Gokuu Densetsu: Magic Beast Warriors
A rare find but an absolute treat for the 2D fight fan: manna from heaven for the Monkey fight fan. Featuring some excellent, cheesy FMV complete with suspicious special effects and costumes introducing the nine characters and also awarded for victory in the versus mode.
In story mode you start off playing as Son Goku (Monkey) with additional defeated characters available for selection on your quest to rescue the priestess and prod around the evil multi limbed demon kidnapper. Gameplay is made more enjoyable down to the simple specials which are more suited to the Playstation controller. And aurally its very enjoyable with some appropriate rock riffs and over the top special effects. Japanese title: 'Goku Densetsu.'

About This Game
Songoku—the legendary monkey warrior drawn from Asian mythology—sets out to rescue Princess Rice Cake from Natataishi, a six-armed mechanized she-devil with power to match her ambition. Each opponent defeated in Story mode joins the cause and becomes a selectable character, growing the roster as the quest advances. Nine characters total, each introduced by their own full motion video sequence, span the spectrum from mythological heroes to mechanical villains. Two modes are available: Story, which follows Songoku's quest, and Versus, which offers three-round matches with 99-second rounds and no handicap settings.
