Konami 3D fighter with a one-of-a-kind move-learning system (steal moves from opponents). Original idea, sloppy execution, animations dated even for 1998. Levelling your fighter is satisfying but doesn't rescue the whole.

Konami's 3D fighter, released in the US in mid-1998, built around a move-learning system that copies opponents, an original idea let down by weak execution. Critically panned and largely forgotten, yet the game stays uncommon stateside, especially sealed. Its value rests on that market scarcity rather than genuine demand, with appeal limited to completists of the N64's fighting-game library.
