In this episode of Retro Flashback, I take a look at the arcade edition of The Combatribes. This is another Technos Japan brawler that on its face isn't really that great but also has some fairly bold design ideas that challenge a lot the core concepts common in arcade games. Watch and see what made this different!

Programming Note: Forgive the wee bit of echo that's in this video. I just got a shiny new microphone and I'm still figuring out the best setup for it.

The Super Nintendo version of The Combatribes can be purchased digitally on the Wii Virtual Console which can be accessed from the Wii Shop Channel.
