Overview and Gameplay
In the ruined world of 2151, four fighters battle for the right to enter the Fighting King Jade’s tower. Tuff E Nuff is Jaleco’s SNES one-on-one fighter, originally known in Japan as Dead Dance.
Story Mode begins with fights against the other selectable champions, then sends the player through Jade’s tower for a sequence of best-of-three matches. VS CPU allows a single match against the computer, while 1P VS 2P is direct human-versus-human play.
