Buriki One

About

Buriki One throws you into a 3D brawling tournament where fighters from around the globe clash in the Tokyo Dome. Each character specializes in a distinct martial art from Boxing to Muay Thai, letting you mix striking and grappling techniques. The Hyper Neo Geo 64 platform lets the action run smoothly at 60 frames per second, making every punch and kick feel sharp. Single-player modes test your skills against the roster while local multiplayer adds a punchy challenge for head-to-head showdowns. The game’s biggest draw is its blend of fast-paced combat and visual polish for its era. Critics praised its fluid animations and responsive controls back in 1999, though its short lifespan as a one-off release kept it from gaining a wider audience. Still, diehard fighting fans often cite it as a hidden gem, with its no-frills tournament setup and diverse move sets holding up better than many contemporaries. A small but vocal group of players keeps it alive in retro circles.

Storyline

It's Spring 1999... Fighters from across the world gather at the Tokyo Dome to compete in the World Grapple Tournament. Each contender has their own fighting discipline, ranging from the popular styles of Boxing, Karate and Professional wrestling, to the lesser known arts of Aikido, Tai Chi and Muay Thai. Finally, they have the chance to prove which martial art conquers all!
