An average Jaleco brawler without much personality. Pleasant in quick local multi, but far from Capcom genre giants.

Description
Third Rushing Beat with two martial arts brothers battling criminal organizations. Published by Jaleco, released in Japan in 1993. Two characters with distinct styles and varied levels in two-player co-op. Original Japanese version of Brawl Brothers on Super Famicom.
The original Japanese version, Rushing Beat Ran, published by Jaleco on Super Famicom before its Western rework. For collectors, this SFC edition's appeal is its status as the primary source: Japanese title, cardboard box with spine card, and content close to the original experience purists seek. The game stays a decent brawler without major cult status, so the Japanese source often turns up cheaper than its localized cousins, making it an approachable import.
Is Rushing Beat Shura still worth playing in 2026?
The Peace Keepers is a Jaleco beat-em-up that tries to add variety to the genre with branching scenarios and several characters. The result stays decent without standing out, the hits lack impact and the animation shows its age against Capcom's benchmarks. Its main appeal lies in local multiplayer, still effective for some shared mayhem. For genre fans looking to round out their sixteen-bit picture, it is an honest option, far from essential but pleasant in company.
