    If you like Tobai No. 1 then give Bushido Blade 1 and 2 a shot. Also published by Square, they’re weapon-based fighting games but with the unique mechanic that weapon damage is relatively realistic: a crucial blow/cut to a limb means the opponent can’t use it anymore, and instakills are possible by direct strikes to the chest or head.
