards, each wielding a unique brand of magic, used their powers to protect the island and maintain peace. This was disrupted when they were collectively challenged by a Fire Dragon, summoned forth by a wizard intent on plunging the country into darkness.

Azriel Odin, ex-assassin, arrives on the rain-drenched planet of Barracus. When things go horribly wrong, he can only seek help from the very criminals he used to work for. Meanwhile, across the galaxy, a man called Delta-Six wakes up in a hospital with no memory. Without knowing where to turn or who to trust, he vows to escape before he loses his identity completely. As fate brings these two closer together, we discover a world where life is cheap, identities are bought and sold, and a quest for redemption can change the fate of a whole galaxy.

Humans and aliens are living in harmony in the future, until a tabloid journalist stirs up hatred towards aliens. They respond by invading the planet, and it's down to the protagonist to clear up a situation scarily similar to reality in this arcade conversion. Gemini Wing is a vertically-scrolling shoot 'em up, which is distinguished by its unusual power-up system. Instead of gaining occasional tokens which lead to lasting weaponry improvements, occasional flurries of tokens are released to ensure a quick burst of improved fire. The organic backgrounds are detailed, and have many sections which fire at the player character.
