Lots of stuff to play. I'd say its biggest weakness is sadly beat em ups though. Most of the earlier ones like Burning Fight, Robo Army and Sengoku are mediocre compared to Capcom, Konami and Irem's offerings, Sengoku 3 which came out in 2001 is really the only feather in their cap. With IP's like Fatal Fury, Samurai Showdown, Art of Fighting, King of Fighters and the Last Blade, you'd think they'd have pumped out 1 or 2 good ones. They made a Samsho JRPG for god sake.
