Fighter's History 2 1995

Fighter's History: Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu!! is a Super Famicom sequel to Data East's arcade fighting game series, featuring a story mode where Mizoguchi travels throughout the world to battle a mysterious masked figure (who Data East fans probably already know). It's the third game in the Fighter's History series, and the last one published by Data East. The game was initially released only in Japan for the Super Famicom on February 17, 1995, under the title of "Fighter's History: Mizoguchi Kiki Ippatsu!!". In 2017, Retro-Bit published the game for the international release as part of their compilation Data East Classic Collection, under the new title of "Fighter's History 2". The story mode is a gag-adventure story which stars Mizoguchi. Out on a leisurely outing, he takes a break to enjoy his town's specialty: takoyaki (or octopus balls). Before he can place an order, he is confronted by a mysterious man who challenges him to prove the snack's worth against the whole world. After the man disappears in a flash of light, Mizoguchi is somehow provoked enough to search the globe's octopus dishes and to prove that Osaka has the best takoyaki in the world. He does this by awkwardly interrogating the series's characters although he usually misinterprets their explanations as insults or puns.
