The game is based on ''[[Ashita No Joe|Tomorrow's Joe]]'' (a translation of the same name above), a [[manga]] created by [[Tetsuya Chiba]] and [[Asao Takamori]] in the early 1970s, that was also adapted into several [[anime series]]. The game had a home system launch price of approximately $200 USD. The player stars as Joe Yabuki, an aspiring boxer, as he goes from an unknown kid from the rough side of town to a boxing champion. The game follows the traditional [[beat 'em up]] format, with some portions taking place inside a boxing ring and others taking place in the back alleyways, as Joe trains, fights bullies, and then fights in the boxing ring. Despite the notability of the source material, the game was reviewed very poorly and did not receive a release outside of [[Japan]]. It is widely considered one of the worst games for the Neo-Geo system, with common complaints being very poor gameplay control, inadequate graphics and poor animation on a system that was touted as not having these issues.<ref>Kazuya_UK, [http://www.neogeoforlife.com/viewpage.php?page_id=66 Review of ''Legend of Success Joe''], neogeoforlife.com, ''Accessed Jun. 02, 2007''</ref><ref>Bobak Ha'Eri, [http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/neo-reviews/legendjoe/legend.htm Review of ''Legend of Success Joe''], Neo-Geo.com, ''Accessed Apr. 23, 2006''</ref><ref>Cyril Lachel, [http://www.defunctgames.com/reviews/52/ Review of ''Legend of Success Joe''], DefunctGames.com, ''Accessed Apr. 23, 2006''</ref><ref>[http://www.djpretzel.com/blog/?page_id=19 OverClocked: Mystery Videogame Theater 3000 presents: Episode #11 - Legend of Success Joe], OverClocked.org, Feb. 28, 2000, ''Accessed Jun. 24, 2006''</ref><ref>RalfLoire, [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/neogeo/review/R52958.html Review of ''Legend of Success Joe''], GameFAQs, ''Accessed Apr. 23, 2006''</ref><ref>BMan2, [http://www.emuviews.com/reviews/reviews-98.html Review of ''Legend of Success Joe''], JoseQ Emu Views, ''Accessed Apr. 23, 2006''</ref><ref>[http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=899 5 worst games you ever played?], Neo-Geo.com, Aug. 23, 2000, ''Accessed Apr. 23, 2006''</ref><ref>[http://www.snk-capcom.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3164 Worst Neo Geo Game of All Time], SNK-Capcom.com, Sept. 27, 2003, ''Accessed Apr. 23, 2006''</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} <div class="references-small"> *[http://www.neo-geo.com/snk/masterlist.htm Neo-Geo Master List], Neo-Geo.com, ''Accessed Apr. 24, 2006'' </div> [[Category:1991 video games]] [[Category:Arcade games]] [[Category:Boxing video games]] [[Category:Neo-Geo games]] [[Category:Nintendo Entertainment System games]] [[Category:SNK games]] [[Category:Video games based on anime and manga]] {{Action-videogame-stub}} {{boxing-videogame-stub}} [[fr:Legend of Success Joe]] [[ja:あしたのジョー]]
