Game Summary:
Rival Turf!, released in Japan as Rushing Beat (Japanese: ラッシング・ビート), is a 1992 beat’em up video game developed and published by Jaleco for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was later rereleased on the Wii and Wii U’s Virtual Console and the Nintendo Classics service. The game is the first installment in the Rushing Beat trilogy, which also includes Brawl Brothers and The Peace Keepers, although the games were localized as unrelated titles in North America.
Description:
They’re rough, they’re tough, and they’re tired of the street punks that have taken over their turf. And that spells trouble for trash-talkin’ Big Al and his mob of inner city riff-raff. Because these brothers are out to take back the streets, no matter what it takes--and they won’t stop punching, kicking, and slamming until they clear the trash from every alley in America!
Plot:
Jack Flak’s girlfriend Heather has been kidnapped by Big Al and his gang the Street Kings. He enlists the help of his friend, police officer Oswald ”Oozie” Nelson to rescue his girlfriend and rid the city from the reign of the Street Kings once and for all. They start out by heading to the sports stadium to find out more information and locate Big Al’s hideout.
• Japanese version
One night, Rick Norton is walking down the streets of the city when he was surprised by a gun in the darkness. The mystery man behind the gun said that Norton’s sister had an important video tape and was being held hostage. A new stimulant was being sold in epidemic amounts throughout the city and was only first manufactured a few years ago. Realizing that the organization’s mystery was shrouded other than their sales of illegal stimulants, Norton has seen the city become slowly devastated over a period of time. He heads to the city stadium in an attempt to rescue his sister Maria with the help of his friend, Douglas Bild.
Gameplay:
Jack Flak (Rick Norton in Japan) or ”Oozie” Nelson (Douglas Bild in Japan) are selected in a one or two player mode, to defeat a plethora of enemies using punches, kicks and various weapons collected throughout the course of the game. Jack Flak is the hero who is out to rescue his girlfriend Heather, with the flying kick and the back drop as his specialty attacks. Oswald ”Oozie” Nelson is a police officer who uses powerful professional wrestling moves.
There is an ”angry” mode where the character becomes temporarily invincible and more powerful after taking a certain amount of damage. Moving the character is done using the four-direction controller and each move (attack, jump, special attack) is done using three of the four available buttons near the movement keys.
In the two-player versus mode, the player who wins two wins out of three rounds wins the entire match.
• Localization
Compared to the original Japanese game, the North American version removes the introductory story and credits, and shortens the ending. When each character is defeated, the Japanese version replaces their icon with the Japanese word for death (死) while the North American version shows a simple ”X”. Another feature unique to the Japanese version is the ability to change the number of lives and continues that the player can use.
The fictional city of ”Neo Cisco” used in the Japanese version became the real-life city of Los Angeles in the North American version.
