This is another Street Fighter clone but it has some flaws, for one the opponents are cheap as all heck and the overkills, well i managed to do one overkill to one opponent which is the highlight of the game. The sound effects are straight from Street Fighter on the Snes. Or theres a Sequel.....better get started with that one. -

20 years after, the melody is still in my head
I am still surprised I found this game and love the character background.
The audiovisual part of this game is amazing, as well as the plot and character design. It's a pity that they didn't make the gameplay better. If they were like that, it would have been one of the best fighting games of the 90s.
The gameplay was eh... which sux as so much effort was put into it.
Brilliant game. Amazing graphics for the Mega Drive.
Tough as nails, a real challenge.
I remember this game back in the day. It was a good looking game back then and I can't believe how great it still looks today. The game has definitely held it's own over the years.
Letting the entire intro play alone gets you an automatic like from me. That nostalgia.....
I always thought that this game had one of the best stories ever created for a fighting game. It was huge in it's day but it's largely forgotten now.
For the time it was made in, it’s a great game. Greetings from 2024
Games like this should make a huge come back and be updated. They still have so much to offer on a character's story.
Anyone who actually thought Mike Tyson was tough to beat on NES never fought the Eternal Champion, that bastard was diabolical. I still remember defeating him, it took almost an entire day of starting and restarting, with my mom screaming at me every 5 minutes to turn off the machine and do my homework and me yelling back, "yeah, in a sec, I'm almost at the last screen" Imagine going through that a few dozen times over the course of the day LOL.
Grandmaster A yep i beat him and from what i remember he was tough, but i did it. Don't think I'd be able to do it now if i tried
You want to talk diabolical, Seth in Street Fighter 4 is im-fucking-possible.
I had forgotten how brutual the ai was in this game
Dennis Taylor Seth ain’t got shit on Eternal Champion.
ur mom was a bitch
One of the best fighting games out there for SEGA
I just bought it in good condition, complete in box for 6$ :D
It really is an awesome looking and playing game. A real challenge too.
And extremely hard
OMG !!! Back to my childhood !!! This game is awesome!! And the stage fatality's....omfg i missed this game so much!! Nice video man..!! ;)
The nostalgia is real for us 80 babies and 90 s kids we had an awesome childhood, great Christmas and school days until the millennium showed up got us all depressed wishing for time machines
Tell me about it. My all time childhood game that made me want to play it a lot.
Best unknown fighting games for the genesis. Wish they would have continued the series, cool characters.
How is it unknown? It was hyped like crazy back then. Sega marketed it everywhere.
Also it was continued in the form of a direct sequel (Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side) and 2 spin-offs (X-Perts and Chicago Syndicate)
@@melaniel.4269 oh how times change
Many games will never be heard of unless older gamers remember them.
@@melaniel.4269 right. It is definitely not unknown.
@@melaniel.4269 It's mostly unknown now cuz Sega of Japan decided to kill it in favor of pushin' Virtua Fighter. Dick move on them fr.
The story and cast of characters is among the finest in all fighting games, imo.
I remember when I bought this videogame just after its release, on Christmas 1993 (many time ago!!). I was looking for Street Fighter II, but there was no cartridge of this game available (I guess it was the present numer 1 for kids of that time), so I´ve risked to buy this game. It looked to me awesome, a splendid graphics and sound, very huge characters, an original plot, fatalities... The only flaw, its difficulty. I remember having spent many many hours playing and It was very hard to complete it. The game was programmed so that the better fighter you were, the most difficult the game became. And also, you had to defeat the final boss, with 4 or 5 power bars while you only had one.
The game wasn't so popular because Sega chose a very bad moment to release it: the same Christmas as SF II.
Without the nostalgia blindfold, It's also because SF2 was more cute and colorful appealing to more people and the music was really something you can listen every day, the chip music of Genesis was strident and old and the music of eternal champions was not that melodic (problem of a lot of American games in those time) it was big on chords mostly, the gameplay and feel of SF2 was really good, genesis was way behind technically, also who wants the wannabe "SF" or "Mario" and so on.
But this game was beautiful tho and the megaCD version is more interesting.
The graphics, the sound effects, the music... this game defines Sega Genesis.
.... and dithering.
Such a quality game, the look, atmosphere and music were awesome.
Midknight really looks like an evil version of Comix Zone's hero.
How much more effective would these fighters have been as opponents without the option to stop and taunt mid-fight?
And damn they were not kidding about the Eternal champion part
. The Eternal Champion might be the only sort of benevolent final boss in fighting game history
The only strange thing in this game is that the characters have no voice in general. the bgm, graphics and hits impact are very good
Wow, the backstory is really intense. I remember playing this game as a kid and I didn't care much for the story. I probably even skipped it. This was very well thought out...
Swaganomics 101: Jimmy Rustles lol the amount of violence in the game too I'm surprised my mom bought it for me then
I read the biographies of all of the players in the pamphlet. Loved that game.
Every person's story had a huge or important impact on the life and people they were around.
Memories like a mug.. Back when u use to have house tournaments with this and primal rage..
Oh yeah and playing for candy and soda were the prizes.
Anyone else notice the Bone thugs Eternal song for the description for the characters. I wonder if this song came out after the game.
Yea actually Bone Thugs took it from this game because this game was released in 1993 & Bone Thugs; Eterenal was released in 1995. I only just discovered this now after all these decades thanx to RUclips lol.
Keepin them on the run wit me shotgun
Yes they sampled it :3
Straight from the land of the heartless. 5 true thugs from tha double glock
Yes sir.. I have indeed noticed now..
swang wit' a click tight clan'g..
Whoever was at the controls in this longplay is GOOD. I wasn't ever able to make it past the first match. My gaming skills weren't nearly as good as they are now, but fighting games tend to give me trouble. With the exception being the Super Smash Bros. series. Only Shadow's been seen. I'd have liked to see the other fighter's endings.
Hold up! U mean to to tell me Bone Thugs sampled the theme music from Eternal Champions! Sweet!
And the Bad Ending theme for the first version of Crossroads
Superb Shadow play, especially the upward kunais to punish those jump ins and Larcen crawling on the ceiling.
they should remake this similar to street fighter 4.........that would be a hit
Bone thugs N Harmony. Only a select few will understand
Lmao you know what I'm talking about ^
Yeah!
***** Eternal Champions came before
***** eternal champions came first and Bone thugs sampled the song
MacKenzie McDermott It doesn't sound like any bone song I've heard.
Thank you for reminding me this game i never knew how it was called.all i knew was a bandit, a monster, a magician and a Granny (Shadow Slash, Xavier and Midknight) now i know they are a ninja a caveman a warlock and an Ex scientist that turned onto a vampire
It took me a while to remember it too. I'm glad it is here also. My favorite was the magician, caveman, and even the assassin.
The character bio music is from a Bone Thugs 'N Harmony song from back in the day.
that hair flip, though...
Wow. This may be the only fighting game I've ever seen where all the playable characters are good guys. Not a single one of them is evil, like in other fighting games.
+Hidden Elephant Well they changed that in the sequel,lol.
Hidden Elephant I dunno about them all being goody goodies. You have Thiefs, Assassins, Fighting Cyborgs (to the death), War Mongering Sea-Fighter. Most of them like the Vampire and Alchemist were misjudged yeah, but I dont think they were good, only that ultimately they did something good for the rest
Anti Heroes
i also found it pretty cool that every character that realistcally wouldn't have that martial arts style was explained as being trained by the EC to make the competition fair for them.
Hidden Elephant
Smash 1 did this, too.
Street Fighter clone? WTF?? This is nothing like Street Fighter
With a touch of Mortal Kombat.
@@kishengounden1891 & Darkstalkers. :3
@@violetthebat8810 Maybe im wrong but Darkstalker is older
Still a dope game though
Damn I really wish I would have experienced Eternal Champions back in my childhood, when I had Sega Mega Drive.
These days I'm a huge fan of these cartoon super heroes & this game looks like perfect for me.
Too bad Sega didn't continued this game series, because Eternal Champions has potential today with it's colourful fighters with personality.
Shadow's one of the hottest looking game charecters
She is the inspiration for many female fighting chracters including Kitana,Orchid and other anime based fighting female characters such as Miss Midnight and some kunoichis
The story concept is way ahead of its time.
I always enjoyed the art style of the game It was sort of a 90's DC look. Gameplay was a blend of Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter II.
I remember getting my first game console in 1997/8. This was an awesome game but i've never beaten it. Memories of playing with Blade and Trident. So epic seeing it again after 20years.....wow.....
EU NUNCA ME ESQUECEREI DESSE JOGO EU JÁ TIVE UM MEGA DRIVE EU E MEU IRMÃO ERA DIFÍCIL PRA PACAS ZERAR ESSE JOGO SE LOCO MANO QUE NOSTALGIA PARA SEMPRE
I will never understand why Sega doesn't stick to this franchise back then. It had so much potential! :-(
It is because of the jealousy of Sega of Japan.
The Jolly DJ
They didn’t even get an appearance in Fighter’s Megamix as compensation.
Memories ,I had this on the mega drive , was way ahead of it's time.
I just sat here and read the entire bio pausing it.... I remember reading them as a kid but i was too young to truly understand everything.
nefphlegm same here. : )
If i am not mistaken, the character bio intro contains music that either this game sampled from or the rap group Bone Thugs n Harmony sampled from this game - from the album E 1999 eternal, real hip hop heads will know what i am talking about - tell me what you all think.
There are at least two songs where Bone used music from the game. Eternal, which is on the E1999 CD and Tha Crossroads the original version which is not on the CD
Entity Edge Network two songs came from this game. eternal and the original crossroads.
nice - thanks!!!
I played Eternal Champions and Shadows' my favorite.
Shadows
I loved that game. It was way better than any other fighting game that was available on the Mega Drive/Genesis at the time. Well, at the time, basically the only good one was Mortal Kombat 1, which I loved too, but I think Eternal Champions had a bit more polished moves and game mechanics.
I remember Eternal Champions came out not too long before Street Fighter 2 was brought out for the Mega Drive for the first time. I was super jealous of SNES owners at the time, because they have had Street Fighter 2 and we SEGA kids didn't. So when Eternal Champions came out, I kind of saw it as a substitute for Street Fighter 2 and I kind of expected it to be not quite as good and hoped for it to be just good enough, but then it turned out to be a unexpected jem and it was every bit as good as Street Fighter 2 in my eyes and I was really pleasantly surprised.
Later, when we had a better (gory) version of Mortal Kombat, Eternal Champions, a bunch of decent Neo Geo ports and also finally got Street Fighter 2, even in a superior version compared to the SNES, the Mega Drive had become the best (regular, not counting the Neo Geo) 16 bit console for fighter games fans, in my opinion and had won the console war against the SNES, as far as I was concerned, hehehe.
What I liked so much about Eternal Champions was not just the tight controls, but also the roster of different fighters, which were kind of exotic, unusual and cool compared to other fighting games, in my opinion. They not only had cool designs and cool moves that made them feel very different from each other, while still being well balanced, but they all had pretty cool background stories too, by the standards of fighting games, hehe.
One of bone thugs coldest beats and songs
Good fighting game. Remember renting this game, but It was scary as a kid to play it.
I have been trying to remember the name of this game for years! Going to go buy this! ^-^
Love the overkills in this game & the graphics are great! Man this game was game hard!
Holy Shit!! The hot warrior chick looks like Donell, the other is a demon possessed women who looks like Illona from menards. How. so? She seemed so sweet, kind. I guess.. not?!
Yeah ! I remember have bought this game with the Mega Drive pack in 1993. Awesome !
Man, this game has an awesome character design and the scenarios look beautiful too. I really miss the 16 bits times...
That character bio music tho! Damn like who was in the studio my boi!!!
...and the story is probably the best I've seen in a fighting game that gives everybody a reason to fight each other that isn't "Hey, we'z in a fighting tournament!" :D
The story line for everyone is worth playing. They all fight to change their fate.
wow, havent seen or played this in 20 yrs. i did beat the champion as xavier the wizard. i remember(not too well) the champion with the silver head and face turned into a tiger, an eagle, something else than a shark. it did have a frustrating quality that if u lost u started all the way back but as a duel purpose it also made u determined to not lose, get thru all the subordinates and kick its ass when u finally faced him again. kind of like when uma thurman finally gets to bill at the end of "kill bill" in a weird way. 20 yr memories thought about for the first time in 20 yrs bring u down nostalgia lane filled with how your life was back then. not much goin on if i was playing a childish video game at 23.
as far as i remember, when you lost a challenge you actually went back 2 opponents , not the whole list. I was usually p;ayign with blade back then, and the final boss is a real pain in the ass
@@xxkwijiboxx that final boss was always a pain in the ass. I was hoping for more health against him but no. Only one shot.
The Eternal Champion fight is a bit demanding, considering that if he beats you, the world comes to an end because of to much evil...
I can't believe you beat the Eternal Master like that. Especially his 3rd form. Kudos!
I dont care what the reviewers say about it these days, I thought Eternal Champions was pretty bad ass back then. The graphics and animations were great. The music was pretty good. The sound effects needed work and it did move a little clunky, but hey, most games of the era were clunky.
It still is for many 80s and 90s people.
I think I played this game before street fighter. This was one of the best fighting games back then.
This person wasn't as experienced as I was back then.
Omg i used to play this all the time when i was little! I was always the green haired man and the music as well just wow:O love it
good old game but what a pain to get to the end no matter which character we take :@
:'(
i can only beat this game with larcen. and ive beaten it numerous times with him
Omg thats exactly what i did multiple times as well !!! I could only beat the Eternal Champion with Larcen too !!! I had every fight stratergy planned out with every fighter when i fought with Larcen !!!
This game deserves a reboot.
i was looking at the wikipedia list of fighting games for a game i can't remember. this isn't it. i've played this and totally forgot about it... but i recognized the cover instantly! strange how the memory is still here after all these years. this is a great game.
chris neto did you try a search in gamefaqs?xD
As warlock, I would just keep spamming the taunt "Simpleton!"
I loved this game.
AND I LOVE THIS CHANNEL.
This was my game the wizard and that cat burglar were my favorites.
It's been so long I almost forgot about this game :)
Hey, that warlock dude stole my face.
Eternal Champions was more of a Mortal Kombat clone, IF you want to call it a clone at all. It was an innovative fighting game at the time, considering it was one of the first to use an energy bar for special moves.
I lost it when trident said "freak" at 11:20. omg i missed this game so much
I used to love this game growing up but it was impossible to beat. My go to was Shadow and you got to love that hair flip though lmao.
Yeah the AI was cheating like crazy in the game. Easily one of the most unfair games on the Mega Drive.
@@melaniel.4269 I hated it but loved it at the same time my second favorite character was Xavier. Between him and Shadow those were my mains in this game I just hate I was never able to beat it.
@@christopherlincoln4550 I mean the game is really good overall, i like the characters (Shadow and Rax for me) and the backgrounds but the AI drove me mad. So mad in fact that once i smashed the cartridge. Hence why today i only have the PCB left of it but somehow it still works :D
@@melaniel.4269 Cool I didnt realize it was so many fatals on the game I was blown away i wish they would do a reboot.
It was announced for Genesis mini!
Best game ever
Not so, but very good :)
Damn right
Loved this and Primal Rage as a kid. They were interesting takes on the fighting game genre but they didn't really do anything new or well. Fun to kill time trying to figure out how to do the specials though.
I had fun playing this game.
The Eternal Champion looks kind of funny. In the end credits, he looks like he would say, "You can be great like me one day."
Still crying when saw this !!! What generation we were???
Keeping on da run widda mi shotgun. I Slang wid da click tight clan
Joguei o game na época que eu tinha o meu Mega Drive (alugado) na década de 90 e pra mim o maior defeito dele é justamente a mecânica do jogo e sua dificuldade altíssima (mais do que Mortal Kombat)! Outro problema é que o jogo é quase mudo na questão das vozes! De resto ele cumpre o seu papel no quesito história (ponto alto do game comparado a outras franquias), na parte gráfica que é bem feita e nas músicas que até são bacanas! Outra coisa que acho ele diferenciado de outros jogos de luta são os personagens que fogem dos clichês (lutadores caratecas e afins) tendo sua originalidade!
Essa franquia merecia uma continuação digna!

Loved this game. Xavier and Larcen are my fav characters! Why am I not playing an updated remake or sequel to this Sega?
great music at start
I love this game and shadow, jetta and Xavier are 3 of my faves
Grandioso juego donde los haya , no entiendo porque algunos lo critican tanto .
Antonio Sarria Lopez los efectos de sonido de los golpes y patadas son del Street Fighter 2: the world warrior para Snes
The sprites and the scenery are lit
Xavier Pendragon, can never forget that ridiculous character name.
I wonder how many different intros there are with the sega trademark ?
I forgot how dark this game was JESUS
It's kinda crazy to me that with all the stuff they were doing visually here that they didn't use the same line-scrolling technique as Street Fighter II for the main ground area to give it an extra sense of 3D depth and perspective.
Thanks for showing all the biographies~
Its a nice concept - kind of like in Pray for Death. Also that caveman is hilarious.
How on earth would you actually choose who to ressurrect when pretty much all of them stood to make insane changes if they hadn´t died.
The dithered graphics are pretty cool.
i can remember such a buzz about this game being released......i can also remember the disapointment when i first played it. Not saying its a bad game it's really not ......it just didn't live up to the hype that all the gaming magazines put out there back in the day.
Great Job, but I have not played Eternal Champions on the Genesis version before!
