Play Ranma Nibun no Ichi Online
Pick Ranma, Akane, or Ryoga and brawl in tiny stages where water turns you into a girl, mallet swings send people flying, and Ryoga’s own attacks backfire spectacularly. It’s pure Ranma chaos with janky ‘90s charm—like the anime crammed into a Game Boy cartridge.
Ranma Nibun no Ichi came out for the Game Boy in 1990, developed by Atelier Double. It was one of those early portable fighting games, a genre that was still finding its footing on the system. Based on the popular anime, it tried to capture the show's frantic energy and character transformations within the hardware's limitations.
You pick a fighter like Ranma, Akane, or Ryoga and battle across small, single-screen stages. The main goal is to knock your opponent out of the ring, but the real fun comes from the mechanics. Dousing Ranma with water turns him into a girl, changing his move set; special attacks, like Akane's giant mallet, can send characters flying. The controls feel a bit stiff by today's standards, and the pacing is quick, almost chaotic. It feels like a messy but earnest translation of the show's humor and fights into a portable format.
