Play Yuu Yuu Hakusho Gaiden Online
Punching demons as Yusuke feels chunky and powerful—Hiei dashes around slashing fools while Kuwabara swings his dumb giant sword like a wrecking ball. The Spirit Gun actually makes your controller rumble like you fired it yourself.
If you grew up watching Yu Yu Hakusho and missed this Sega Genesis brawler back in the day, you’re in for a treat. Yuu Yuu Hakusho Gaiden nails the vibe of the anime—rough-around-the-edges, packed with attitude, and full of those ridiculous energy attacks you loved. Yusuke’s Spirit Gun actually feels like it should, and Hiei zipping around the screen with his sword is just as satisfying as you’d hope.
It’s not the deepest fighter—no crazy combos or intricate mechanics here—but the small roster means each character plays wildly different. Kuwabara’s clunky but hits like a truck, while Kurama’s plant-based tricks keep things unpredictable. The pixel art’s got that classic ‘90s charm, and the soundtrack? Pure nostalgia fuel. If you’ve ever wanted to recreate the Dark Tournament in your living room (and let’s be honest, who hasn’t?), this is your chance.
Just don’t expect a polished modern fighter. This is a love letter to fans, rough edges and all.
