While the Nintendo Switch has plenty of beat ’em ups to choose from at this point, one of the first to hit the system was a port of Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds. The game bore more than a few similarities to the beloved Scott Pilgrim game, only with the cast…
Back in 1997, Koei Tecmo released Dynasty Warriors for the PlayStation.
