Dual Heroes (デュアルヒーローズ) is a fighting game exclusively for the Nintendo 64 released in 1998 (1997 in Japan). Often mocked and criticised, it took out the title of "Worst Game Ever" when a poll was run by an Australian Nintendo magazine (Nintendo Gamer, formerly N64 Gamer). The game's poor quality was attributed in part to the poor AI, which often sent your enemy running with a devil-may-care attitude over the edge of precipices and to their deaths in chase of the player's character.
Story
120 years ago, in preparation for the coming doom, mankind began an exodus to the manmade satellites in outer space. But the "Day of Judgment" arrived even before half the population had escaped to space. The shift in the tectonic plate caused the shape of the Pacific Ocean to change and a new continent was created.
After a 100 years, the only inhabitable area were limited to the area around the new Pacific Ocean and the new continent. New nations were founded on this continent and mankind began rebuilding their lives. In the midst of rebuilding, "Gaiathyst" a mineral which releases an energy similar to gravity was discovered as a new source of endless energy.
The nations began to war with each other for domination, but conventional weapons were found useless due to the influence of the Gaiathyst. To fight under these conditions, the power suits used to mine Gaiathyst were improved for combat. But the "Gaiathyst War" came to an abrupt end by the invading forces of the Zodgierra Empire from outer space.
After conquering the nations, Emperor ZORR creates the "SAP", a super gravity producing device. Orbiting over the new continent, the super gravity of the device, prohibits beings not wearing a power suit to exist under it. Protected by the super gravity, ZORR commands his empire from a tower under the SAP.
A few brave make a stand to defeat ZORR. They are the true Heroes!
Characters Ending Story (Hudson Soft Version)
At last Zorr is defeated and once again peace prevails overthe lands. But the question still remains as to the nature of Gezorr and if the evil essence which was Gezorr has been truly destroyed. And so the battle of the Heroes continues...
Characters Ending Story (Electro Brain Version)
At last ZORR and the Zodgierra empire is defeated but what had caused ZORR to transform into GEZORR? Was it some evil energy instilled within the Gaiathyst? if so, then what will happen to me. Will the Gaiathyst in my power suit transform me into an evil creature? I must find the answer. Until then, my battle is not truly over.
