Natsuki Crisis Battle
A 1995 Super Famicom fighting game based on Natsuki Crisis.
Natsuki Crisis Battle, a 1995 title for the Japanese Super Famicom, adapts the two-episode OVA and manga *Natsuki Crisis* by Hiroshi Tsuruta, which ran in *Business Jump*. Players choose from eight characters to fight in stages like a budō gym or outside a high school.
The roster includes Natsuki Kisumi (voiced by Ai Orikasa), the heroine in a red gi who, in story mode, battles opponents while wearing her school uniform. Rina Takaoka (Yūko Miyamura) is Natsuki’s rival and friend, a small but gifted amateur wrestler using a "cat-as-catch can" style. Akira Kandori (Mari Mashiba) is a powerfully built female wrestler with short hair. Masaaki Yanagisawa (Nobuyuki Furuta) is the superhumanly strong karate team captain at their school. Naoya Hondō (Nobuo Tobita) is a flirtatious pretty boy and the first story mode opponent. Other fighters include Endo (Tōru Furusawa), Bigaro Nabeshima (Naoki Makishima), and Tsuguo Nabeshima (Ken Narita).
Upon release, *Famicom Tsūshin* gave the game a score of 21 out of 40.

Reader's Guide
Natsuki Crisis Battle is a fighting game that adapts the Natsuki Crisis manga and OVA series. Its significance lies in being a licensed title released exclusively for the Japanese Super Famicom, featuring a roster of eight characters drawn from the source material. The game received a score of 21 out of 40 from Famicom Tsūshin upon release, indicating a mixed critical reception. As a product of the mid-1990s, it represents the trend of adapting anime and manga into fighting games for home consoles, though its limited release and moderate review scores have kept it a niche entry in the broader library of Super Famicom titles.
