Ranma ½: Nibun no Ichi is a fighting game released in 1990 for the Game Boy platform. Rooted in the popular anime and manga series, the game brings characters from the Ranma ½ universe into a compact handheld fighting experience. Players select from a roster of characters, each with their unique moves and fighting styles, engaging in one-on-one battles.
The main objective is to defeat opponents in a series of matches by depleting their health bars. The pace of the game is moderately fast, with a focus on timing attacks and defenses to outmaneuver the opponent. Unlike many fighting games of its time, it incorporates special moves linked to the characters' signature abilities from the original series, adding a layer of strategy.
A distinctive feature of Ranma ½: Nibun no Ichi is its use of transformations, reflecting the protagonist’s curse, which changes fighting dynamics mid-match. This mechanic introduces an unusual twist, requiring players to adapt their tactics depending on the character’s current form, creating varied combat scenarios within the game’s handheld format.
