Man Powerstone is one of those games that's synonymous with the Dreamcast, had a lot of fun playing the series as a kid. I still don't understand why none of the characters ever made it into the MvC series, they would have fit perfectly. This is another one of Capcom's lost gems, another great IP just tossed to the side for no reason. I'd love a Power Stone 3.
There was definitely a time period where the Dreamcast was the most faithful arcade to home experience for many many titles it was a great time to be a gamer
My dad and brothers own 1 a piece, they still have their games to. The top game I enjoyed on this system was PSO till this day its one of the best games as well as the sound track. Who did you use in powerstone 1 and 2?
Dreamcast was actually the first console to surpass anything in the arcade. A lot of Sega arcade titles of that time actually used a form of DC hardware.
This was great! But, where's Power Stone 2? Power Stone was the first and only videogame I ever purchased at full retail price without knowing anything about it before I had it in my hands! I remember the bright day, September 9th 1999, strolling into KB Toys at my local mall to buy the Dreamcast on day 1! I already knew Sonic Adventure was a must-buy, but I had a little extra cash for a second game, second controller and a VMU or two. I picked up Power Stone, looked it over a few minutes and bought it right then. Best spontaneous purchase I ever made! Capcom is foolish to let this franchise die!
Well he's a pilot & Fokker was a company that made airplanes in particular it seems to be known for it's fighter planes during WW1 which his plane also seems to be based on
@@OYAHlGH this is COMPLETE brand new, news for me!!!!! I remember playing jojos bizarre adventure on the dreamcast WAYYYYYyYyyyyyy before it became popular, by American standards.
I was so mad when it only came back out on the psp of all systems. I don't even need a sequel or a remaster. Capcom can I just get a current gen port with online support?
The very 1st Power Stone is more of an arena fighter, while the 2nd game is a more established SMASH BROS before that series got chaotic( only the 64 version at this time)! This game had missle launcher stages, Mega Man blasters, Guts' Dragon Slayer, scooters and so much more!
It was far more like streets of rage and final fight that a 2D fighter. I loved this in multiplayer with long sessions way into the night with mates and beer 🍺😃👍
When i got my dreamcast i got a demo for this game and i just had to go and buy it. XD i thought it was a fighting game. :/ then when part 2 came out i bought on release date but i didnt get into it. It didnt feel like a fighting game. That year we had this huge project in college and to decompress we would play smash brothers i never got into it everyobe kept pushing me to try it but i told them i couldnt really see what was going on. :/ but i added that it reminded me of a game i had at home and i brought them my dreamcast the next day. XD we only played project justice over smash bros melee and i got a new appreciation of this game.
This game and Super Smash Brothers are considered as unique fighting games according to GINX ESports' Top 10 Unique Fighting Games. So, Power Stone counts as part of the genre, it even got a clone game called Shrek Super Slam. 😊👍💖
At the time that Capcom was developing this game, you can tell that people like Akira Yasuda (Akiman) and Hideaki Itsuno are big fans of Shonen Jump series like One Piece and Dragon Ball Z respectively.
One of my favorite games ever. Still own and play my launch day DC and Power Stone. Me and my friends lost our minds playing 4 player Power Stone 2 and my VMU is still stocked with all items. Funny the creator says 19th century but the airplane wasn’t invented till the 20th...
Greatest game I've played out of surprise when i was little, my brother and his friend were making beats, and alongside the stuff he had a Dreamcast and a shit ton of games burned to CD, played this along with a N64 hooked up to the TV. ugh I miss it
It hurts so much that capcom forgot and did not bother with the series. I absolutely love Power Stone to death gameplay and characters just oozed with personality! It also doesn't help that this had an Anime with a saturday morning cartoon vibe that made the series more endearing I wish they could import a remastered version of the 2 games on Switch or better, make a long awaited sequel! That's a day 1 purchase for me!
This reminds me of an old PS1 game called "Destrega" (anybody familiar with that game?).. It was a low-budget 3-D fighter & the characters shot energy projectiles like Dragon Ball Z..
I absolutely adore this franchise, I remember rushing back from school launch day in 1999 because I knew my Blockbuster preorder my mom collected for me (Dreamcast & PowerStone) was at home waiting, life changing moment, such an advancement from PS1 & N64 at the time! #bringbackpowerstone
Power Stone looked amazing when played. I tried the demo and loved it. Later played a friend's copy because it was hard to find. So many characters to play, a wacky story, but also fun. It was neat, different, sweet animation, cool characters, and soundtrack. It didn't feel limited whatsoever. It was a treasure
I have been attending a Power Strone tourney at my local game store when they do a dreamcast anniversary event. So seeing this video in my feed was a great surprise!
Yay daddy's back! It's funny cause sakurai considers smash a party game but not a fighter, I consider power stone a party fighter but not a full fighting game
1:12 that's so true. When the DC came out it was graphically so far ahead of any other console that it was embarassing, but almost as importantly it had SCART (RGB) connection. This made the image look much sharper/higher res and more vibrant than competing consoles, including the PS2 once it was released (i remember it looking like a blurry mess compared to DC). SCART was a completely standard connection on PAL TV's, so this important advantage point is very rarely mentioned by RUclipsrs, as most are yanks which were stuck with NTSC TV's and vastly inferior Component or S-Video like a bunch of 3rd world cave men. You should do a video on it. The Saturn also had this massive advantage with SCART. Even now you get Retro US channels where they're having to do expensive modding just to get an RGB output from their DC/Saturn with a CRT TV... Rougly 1/4 of a century later just to get something we all had in the 90's. How embarassing.
Wow this I dint know I bought import consoles from England before but could never use their cables to connect to TV hat to get the (downgraded) us version lol
This is in my top 5 fighting games of all time, played it so much i even unlocked and beat it in first person mode : D this game was also the last true innovation and evolution of fighting games.
Mr. Top Hat please consider the history of Die Hard Arcade/Dynamite Deka & it's not sequel Dynamite Cop 2/Dynamite Deka 2. Damn those games were fun. "EMPTY YOUR POCKETS!" "PIZZA FACE..." Haha
Sweet.. thanks for the review of Power Stone. I remembered when it first came out, I was more interested in the art style than the game play when it comes to Power Stone. For next, would you consider to make a review of "Yu Yu Hakusho Sunset Fighters" for Sega Genesis. It has interesting game mechanic, similar like the 2 layout stage in Fatal Fury
I don't remember either the in-game text or manual specified Wantang's nationality but I'm certain the devs took inspiration from the Chinese (in its broader sense) martial artist archetype rather than from the Japanese. To be more specific, Chinese martial artist stereotype that was and has been popular amongst the Japanese media ecosystem that later spawned characters such as Goku.
I think the audience is about 3% ladies. Average video gets around 30,000 views. So probably around 1,200 lady views per video...or just other men using their Wife's and Mother's RUclips accounts...
Just played Power Stone @ NYC Comic-Con for the first time in over 20 years. It was my little brother first time ever playing (he was born in 2000). We literally played for an hour straight and didn’t care to do or go anywhere else 😂😂
I wish Capcom and Nintendo get together to do this game, power stone was a nice smash brothers type of fighting party game. The first one had more combos the second game lacked the combos
I remember when I was in Italy when I was younger They has this arcade game in a bar me and my friends would come to almost everyday and play. Awesome video I completely forgot about this game
Before Power Stone came out they had a demo disc with it on there. All you could play as was falco and gunroc. We always lit up when we heard WELCOME TO THE POWERSTONE WARS: ARE YOU READY?
Surprised I missed this upload... I'm looking back at a few videos during April/May and there are a few that slipped by me! Awesome to see you cover this bizarre game.. I remember Powerstone 2 on D.C I rented it, and felt it was pretty odd. It didn't really click with me..but oddly I never associated this game as a 'fighting game'
happy 22nd anniversary power stone!!! :3 along with viewtiful joe,cyberbots,dino crisis,darkstalkers especially and many other capcom series this needs to come back.
First, I want to thank you for another well put together video on Retro Gaming History. Second, I just want to express my opinion. This game seems like it is based on "Destrega" which was released on the PlayStation in 1998.
I find it funny that back in 2006 a local video game store had a Power Stone tournament, they had no idea my sister and me would just pwn everyone LOL. I ended up winning facing my sister twice in the finals. After that day they would not hold anymore Power Stone tournaments 🤣
Power Stone is to 3D fighters as to what Smash Bros. is to 2D fighters. Both just allow an amazing sense of freedom in movement, items, stage interaction, and new player accessibility. I wish Capcom would make another game, or at least bring the collection to the Switch.
Top Hat Gaming Man, I have some suggested fighting games that you should cover in future videos. Suggestions: Tekken (original) The Simpsons (Arcade) Super Smash Bros. (Nintendo 64) Virtua Fighter The King of Fighters '94 Dragon Ball FighterZ Dead or Alive (original) River City Ransom
Everytime somebody mentions Power Stone it reminds me how much I used to love playing this game, especially as I'm from a big family, the 4 player mode was a beauty to behold and a blessing to be able to play at the time. I keep on telling myself to check it out again at some point, though I'm sure it won't be the same without my siblings around to game with. Gameplay wise, I'd say it built on alot of the concept of the playing fields from Ehrgeiz, but unlike Ehrgeiz executed those ideas masterly and with perfection (whereas Ehrgeiz was fun but those arena elements were far clunkier and non-existent in some maps). You also reminded me about Star Gladiator. Used to be quite fond of that one too. How it set up this quick epic story for a fighting game at the time. Did they ever do a sequel to it? Something tells me they did but I can't remember seeing head or hale of it.
One of my favorite games ever, they should do a Power Stone 3.
Oh I agree, it's perfect 4 player action!
Power stone 3 with customizable characters stage creators and not only! Lets see how quick smash bros will be forgotten if ever capcom work on something like that in the near future!
It would be nice, but I would hate it to be riddled with pointless dlc
NF Entertainment I wish people would stop buying DLC, no matter how tempting, so these companies could stop taking advantage of the fans!

and Techromancer, super forgotten!
I Wanted Power💎Stone
Characters In MVC:Infinite!!!!!!!!!
(Especially After Ryu🥋Quoted
Their Title On A Trailer)
@VJ FRANZ K
Techromancer👍🏾Was Official!!!!!!
(I Like How Capcom Included Their Announcer From Alpha 3 In It
Which Wasn't Somethin They Normally Do)
they should have definitely put Edward Falcon in MVC2. He would have been so unique and both games came out near the same time frame too
There was definitely a time period where the Dreamcast was the most faithful arcade to home experience for many many titles it was a great time to be a gamer
Did you own yhe black or white dreamcast?
Keolancer Gaming white ive owned 2 over
Time
My dad and brothers own 1 a piece, they still have their games to. The top game I enjoyed on this system was PSO till this day its one of the best games as well as the sound track. Who did you use in powerstone 1 and 2?
Dreamcast was actually the first console to surpass anything in the arcade. A lot of Sega arcade titles of that time actually used a form of DC hardware.
Oh my god yes! Power Stone is my favorite Capcom game of all time and spawned my first ever waifu in gaming, Rouge. And she still is.
Waifu for laifu! I approve, good sir!
Who did you guys use in power stone?
@@keolancergaming1870 ryoma then garuda
This was great! But, where's Power Stone 2?

I had no Idea who we know as 'Falcon' was called Fokker. I can see why it was changed haha!
Well he's a pilot & Fokker was a company that made airplanes in particular it seems to be known for it's fighter planes during WW1 which his plane also seems to be based on
@@StarDragonJP Fokker were German mate, you wouldn't find many English men flying them in the war 👍
@@StarDragonJP A better name would've been 'Hawker' instead.
Computer Man I mean Guile is based off of a German super soldier from Jojo so I don’t really think Capcom cared where the inspiration came from
@@OYAHlGH this is COMPLETE brand new, news for me!!!!! I remember playing jojos bizarre adventure on the dreamcast WAYYYYYyYyyyyyy before it became popular, by American standards.
I was so mad when it only came back out on the psp of all systems. I don't even need a sequel or a remaster. Capcom can I just get a current gen port with online support?
Just the thrill of how this would look in current graphics.
This, just release part 2 with online play and plenty of people would be happy.
Power stone 2 is one of the best multiplayer fighting games ever, possibly a masterpiece!
It's a MASTER piece 4sure. Only game I still want 2 play
I put so much time into PS2. Easily in my top 5 favorite games of all time.
@@mraaronhd absolutely amazing, one of the DC games I still keep
The three extra levels were fun too. The floating cubes is where it got real. lol@@mraaronhd
Big daddy top hat is one of the most underrated game channels in youtube. This quality of content and edition is something else.
He definitely know his history when it comes to video games and consoles....and as a Gen Xer I can appreciate the nostalgia.
The very 1st Power Stone is more of an arena fighter, while the 2nd game is a more established SMASH BROS before that series got chaotic( only the 64 version at this time)! This game had missle launcher stages, Mega Man blasters, Guts' Dragon Slayer, scooters and so much more!
U Pretty Much Summed It Up
Right There!!!!!!

And most importantly: 4 player multiplayer.
One of my favorite fighting franchises ever. You should do a video on "Tech Romancer" for the Dreamcast.
It was far more like streets of rage and final fight that a 2D fighter. I loved this in multiplayer with long sessions way into the night with mates and beer 🍺😃👍
Thank you Big Daddy Top Hat for reminding me it is thursday , Power stone was the first game i loved on dreamcast.
You're welcome!
11:33 ...I'm pretty sure WangTang is Chinese, not Japanese.
Yeah Ayame is japanese
@@christianflores7822
Also, the "Super Saiyan" reference, though made in Japan, has its roots in Chinese mythology; so it comes around full-circle.

Great video! I had this game on a Dreamcast magazine demo disc and could not get enough of it! Thanks for revealing the story behind it!
2020: still waiting for Ultimate Power Stone Alpha EX 🙃
"Welcome to POWER STONE WAR!!"
World
I think they got inspired by marvel comics infinity stones war lol
I think Top Hat Gamer may be holding out on info. A Power Stone game on a next-gen system perhaps? That would definitely be nice.
Fondly remember it?! I love it and I have owned it since back in 2000. It is excellent especially multiplayer against friends.
Power💎Stone
Is More Of A Fighting Game
Than Smash Bros Ever Was Gameplay Wise
(It's Sequel Took Another Direction
But I Still Liked It Overall😌 )
I agree with you there, has more common with the typical Fighting game than Smash.
Thanks👍🏾4 Seein My Point Of View😊

Your Thursday videos are something I always look forward to and PowerStone is one of my all time favorite fighting games. Keep up the good work!!
This was the era, my dreamcast rotation was basically Blue Stinger, Project Justice, MVC2, Power Stone & Dynamite Cop 2.
Same here all those games plus Crazy Taxi, VF3tb and Soul Calibur. Blue Stinger needs an HD release
@@gabrielruiz9871 I knew I wasn't alone... haha thx

I loved Powerstone 1 and 2! The VMU games kept me busy in middle school as well! Have been waiting for this video.
Omg as soon as I saw powerstone I cried. The memories man of playing with the homies. Thank You For This 🙏🏽

what a blast of nostalgia, i dropped countless quarters/nickels into this game at the arcades even when i had the game at home.
It is a great game, the last boss does my head in though!
I have this series on PSP, on the Powerstone Collection Capcom released years ago.
Me too. Although, i played Power Stone 2 on the Dreamcast since 2000.
One of the best games ever. Along with Power Stone 2.
Thank you Big Daddy for answering the call of Powerstone!
This is in my top 5 fighting games of all time, played it so much i even unlocked and beat it in first person mode : D this game was also the last true innovation and evolution of fighting games.
Fucking miss this game. Top 3 favorite games
Mr. Top Hat please consider the history of Die Hard Arcade/Dynamite Deka & it's not sequel Dynamite Cop 2/Dynamite Deka 2. Damn those games were fun.
"EMPTY YOUR POCKETS!"
"PIZZA FACE..."
Haha
Definitely one of my favorite fighting games. And that soundtrack is killer!
Sweet.. thanks for the review of Power Stone. I remembered when it first came out, I was more interested in the art style than the game play when it comes to Power Stone.
For next, would you consider to make a review of "Yu Yu Hakusho Sunset Fighters" for Sega Genesis. It has interesting game mechanic, similar like the 2 layout stage in Fatal Fury
That dive kick in the 1st game was always a funny part of the game. That got spammed to death.
Hoping for #3 one day or another collection.
just wanna say I love this channel. might have to make something like this one day
Looks like an early version of Smash Bros. This is the 1st time I've ever seen this game 🤔
Great game and a must have for any Dreamcast fan. It set the bar for many a 3D fighter to follow.
Destrega by KOEI on PS1 was a good one with a lot of potential and a bit deeper than Powerstone. Would be fun to see that covered.
I loved this game when it first came out. I bought number 1 and 2 for £70 two weeks ago
Great purchase!
Top Hat Gaming Man when your favourite RUclips replies to your comment! 🔥 thanks bro!
I don't remember either the in-game text or manual specified Wantang's nationality but I'm certain the devs took inspiration from the Chinese (in its broader sense) martial artist archetype rather than from the Japanese.

My buddy has been waiting for this since you started this series. Thank you THGM for listening! :)
I like how you welcome the ladies! Makes us dudes feel like there might be actual ladies watching this
I think the audience is about 3% ladies. Average video gets around 30,000 views. So probably around 1,200 lady views per video...or just other men using their Wife's and Mother's RUclips accounts...
I heard we almost had Rouge in Tatsunoko vs Capcom. I would’ve loved to see her moves applied to a more traditional fighting game. 🤩
Just played Power Stone @ NYC Comic-Con for the first time in over 20 years. It was my little brother first time ever playing (he was born in 2000). We literally played for an hour straight and didn’t care to do or go anywhere else 😂😂
Great video. It was able to bring me some entertainment during this global pandemic.
I wish Capcom and Nintendo get together to do this game, power stone was a nice smash brothers type of fighting party game. The first one had more combos the second game lacked the combos
I remember when I was in Italy when I was younger They has this arcade game in a bar me and my friends would come to almost everyday and play. Awesome video I completely forgot about this game
I'd love a Power Stone 3, or even just port to the Swtich would be ace.
I had great memories unlocking all those items in power stone 2, my dream would be to see the 3 on switch asap !!!
I didn’t know Itsuno spearheaded Powerstone. Great vid, brings back a lot of good memories.
Great video ... one of my favorite dreamcast games 😎
Stone 2 was perhaps the funnest party game ever! The action really shined when it wasn't as straightforward as the first title.
The moves were so satisfying to pull off. I was so glad i had a dreamcast around this time...
Anyone play LAST FIGHT which was heavily inspired by Power Stone?
Power Stone is more of a fighting game than Smash ever dreams to be.
Ur Exactly👍🏾Right!!!!!!
(At Least Some1 Agrees Wit Me😌)
Agreed!
"Oh no! The sky is falling!"
Bro, this channel is gonna be a fuckin' goldmine for people who want to study video games in the future. Way to go Mr. Parliament
Probably the only fighting game of it's type I enjoyed! Great game!
It feels like forever since I watched a video of yours, forgot to click that bell orz.
Entertaining as always, you take care of yourself!
We use to love playing this game. Great job sir.
The way you hit that "wannggg tanngg" 😂had my man sounding straight ready for the cinematic entrance
Got a Japanese/US Dreamcast with this game before it was released in the UK. Wanted the red swirl. Me and mates played the Fuck out of power stone.
Before Power Stone came out they had a demo disc with it on there. All you could play as was falco and gunroc. We always lit up when we heard WELCOME TO THE POWERSTONE WARS: ARE YOU READY?
They need to re-release this for current or next generation consoles!!! Way overdue.
Surprised I missed this upload... I'm looking back at a few videos during April/May and there are a few that slipped by me! Awesome to see you cover this bizarre game.. I remember Powerstone 2 on D.C I rented it, and felt it was pretty odd. It didn't really click with me..but oddly I never associated this game as a 'fighting game'
happy 22nd anniversary power stone!!! :3
along with viewtiful joe,cyberbots,dino crisis,darkstalkers especially and many other capcom series this needs to come back.
Now do Heavy Metal Geomatrix
Why Capcom let this IP slip into Hibernation I'll never know...
Wu tang clan was so underated
First, I want to thank you for another well put together video on Retro Gaming History.
Second, I just want to express my opinion. This game seems like it is based on "Destrega" which was released on the PlayStation in 1998.
I loved this game
I find it funny that back in 2006 a local video game store had a Power Stone tournament, they had no idea my sister and me would just pwn everyone LOL. I ended up winning facing my sister twice in the finals. After that day they would not hold anymore Power Stone tournaments 🤣
Power stone 2 is my favorite had lots of good memories with friends lots of four player action
did you ever cover Eternal Champions?
