YMMV / Pit-Fighter

• Memetic Mutation: The phrase "Brutality Bonus" was localized into Japanese as the hilarious-sounding 残虐行為手当.^note Zangyaku Kōi Teate, lit. "Brutality Pay", which, for all practical effects, means the same thing.
• Porting Disaster: While the Genesis had a faithful port of the game, the SNES game was horrible. The graphics were extremely grainy (even by 16-bit standards), the sounds were dull, garbly, or just plain missing, and game mechanics were changed for the worse.
• Scrappy Mechanic: One of the reasons for the game's less-than-stellar reputation is the fact that the player character's health isn't refilled between fights. While clearly done to extract more money from players, it comes across as a blatant example of Fake Difficulty. Turned up to eleven in the SNES port, which combines this mechanic with having no continues or passwords.
• So Bad, It's Good: A short, trashy, and goofy brawler whose kitsch is actually part of the appeal. It's still good for a quick playthrough.
