S2E06: Doomsday Warrior and Fighter's History -or- The Next Bison Wannabes

Kristal returns to join Mike and Jaymo for two more “street” fighting games: Fighter's History (SNES, 1994) and Doomsday Warrior (SNES, 1993), as part of their epic quest to research and review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog!

In this episode, we dig into the extremely French reason Capcom lost its plagiarism lawsuit against Data East over Street Fighter 2 similarities, try to determine if Doomsday Warrior was really meant as an early-90s environmental cautionary tale, and Mike and Kristal even put their Geo-Guesser skills to the test playing "Where in the World is Karnov's Winnebago?"
