Bare Knuckle 3 Longplay (Mega Drive/Genesis) [60 FPS]

Developed and published by Sega in 1994. Follow me on Twitter: Add me on Google : Better known in the west as Steets of Rage 3, this is a game that had something of an identity crisis, which resulted in three different versions. The Japanese release features a completely different storyline to the US/European versions, despite being set in many of the same locations, but was unavailable outside of Japan. I remember that the European version had completely different colours for the player character’s clothing so as to be “gender neutral“. I also remember that whoever did the palette swap on Axel did a real hatchet job on some of the sprites from his animation set; part of his leg disappears. Perhaps most famously, the character “Ash“ was completely removed from the western release and replaced with Shiva. Ash was based on a stereotyped gay male, which was deemed unacceptable for western audiences,
