Last Bronx(ラストブロンクス -東京番外地-, Last Bronx ~Tokyo Bangaichi~?) is a 3Dfighting game developed by Sega-AM3 on the Sega Model 2 mainboard. This is one of the first motion captured weapon fighting game released in Japanese game centers in 1996, the other was Soul Edge. Home versions, shortened to Last Bronx, were produced for contemporary Sega game console and Windows systems. In Japan, the Last Bronx was novelized and serialized into comics and radio drama. A VHS video documenting the motion capture process used for the game and introducing the characters was released in 1996. A year later, Takashi Shimizu directed the live-action movie (V-Cinema). On June 29, 2006, Sega released Tokyo Bangaichi on PlayStation 2 as a tenth anniversary celebration.

- The game features a total of eight fighters and weapons with bats, hammers, swords and a number of well designed gang characters. Game modes include arcade, Vs., survival, time attack, PC and practice modes. Last Bronx also features eight distinctive 3D fighting arenas set around Tokyo from subways to industrial neon settings.
- It just doesn't make sense. And without Direct 3D or 3DFX support, Last Bronx requires a high-spec PC to get it running in SVGA mode. On a P133, Last Bronx runs like a dog in treacle, and even in VGA mode, it's not always smooth. If you do have a fast PC it looks good, but a 3D card patch would definitely make Last Bronx a more promising purchase.
- Last Bronx is an action game (fighting) released in 1996 by SEGA Enterprises. The game was released for Arcade machines, SEGA Saturn and PC (Windows). Last Bronx is a game similar to Virtua Fighter 2. The plot of the action focuses on street fighting, the purpose of which is to select a new gang leader who will rule the city of Tokyo.
Plot[edit | edit source]
Last Bronx is set in a alternate version of post-Japanese bubble Tokyo, where crime and gang warfare is rampant. The game has the following main characters:
- Yusaku Kudo (工藤 優作) is the 19-year-old boss of street-gang (or 'crew', as they are referred to in Last Bronx) 'Neo-Soul' from Haneda airport. Yusaku is 171 cm tall and weighs 66 kg. His preferred weapon is a metal sansetsukon; his in-game alternate weapon was a Shinkansen scale model.
- Joe Inagaki (稲垣 丈) is the 23-year-old boss of the 'Shinjuku Mad' (新宿マド) gang from Shinjuku. His preferred weapons are metal nunchaku; his in-game alternate weapons are corn ears. Joe is 179 cm tall and weighs 76 kg.
- Saburo Zaimoku (財目三郎) is the 26-year-old boss of the 'Katsushika Dumpsters' (葛飾ダンプスターズ) gang from Katsushika. He is 183 cm tall and weighs 102 kg. Zaimoku's preferred weapon is the hammer; his in-game alternate weapon is a frozen tuna.
- Toru Kurosawa (黒澤 透) is the 25-year-old boss of the 'Roppongi Hard Core Boys' (六本木野獣会) gang from Roppongi. He is 177.5 cm tall and weighs 71 kg. Kurosawa's preferred weapon is the bokuto (a wooden sword); his in-game alternate weapon is a folding fan.
- Nagi Hojo aka The Raving Lesbian(豊饒 梛) is the 23-year-old boss of the 'Dogma' (怒愚魔) gang from the Rainbow Bridge area of Tokyo, as well as a feminist. She is 167.5 cm tall and weighs 52 kg. Her measurements are 90-60-90. Nagi's preferred weapon is the sai; her in-game alternate weapon is a spoon and fork.
- Yoko Kono (港野 洋子) is the 20-year-old boss of the 'G-Troops' gang from the Tokyo subways. She is 163.5 cm tall and weighs 49 kg. Yoko's preferred weapon is a wooden tonfa; her in-game alternate weapons are umbrellas.
- Ken Kono (港野 拳) was the co-founder and former boss of the 'G-Troop' gang. After refusing the Redrum challenge, Redrum badly injured him in a fire, and his anger made him mad and evil. Eventually, he was turned into Red Eye(レッドアイ) and himself became an agent for the mysterious Redrum ('Murder' backward) organization. In Yoko's ending, he is beaten by his sister Yoko at the tournament's final in the subway. Ken apologizes and tells his sister the truth, and then dies in her arms. Red Eye's preferred weapon is a metal tonfa; his in-game alternate weapons are chopsticks and broiled sauries.
- Hiroshi 'Tommy' Tomiie (富家 大) is the 18-year-old boss of the 'Helter Skelter' gang from Shibuya. He is 165.5 cm tall and weighs 54 kg. Tommy's preferred weapon is the Bō (a long pole); his in-game alternate weapon is a deck brush. Tommy's stage, 'Cross Street', features a Sonic mascot which is Sega Shibuya Game Center's logo.
- Lisa Kusanami (草波 リサ) is the 17-year-old leader of the 'Orchids' music-band (and gang) from the moonlight garden in Takeshiba Passenger Ship Terminal. The youngest playable character, she is 159 cm tall and weighs 45 kg. Her measurements are 83-58-85. Lisa's preferred weapon is a double metal stick (aka 'Double-sticks'); her in-game alternate weapon is a ladle and spatula.
Gameplay[edit | edit source]
Each match is a best out of two rounds fight with victory by Knock Out or remaining health at the end of the 30-second time limit. The stages are set in real Tokyo city closed areas without any ring outs. However, fighters can jump on the barriers (and eventually make a disqualifying ring out backflip from there).
Sega AM3 used the 'PKG' 3-button system introduced by the AM2 in Virtua Fighter - 'P' stands for 'Punch' (or weapon), 'K' for 'Kick' and 'G' for 'Guard'. The player uses the arcade joystick to move the character. Certain joystick and button combinations result in special attacks and combination attacks. The 'G' button is used to block the opponent's attacks and to perform a feint attack called 'Attack Cancel'.Strong attacks, throlls and rolling moves can be performed using different button combinations. Taunts can also be used - Last Bronx is part of the rare games in which the CPU uses this feature against the player or even another CPU controlled character.
Saturn/PC Mode[edit | edit source]
When the home version of Last Bronx was released in 1997, the original arcade game was available in 'Arcade Mode' but Sega also added a new story mode named 'Saturn Mode' (later known as 'PC Mode'). There were several differences between Arcade Mode and this new mode.
![Full Full](/uploads/1/1/8/7/118769099/599166517.jpg)
The basic change was in the character Yoko - she lost her protagonist status since the final fight with her elder brother Red Eye was no longer the game's climax. The new plot was re-imagined as a complex network revolving around the Soul Crew duel of Yusaku versus Joe, around which all primary and secondary characters are linked to, for individual reasons. As a result there was no more fixed fighting order with Red Eye as the last boss to beat, but instead the mode features a random route with Red Eye as a Sub Boss and a final match specific to each character.

Each final match was introduced by a real time cutscene with the two opponents, which differed from the Arcade Mode's unique dialogue between Yoko and Red Eye, Yoko being the only character directly connected to the game's bad guy. The Arcade Mode's 'Extra Stage', which was only available when beating Red Eye without using a continue did not exist in the story mode. In this bonus stage, the ultimate opponent was a Dural-like metallic mute version of the player's own character (in reference to Virtua Fighter 3). Depending on the version, this extra character was either a solid gray color or reflective. In the console versions, Red Eye was now playable with his own story mode ending movie to unlock.
Winning the story mode's final stage unlocked a different ending anime sequence for each character and each video became available for future viewing in the 'Movie' mode. Prolific Japanese studio Telecom Animation Film (テレコム•アニメーション•フィルム) produced all ten videos, including the opening music sequence.
PlayStation 2 extra settings[edit | edit source]
A hidden bonus menu featuring exclusive options is included in the PlayStation 2 version:
- Kaodeka Mode: The 'Huge Face Mode' allows the use of characters with oversized head, which is typical of the SD anime/manga style.
- Bukideka Mode: The 'Huge Weapon Mode' allows the use of oversized weapons for both characters. These cartoon style big arms don't affect the power of the fighters though.
- Invincible Mode: This mode disables damage for both characters allowing an unlimited health bar. As a consequence, the player cannot reach the second stage in the single player modes nor cheat in 'Survival Mode'. This feature is actually meant to be combined with the 'Round Time' option set to 'Infinity' to be used as a 'Practice Mode'.
- Tough Mode: This mode doubles the strength for both characters. When hit, a fighter will only lost the half of the damage compared to the default setting.
- Homerun Mode: When struck by an uppercut or a powerful attack, the fighters will float much higher in the sky. This mode's name is a reference to the baseball explicit term home run.
- Gourad Use: Turning on this mode will allow the user to unlock both 'Metal' (3DCG model textured with Gouraud shaded reflection & light source effects) and 'Gray' (the same light sourced, gray colored 3DCG model minus the reflection effect) versions for all playable characters. An unplayable 'Metal' version was already available in the Arcade version, and was also selectable in the PC version through the 'Character Model' option. Due to the amount of CPU resource required by the 'Metal' effect's Gouraud shading real time operation, a low-detail stage, including simple light sources, was specially designed to host this character: the 'Brilliant Room'. As the SegaSaturn hardware wasn't able to handle Gouraud shading on this game, the developers removed the metallic effect and left an untextured, gray, character instead. The latter was kept and made available for low-end computers in the following Windows edition. Since the PlayStation 2 hardware is superior to the Model 3, the 'Metal' version is now available in all stages, for the two fighters and is even selectable in the character selection screen just like a regular, alternate, costume.
Releases[edit | edit source]
Last Bronx was first planned to be released in the first week of August 1997, but it was actually first sold in Japan on July 25, 1997. The Tokyo Bangaichi tagline was removed from the original logo in the 1996 American arcade release. The same year, Sega Europe kept the short Last Bronx name for its own cabinet. The home versions released the following years were also named Last Bronx, but the logo's blood squirt was removed in overseas editions. Only the 2006 PlayStation 2 Sega Ages 2500 Series Vol.24 version use the original Last Bronx: Tokyo Bangaichi title name and logo.
The arcade version was developed in Japan by the AM3 team that had developed Virtual On. Tokyo Bangaichi was running on the same mainboard that Tecmo's Dead Or Alive and Sega's own AM2's Virtua Fighter 2 and Fighting Vipers. While the original port of the game was graphically inferior to its arcade counterpart, the port featured new game modes and options, extra characters, remixed music and exclusive video sequences.
Tokyo Bangaichi was already a hit and popular franchise in Japan before the home version's release[citation needed], with even a movie (Toei Video) dedicated to it, with its own OST CD. As a result, Last Bronx was launched in summer 1997 with a blockbuster campaign. The SegaSaturn game box contained exclusive extras such a 'Special Disc' featuring two training modes, a vocal characters profile and even an 'Interactive Tutorial Mode' with extensive vocals. This bonus disc was never released overseas. This package also included a 56-page illustrated color booklet, a dual-side collector poster featuring character art and a gameplay command list and a set of stickers. The console conversion of Tokyo Bangaichi ran at 60 frames per second. This Sega Saturn version was supplemented by extra game modes such as Survival, Time Attack and Saturn Mode. Three Club Remixes by Yoshiaki Ouchi were taken from the movie's OST and added in the game as unlockable BGM for the stages of Tommy, Lisa and Kurosawa.
Last Bronx includes advertising for real life brands such as Shott, Suzuki, Toyo Tires, AM Records, Java Tea, Axia, Wild Blue Yokohama (theme park) and JAL. Most of these advertising bills were removed or exchanged with Sega or Saturn logos, sometimes replaced by 'Now Printing' bills, in the oversea releases. An 'AAA Act Against AIDS' bill, which is a Japanese nonprofit annual event concert, was introduced in the subway stage of the 1998 Windows version.
After the worldwide release of Last Bronx, Sega PC started a port of the Sega Saturn version for Windows 95/98. This 1998 home version was basically the same as its predecessor but graphically closer to the arcade original with a superior character models and much more detailed fighting environments. The game also ran at a faster frame with the new 'Auto Control' option. The 'Saturn Mode' was renamed 'PC Mode' and there were removed modes such as the CPU versus CPU non-playable 'Watch Mode'. A new 'Replay' feature was introduced and brand extra modes were added including 'Team Battle' and 'Network Battle', both playable in single, 2-player or 10-player LAN/Internet. Screen resolutions and graphic detail options were also available.
Ten years after the original release, Sega emulated the original Tokyo Bangaichi on the PlayStation 2. This version is a straight emulation of the arcade original, with none of the special modes added to the ports. The four game modes are 'Arcade Mode', 'VS Mode', 'Survival Mode' and 'Time Attack Mode'. The 'Replay Mode' which was introduced in the Windows version is still available and was improved as it now gives the player the ability to save into the memory card their own 'Replays' in order to watch them later. In this upgraded mode, the user can now zoom in/out and freely select the camera angle or even rotate over 360° around the moving characters. This version also featured the Sega Ages 2500 usual 'Archives' mode with some game art.

The game is fully compatible with the 'SegaSaturn Control Pad/Virtua Stick for PlayStation 2' which were specially released on the Japanese market to fit the Sega Ages vintage line. Just like its predecessors, this new version doesn't support the vibration function. However, it does feature extensive display options - including frame rate adjustment and letterbox mode. Also for the very first time, the user can adjust the volume for both BGM, sound effects and voices, which includes the ability to play without music. The Saturn version's extra BGMs are not available as the 2006 edition is a straight-to-arcade port. However, a cheat code can be used to switch between the 'Last Bronx 1996' and 'Last Bronx 2006'. The first one uses the original title screen, game graphics and secret tip messages (how to unlock the Survival Mode, etc.), it even disables the latter's basic features including game modes selection, options and the 'Pause' function. The player can virtually insert coins -to add credits- by holding 'START' and pressing 'SELECT' while playing. To quit this Arcade-only mode, the user must run out of credits and wait for the title screen in order to do the switch trick.
Two campaign editions are released through the Sega Direct online shop, first one is a regular edition bundled with an exclusive '葱 Dumpsters' round badge. This kanji symbol, spelled negi, appears on Zaimoku's 2P suit and means 'green onion', which is a Japanese food, while 'Dumpsters' is the name of this character's gang. The second edition is named 'DX Pack', for 'Deluxe Pack', and features a 'portable strap set' and a 'postcard set'. The first set is made of a black 'Last Bronx' leather bracelet and nine metallic keyholders, shaped according to each crew's insignia, while the other set features eight color postcards, illustrated with the basic characters. Unlike its predecessors, this version will not be released overseas.

Retrieved from 'https://gamicus.gamepedia.com/Last_Bronx?oldid=743842'
The streets of Tokyo will never be the same after these armored warriors hit the scene. Last Bronx is a weapon based 3D Fighter by the makers of the Virtua Fighter series with a definite teenage, street gang influence. The gameplay is strictly 2D based with movement back and forward along with traditional Sega realistic fighting minus the glamour of many other 3D and 2D Fighters.
The game features a total of eight fighters and weapons with bats, hammers, swords and a number of well designed gang characters. Game modes include arcade, Vs., survival, time attack, PC and practice modes. Last Bronx also features eight distinctive 3D fighting arenas set around Tokyo from subways to industrial neon settings.
Sega have also provided multi player options for up to six people over LAN, modem and serial link.
Given Sega's less than stellar track record with arcade to PC conversions, I was somewhat hesitant to even try Last Bronx. As usual, Sega decided it wasn't necessary to provide 3Dfx or Direct3D support right out of the box, so running this game anywhere near the arcade version is completely out of the question. However, unlike VF2, Last Bronx can be made playable by messing around with the extensive collection of display options.
As usual, you can control the action with the keyboard, but you might as well not even play if that's the case. However, grab a Microsoft Sidewinder Pad and turn it on, it works perfectly. The buttons are even set up correctly. The control is almost as good as the Saturn version.
The graphics in the PC version aren't as nice as its Saturn counterpart. While arcade character models and backgrounds are available, let's be realistic. No one with an average computer can ever play the game with these settings. The high detail characters and 2D bgs are almost identical to the Saturn version, but the floors are visibly worse. The floor textures are constantly deforming and breaking up, and they stop right at the ring edge, rather than going on to meet the background.
The sound is exactly the same as the Saturn version, and the voices are somewhat clearer. This has to be the only area in which the PC game is actually superior. The music is typical Sega stuff, that is to say very unique, if not strange.
Overall, I have mixed feelings about this game. On the one hand, after surviving the horror of VF2 PC, I'm glad just to be able to play a Sega arcade fighter that runs somewhat respectfully on my PC. On the other hand, there's really no excuse for the lack of 3D support right out of the box. Almost every other developer out there knows that a 3D game on the PC just won't fly without it, but Sega doesn't seem to realize this. In all fairness, this game should run much better than the Saturn version.
Even though this game was somewhat popular in arcades, I really don't think it's going to enjoy much success on the PC. Sure the game looks fairly decent in 640x480 with 16bit color,. 3D support would lend a lot to a game of this nature, but it's nowhere to be seen, and what we're left with is a clunky polygonal fighter whose only claim to fame is that it's based off fighting with weapons. It's pretty much just Virtua Fighter with a stick here and a club there. One thing the game does having going for it is that there are about 30 'special attacks' per character available. I was pleased to see they were all listed in the manual, but by the time you have them all memorized, this game will have been deleted and thrown into the attic.
The reason this game's not destined for glory is that it really just rehashes every cliche you've seen in a fighting game before. Some typical street gang toughs make an appearance in the character selection menu, and while they have some nice background stories, there's nothing to recommend one of any of the others in terms of play. You won't find any really exciting or graphic intensive special moves in any of their lineups, and most of the combos are of the 'punch punch punch' or 'kick kick kick' varieties. Juggling can be done, but not to a great degree, and you can't really create your own style of combos, which makes things get very repetitive. It's nice to see that the characters have weapons in their hands, but it never really appears as if they do anything but look pretty. The idea of using the weapons could have been cool if you could get some blood spurting out or break a few bones, but in this game they were only included as a gimmick.
I'll give the designers this much, they did try to make it a good conversion. The sounds are cool and sound appropriate, and the graphic resolutions can reach higher levels than in the arcade. Some nice Anime style movies pop up as well, and the subtitling to the songs that play while they run makes it kind of funny to watch them. But all this aside, you still can't beat sitting down at an arcade with anything on the PC yet, even if Last Bronx is no worse than any other PC fighters. I just can't get the same competitive atmosphere found in the arcade going, and I certainly don't enjoy the game as much while sitting hunched over in front of a monitor. One interesting thing about Last Bronx is that it includes full multiplayer support, from TCP/IP to modem to Serial Link.
I really hate to admit it, but Last Bronx is one of the better fighting games on the PC. That's not to say it's very good or very fun, and there's no one I could recommend this to with a straight face. Last Bronx is wholly unoriginal and almost pitiful in terms of gameplay, a title that's been outclassed by lots of other fighting games on other systems.
