The plot (taking some inspirations from ''Film/BlackRain'') is [[ExcusePlot charactestically threadbare]]; players assume the roles of Duke and Billy, two New York detectives on the trail of a mob boss, Casterora, who had escaped to Japan and joined forces with the local {{yakuza}}. They then team up with Ryu, a Japanese police officer and karate expert, leading to the trio kicking and punching the daylights out of the Osakan underworld.

''Burning Fight'' is a 1991 arcade action game released by Creator/{{SNK}}, and pretty much the company's response to the then-popular BeatEmUp craze in the late 80s and early 90s.

Using yet another flimsy-as-hell excuse plot; players assume the roles of Duke and Billy, two New York detectives on the trail of a mob boss, Casterora, who had escaped to Japan and joined forces with the local {{yakuza}}. They then team up with Ryu, a Japanese police officer and karate expert, leading to the trio kicking and punching the daylights out of the Osakan underworld.

This game is notably one of the early efforts of Eikichi Kawasaki, who would later on develop franchises like ''VideoGame/FatalFury'', ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'' and ''VideoGame/ArtOfFighting'' for the studios.

!! Burning Fight provide examples of:
* {{Acrofatic}}:
** Yujiro Heike, the overweight Yakuza enforcer who puts up one hell of a fight for his weight.
** The "Duffy" enemies, overweight mooks with bulging bellies but are surprisingly quick on their feet, running and slapping at you repeatedly.
* BadassBiker: Late in the game during the pier stage you'll be attacked by biker punks on their cycles, making circles around you and proving to be quite difficult to hit. The game even names them onscreen as "Cycle Gangster".
* ForkliftFu: Enemies in the warehouse will ride on these to attack your characters.
* CaneFu: Casterora, the FinalBoss, can pull some seriously flashy moves with his walking stick.
* ChainPain: You'll frequently encounter thugs swinging chains at your direction, which they'll use to smash you up.
* DieChairDie: All Bonus Stages are based on this type of vandalism, and the streets also have the occasional vending machines, oil barrels, and wooden crates that can be trashed. Heck, one area contains a piano you can smash apart!
* DualWielding: Nitou Ryuji, the Yakuza enforcer and boss atop the construction site stage wield twin katanas.
* GrievousBottleyHarm: Empty beer bottles are a recurring pickup for you to grab and smash faces with.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Two of the bosses, Yujiro and Azusa Heike, who appears to be a married couple, who shows up to attack you during the game. She's a skinny woman in a Japanese yukata, he's an overweight brute. It's even more evident when you fight them as a DualBoss late in the game.

* SimpleStaff: You can occasionally collect long, thick poles for hitting enemies with. These weapons naturally have the longest range.
* TraintopBattle: The stage in the Tokyo Metro starts with your character leaping ''upon'' a stationary train. Then it starts moving, and some mooks jumps aboard, and you're in for another fight.
* TurnsRed: Marshall, the boss of the traintop stage. He fights you while shirtless, and when you inflict enough hits on him, his body visibly emanates a red glow before he thrushes a heavy punch forward that knocks you off your feet, dealing plenty of damage in the process. Your only hope is to dodge by running.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Tom Anderson, the boss of the second stage you fight before entering the mall. He's even dressed like the stereotypical American wrestler and specializes in using grappling moves and suplexes on you.
* {{Yakuza}}: They serve as the game's recurring mooks, given the setting in Shinjuku's crime-infested district.
