The 2nd Beast Busters game on the Hyper Neo-Geo 64 was also quite the gorefest, it was in 3D you'd blow the zombies heads off or their entire torso which would result on tons of blood gushing from the waist. It was actually pretty fun, the guns were machine guns similar to Gunblade NY which also had a rumble function.

Let's divide by genre (most arcades and few home consoles): + Fighting · Mortal Kombat series · Eternal Champions series · Samurai Shodown series - War Gods - Mace of the Dark Age - Red Earth - Time Killers - Blood Warrior - BloodStorm - Bio F.R.E.A.K.S. + Beat 'em up · Splatterhouse series - Night Slashers - BattleToads - Zombie Revenge - Wild Fangs + Run 'n Gun - N.A.R.C. - Smash T.V. - Total Carnage - S.A.R.: Search and Rescue + Rail Shooter · The House of the Dead series · Beast Busters series · Area 51 series - Zombie Raid - CarnEvil

With Haohmaru now in Soul Calibur 6, It made the game way more gory. Since Soul Calibur 4 and the addition of Critical Finishes, for the first time in the series, it is strongly suggested that now characters can die during combats, as many character's Critical Finishes will show your opponent dead on the ground (no breathing animation and motionless). Yoshimitsu basically cut his opponents head off without actually cutting off the head or Algol crushing his opponent with his throne, then again without having blood, organs and body parts splattered everywhere. It never was at the level of mortal kombat but with the addition of Haohmaru in Soul Calibur 6, for the first time in the series it actually show blood ( and quite lot of it). What make it more gut wrenching is when you use Hoahmaru's Rage Explosion Critital Edge on Talim, a sweet and purehearted 15 year old girl (She could be the equivalent of Nakoruru or Rimururu). Hoahmaru will slice her open, with her blood spewing and raining down everywhere, then she fall dead on the ground, motionless, with the camera lingering on her dead body in the background.

I have never even seen the splatterhouse arcade cabinet. I thought it was a tg16 original for years because that was the original i first saw. And to this day i havent actually seen the original arcade standup. I know it exists but it was never in any of the arcades i went to. They had all the neogeo cabinets with the blood turned off so it looked like the enemies were vomiting milk. And mortal kombat was what everyone thought was the most gorey. But it was actually pretty tame compared to other games that never got the attention it had. Tecmo knight was far more brutal than MK and so was splatterhouse. But those werent in every arcade. The only place i ever saw tecmo knight was in a flea market arcade that had a bunch of stuff i never heard of. Tecmo knight was like a brutal version of golden axe. I did play that a lot. I owned splatterhouse on tg16. And emulated the arcade version after i learned it existed. So i have played it. But i have never physically seen a splatterhouse arcade stand up. I would have clogged it with coins and wore the buttons off it if i had.

Battletoads arcade will forever be a gem because of the nut punching.

Blood Warrior is a bloody classic!

I think the most violent arcade game I've played in my life is Carnevil. Enemies would get more and more disfigured the more shot them until whatever limb you were shooting finally came off. Not to mention the terrifying enemy designs. Beast Busters second nightmare would come in second.

No quiero sonar sádica, pero Samurai showdown V es de mis favoritos precisamente por eso, o sea son armas corto punzantes manipuladas con gran fuerza, obviamente debe haber despedazados y voladero de tripas xDDDD ese detalle me decepcionó en el Samurai showdown que sacaron para PS4 (juego que no dude en comprar) pero es un poco difícil de manejar y aunque tiene sangre, no tiene eso de mostrar partidos por la mitad, y cosas así.

Beast Busters Second Nightmare was a million times more violent than the first one. Also, CarnEvil is probably the most violent arcade game ever next to Chiller.

Having never really played Red Earth, I never knew how violent it got. Then I said "Oh Shit!" out loud when Leo cleaved Hauzer down the middle like it was Happy Tree Friends, just with less blood.

It's amazing what SNK manage to get away with in SamuShoV Special.

Fact: The AES version of Samurai Shodown V is censored in Japan, due to the wake of the Sasebo slashing.

Didn't expect Altered Beast. I watch a short doc on that game. It is part of the reason the Genesis launch didn't go well. I still got it though.

Narc was a crazy arcade game.

Red Earth looks absolutely fantastic

Also, Eternal Champions Challenge From The Dark Side deserves to be on this list if any does

I've played Smash TV before, and I enjoyed that game.

Never played more than samurai shoedown (I) maybe I should check out the rest of the series.

I noticed a pattern. Dismemberment usually equals blood. Blood has to spray like a Quentin Tarantino movie. The exceptions are _Altered Beast_ (1:41) and Red Earth (6:43). I believe this is a wise and creative choice. Dismemberment is eye catching and grabs players attention. Putting a ton of blood can be a bit distracting and alienate certain audiences.

oh you are missing robocop vs terminator

Weaponlord was a fairly cult console game from the mid 90s that looked gorgeous (2000AD artist Simon Bisley did the graphics) and let you chain special attacks at the end of a fight, doing nasty things to the enemy's body. For example, you could combo the last hit into a whirling waist slash and send their guts flying, chain into an upward sweep that took their head off, blast the floor to explode their torso then sweep again to catch the falling head and shatter the skull apart. ⁰00

You forgot to put Paper Mario The Origami King where Mario grabs the jaws of a stapler dog and breaks them with his arms 😂😂

I have always thought Mortal Kombat leads in terms of graphical violence. But it seems most of the games on this list puts UMK3 fatalities to shame, which looks goofy in comparison.
