Last Bronx ~Tokyo Bangaichi~ (ラストブロンクス -東京番外地-), is a 1996 realistic 3DCG street figthing game developed by Sega's R&D Dept.#3 (AM3 aka Hitmaker) on the Sega Model 2 mainboard. This is the very first motion captured weapon fighting game, it was released two years before the famous Soul Calibur. Home versions, shortened to Last Bronx, were produced for Sega's contemporary game console and for Windows systems. In Japan, the very popular "Last Bronx" franchise was novelized and serialized into comics and radio drama. A VHS documenting on the motion capture process used for the game and introducing the characters was released in 1996 and a year later, Takashi Shimizu directed the live-action movie (V-Cinema). Overseas, the opening theme song single Jaggy Love (ジャギー・ラブ) has acquired a cult-like status beyond Sega fans and 90's nostalgics. In may 2005, the Chinese publisher Ching Win has licensed the Asuka Comics DX mangas which were scenarized by the game director himself, for an official release in Taiwan. On March 31th, 2006, Sega will finally release its long time scheduled definitive and strict emulation of Tokyo Bangaichi on PlayStation 2 as a tenth anniversary celebration.

We all grow weary of this bitter strife. And so now I call on each of you in the name of peace. You all know how useless these recent squabbles are. I have a modest proposal to remedy this unfortunate situation: I call for a figthing tournament, solely between the chosen leaders of each worthy gang. A decisive battle that will spare the lives of the young while settling the question of which group has the power to rule Tokyo. Of course the fights will be held in secrecy, and the results will not be made public. This is a fight for Honor not Fame. Image File history File links Redrum. ...

Tokyo was riding high on the tsunami of global economic supremacy when the bubble broke in 1991. Then things fell apart. Hundred billion yen building complexes were left half-finished, and salarymen started having instant ramen for lunch as the slush-money supplies dried up.

Those were the days of the First All-Tokyo Street War where young gangs met and dashed and slid into run down streets, slick with their own blood. Then a single crew of unstoppable bōsōzokus appeared to put an end to the violence and bloodshed. Through fair-handed dealings and iron-fisted fighting skills, the Soul Crew gang blazed a path for the future of Tokyo's young...


...until, under circumstances still riddled with doubt and accusations, the leader of the Soul Crew was viciously killed. The tenuous balance of power was thrown out of whack, and every street tribe with pride, dreams or ambition felt the shockwave of his fall like to call to arms. The Second All-Tokyo Street War was ignited.


At the height of the fighting, an ominously worded challenge to the leaders of the toughest gangs appeared in graffiti scrawls all over Tokyo. For other uses, see Graffiti (disambiguation). ...

So I told Yusaku it was time for him to step up and be a man. Then I hit the road. Just give me some clear streets and room to ride and you won't hear any complaints from me. That's why I started Shinjuku Mad. We're into the same things: bikes, brawls and bad attitudes. It's not that we go out looking for trouble, it just seems to come out out way. Never seems to hang around for long though. Hard to cause a beef on two broken knees. Anyway, that's my story. I'm not too interested in this whole fighting game, but I've got time to kill. And somebody's gotta show Redrum what it means to be bad."

Sega AM3 used the specific "PKG" 3-button combination introduced by the AM2 in Virtua Fighter. Others 3D fighting games also use it, like the Fighting Vipers series (AM2), Fighters Megamix (AM2) or the Virtua Fighter clones that are the Dead Or Alive series (Tecmo) and the arcade Cobra System (1.000.000 polygons = Model 3) Fighting Bujutsu (ファイティング 武術) series (Konami). "P" stands for "Punch" (or weapon), "K" for "Kick" and "G" for "Guard". The gamer use the arcade joystick to move the character. When combining it with the "PKG" buttons, it makes for aim at the opponent's body or special moves and combo. When holding "G" the gamer block attacks and protect his character. "P+G" is used to hold and throw the opponent, "K+G" to make a strong kick based attack, "P+K" for a strong punch (or weapon) based attack and "P+K+G" to roll forward and dodge a mid-body or upper attack. Using "G" during an attack will cancel it and make a feint to mislead the opponent. With the right timing "P+G" can cancel the opponent's throw. Pressing repeatedly "G" (or pressing Forward, Back, Forward, "P+K+G") can be used to taunt the opponent and mock him.

The "Tokyo Bangaichi" subtitle was removed in the 1996 American arcade release. The same year, Sega Europe kept the short "Last Bronx" denomination for it's 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. Image File history File links Nagidoll02. ...

The arcade version was developed in Japan by the team who was already successful and famous with it's mecha figthing popular series Cyber Troopers Virtual-ON. Tokyo Bangaichi was running on the same state of the art mainboard that other famous fighting games such as Sega AM2's Virtua Fighter 2 and Fighting Vipers and Tecmo's original Dead Or Alive. This Sega Model 2 motherboard was able to generate 300.000 texture mapped polygons per second which was the double than the 32-bit consoles Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation were capable to deliver. All the mentioned games were ported anyway on these domestic machines, the developers tried to compensate for the loss of quality by new game modes and options, extra characters, remixed musics and added video sequences.

Tokyo Bangaichi was already an arcade hit and popular franchise in Japan before the home version release, with even a movie (Toei Video) dedicated to it with it's own OST CD, therefore Last Bronx was launched in summer 1997 with a blockbuster campaign. The Saturn opening anime's theme song Jaggy Love, performed by the R&B trio D'Secrets (Kaori, Mayumi & Rie), was released as a single with Kaze No Street as a B-side. A manga series was launched in the Asuka Fantasy DX collection and Last Bronx was also novelized by Asuka Books. In the same time, Pony Canyon published a four episodes Radio drama audio CD series. The SegaSaturn game box contained exclusive goodies such a Special Disc featuring two Training Modes, a vocal Characters Profile and an Interactive Tutorial Mode with so many vocals to dub that this bonus disc was never released overseas. The package also included a 56-page illustrated color game booklet, a dual-side collector poster (characters illustration/command list) and a set of stickers. Sega did a remarkable 60fps High Resolution conversion of Tokyo Bangaichi. This Sega Saturn version was completed by exclusive game modes such as "Survival", "Time Attack" and "Saturn Mode", the latter being a "Story" mode with several animated sequences and real time cutscenes. Three Club Remixes by Yoshiaki Ouchi were taken from the movie's OST and were unlockable as BGM for the stages of Tommy, Lisa and Kurosawa.

After the worldwide release of Last Bronx, Sega PC started a port of the Sega Saturn version to the Windows 95 system. This 1998 version game was basically the same as the 1997 one except the characters and background are much more detailed, i.e. rain is falling in Zaimoku's stage and traffic can be seen on the Rainbow Bridge in Nagi's stage. Also the game can run faster with the frame rate "Auto Control" option enabled. Most noticeable differences are the "Saturn Mode" has been renamed "PC Mode", the Saturn CPU versus CPU non-playable "Watch Mode" as well as the Japanese Special Disc's "Characters Profile" and "Tutorial Mode" were removed. In other hand the "Replay" feature and brand new modes such as "Team Battle" and "Network Battle" both playable in single, 2-player, 10-player, LAN and Internet modes were added. New options were also available such as Interlace/Desinterlace, Screen Size (320x240/640x480), View (zoom in/zoom out), Character Model (Model 2/Saturn), and Game Details Level (Quality/Performance).

Ten years after the original release, using the PlayStation 2's modern hardware which is far superior than the obsolete Sega Model 2, Sega is finally able to emulate the original Tokyo Bangaichi without any loss. This 2006 version will be totally different than the 1997-1998 32-bit versions with no anime based "Story Mode" nor "Network Battle" but on the contrary a faithful emulation of the arcade. This time there will be no extra, except the Sega Ages 2500 Series' usual "Gallery Mode" featuring character illustrations and preparatory drawings. The only goodie included in the Sega Ages package will be a Tokyo Bangaichi poster; Also this version will never be released overseas.


SATURN/PC STORY MODE

When the domestic version of Last Bronx was released in 1997, Sega ported this Tokyo Bangaichi conversion as the "Arcade Mode" but also added a new story mode named "Saturn Mode" which was later renamed "PC Mode". There were several differences between the close-to-the-original "Arcade Mode" and this exclusive scenario mode.


The basic change was Yoko has lost her heroin status since the final fight with her elder brother Red Eye wasn't anymore the game's climax. Actually the new plot was re-elaborated as a complex network around the Soul Crew duel Yusaku versus Joe which all primary and secondary characters are linked to, for a reason or another. As a consequence there was no more static figthing order with Red Eye as the Last Boss to beat, and a Dural-like "Extra" character, but instead a random route with Red Eye this time as Semi Boss and a final match specific to each character. Dural is a semi-rural suburb 36km north-west of the central business district of Sydney, Australia, in the shires of Hornsby and Baulkham Hills. ...


Each last stage was introduced by a real time cutscene with the two opponents, it differed from the "Arcade Mode" and its 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", 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 other hand, Red Eye was now playable with even his own story mode ending movie to unlock. A stereotypical villain. ... Dural is a semi-rural suburb 36km north-west of the central business district of Sydney, Australia, in the shires of Hornsby and Baulkham Hills. ...

Telecom Animation Film
Telecom Animation Film

Winning the story mode's final stage did unlock a different ending anime sequence for each character, all videos being later available in the "Movie" mode. The Japanese studio Telecom Animation Film (テレコム·アニメーション·フィルム) did all the ten videos, including the opening musical sequence. Telecom Anime is worldwide famous for having created several TV series episodes, OAVs and theatrical animations such as Lupin III (70/80/90's), Sherlock Hound, Space Adventure Cobra (80's), Akira (88), Tiny Toons Adventures (80/90's), Ghostbusters (89), Batman: The Animated Series, Spiderman, Superman: The Animated Series (90's), Virtua Fighter, Sonic The Hedgehog (90's), Animaniacs (90's), Cybersix (98) and Princess Mononoke (97), recent works includes Tide-Line Blue (06).

TRIVIA

  • Last Bronx was first planned to be released in the first week of August 1997, but it was actually sold in Japan on July 25th, 1997.
  • In Japan, "Last Bronx" (ラストブロンクス) is often shortened and refered as "LasBro" (ラスブロ).
  • Last Bronx is one of the rare fighting games, with Fighting Vipers (Pepsi Cola) and Virtua Fighter Kids (Java Tea), to include adertising for real life brands such as Shott, Suzuki, Toyo Tires, AM Records, Java Tea, Axia, Wild Blue Yokohama (theme park) or 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.
  • The PlayStation 2 arcade emulation version was delayed during two years to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the 1996 original game.
  • Nagi is an ambiguous and excentric character, member of a no-men-allowed punk amazons community. With her official biography stating she "don't hate men" (except Kurosawa) but consider them only as "her own servants" and that she's interested with "the tomboy Yoko" to join her Dogma community it is uneasy to determine if she is feminist, homosexual or bisexual or the two of them. However her ending anime sequence, available in the domestic versions, reveals that she was once Kurosawa's girlfriend, hence her love/hate relationship with the young man. A good hint of her true nature is the Japanese SegaSaturn booklet contain an humorous chibi illustration (available on a previous section) of her being both intimate and friendly but in also "dominant", with Kurosawa. Also the Japanese edition's inlay package feature an illustrated organigram showing the characters factual relationships with Zaimoku in love with Nagi.
  • The 1998 Windows '95 version of "Last Bronx" can actually work on the Windows XP OS as long as the user has set his monitor's refreshing rate to 60Hz. Higher resolutions than 640.480 16bit (i.e. 1024.768 32bit) are compatible with a such 60Hz refreshing rate.
