Weaponlord

Weaponlord (sometimes Weapon Lord) is a 1- or 2-player fighting game originally designed for release on the Super Nintendo by Visual Concepts, and published by Namco. During the inception of the title, the development team also began work on a Sega Mega Drive/Genesis version and both were released in October 1995. Weapon Lord introduced many groundbreaking gameplay aspects that appear regularly today. Also, unlike other titles, Weapon Lord was not intended to replicate an arcade fighter, but built from the ground up on home consoles. This was a reverse of the normal trend, which had arcade versions being developed first, then getting ported in home consoles.

On a battlefield a demon spirit enters the body of a dying mercenary. He is reborn and defeats the reigning war king in a duel. He goes on to found the reign of the Demon Lord Zarak. At the height of his power, his doom is foretold by a shaman: "When the night turns violent and the moon bleeds, gripped by the skeletal fingers of death...a child will rise to face the demon in combat...and the lord of demons will fall by the hand of...the Weapon Lord." Against the advice of his lieutenants to kill the children born that night, the Demon Lord waits to face his foretold killer in fair, one on one combat. 25 years later, sensing the prophecy is at hand, the Demon Lord holds a great tournament of champion warriors. The winner will face the demon in a final battle. The Demonlord prepares to meet his destiny head on and to destroy the Weapon Lord.
