2	''Nekketsu Oyako'' (''Hot-Blooded Family'') is a BeatEmUp by Technosoft, the creators of the ''VideoGame/ThunderForce'' series, as their first (and only) game in the beat 'em up genre. It was released for the original Platform/PlayStation on December 3, 1994 as a launch title for the console. A Platform/SegaSaturn port was released the following year.

4	[[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture The year is 2064]]. The Hibinos may look like your average family, but middle-aged housewife Saeko Hibino has a secret: she was a ChildProdigy who created an antimatter fusion reactor at the age of 17. Thus, the local crime syndicate Haraguro-dan, led by the evil CEO Herograw, has devised a plan to kidnap her and force her to complete a doomsday device. When the kidnapping succeeds, her husband, a former professional wrestler named Rando, shout: [[ThisIsUnforgivable THEY'RE]] [[ActionDad GOING DOWN!!!]] And he's not the only HotBlooded one: his daughter, fighting prodigy Rio Hibino, and Saeko's assistant Toratarou Minoru join him in this rescue mission.

6	The gameplay is your standard beat 'em up fare: you have three characters to choose from: [[MightyGlacier Rando]], [[FragileSpeedster Rio]], and [[JackOfAllStats Tora]], each one with their own set of special moves at your disposal. They can also pick up and fire weapons and use a Desperation Move.

10	!!''Nekketsu Oyako'' provides examples of:
11	* ActionGirl: Rio, who's as hot-blooded as her dad, fights with a shape-shifting hammer as her weapon.
12	* AllThereInTheManual: Most of the game's plot can only be found in the manual.
13	* BadassFamily: A father, daughter, and an assistant team up to beat the crap out of the evil syndicate that has kidnapped the matriarch of the family.
14	* ConsoleCameo: Depending on the version, several [=PlayStations=] or Saturns can be seen in the background of World 1. The consoles also appear as an item.
15	* DevelopersForesight: There're many consumables that restore your health, but if you're playing as Tora or Rio, trying to pick a Beer will result in a message: "Adult Only". Also, only Rando can pick and use the Bazooka (and ''only'' the Bazooka).
16	* ExcusePlot: The BigBad has abducted the matriarch of the family. Are you a hot-blooded enough family to save her?
17	* FragileSpeedster: Rio's fast but she can't take much damage.
18	* GirlishPigtails: Rio sports a pair.
19	* HotBlooded: As the title suggests, every playable character is one.
20	* JackOfAllStats: Tora's the most balanced of the playable character.
21	* MightyGlacier: Rando's slow but he does a lot of damage.
22	* MorphWeapon: Rio's hammer changes onto a fist and a palm on some attacks, [[FlippingTheBird and it can do a middle finger downward attack too]].
23	* MultipleLifeBars:
24	** Your character can have a second life bar by picking up healing items after your first bar is full. This was removed in the Saturn version.
25	** Most of the enemies have them, especially on the higher difficulties, although even in the hard difficulty, they doesn't have more than two [[spoiler:except the FinalBoss, who has three]].
26	* OneWingedAngel: After he's defeated for the first time, Herograw [[spoiler:will transform into a muscular parody of the classic superhero, complete with bright tights and a star emblem decorated cape.]]
27	* RetiredBadass: Rando's a former pro wrestler.
28	* StuffBlowingUp: There's more explosive weapons and/or scenery objects in this game that others of its genre. And some enemies can use them, too.
29	* UpdatedRerelease: The Saturn port has more animation frames for the characters and everyone has more moves. In addition to some tweaks to gameplay, this version has a remixed soundtrack and features some visual effect changes due to the Saturn being incapable of drawing translucent textures.
30	* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Rando can perform a pliedriver on his unfortunate opponents.
