Fighting game =/= shoot em up


* ''VideoGame/ToyFighter'' - what the name said, a FightingGame with toys
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
None


A [[SubTrope sub-genre]] of ShootEmUp games, which replaces the spaceships, StarfishAliens, robots and lasers with [[CuteKitten kittens]], [[OurFairiesAreDifferent fairies]], squirrels, candies, and all things LighterAndSofter. The stark space setting becomes {{Wackyland}}, and MoeAnthropomorphism abounds.

Also, as with many WidgetSeries, this isn't considered ''that'' odd in Japan, since cute is seen more as an artistic style, rather than being considered strictly for young children. That means these games are rarely {{Guilty Pleasure}}s. In fact, these games have found a solid niche among gamers.

* ''VideoGame/GameTengoku'' by Creator/{{Jaleco}} qualifies as this, along with being a both of CrisisCrossover (between Jaleco's old arcade games) and AffectionateParody of the arcade gaming history and tropes around it.

Given the goofy, cartoonish enemies and lighthearted nature of Mega Man Classic, I feel that this appropriate! ^_^

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'' is essentially, for the most part, a Cute 'em Up series in RunAndGun form. [[DarkerAndEdgier The X and Zero series, on the other hand, are a different story.]]
