Kid-friendly fighting games?

[Participant]

Might sound like an oxymoron, but I'm after a family friendly fighting game to play with my son.

I remember playing Paws of Fury back in the day with my brother and finding it hilarious.

What's out there on the PC that has couch coop?

Thanks.

Although not quite a traditional fighting game, perhaps Brawlhalla?

 

[Gray2233]

Lego Brawls perhaps?

Smash if you have a Nintendo console?

Mugen can probably do what you want, but I imagine it'll require some fiddling.

Street fighter doesn't have any gore. Maybe that?

Another vote for Gang Beasts. Had a great laugh with the kids playing that.

Mortal Kombat.

I played through Streets of Rage 4 with my 7 year old, had a great time.

Lol at Mortal Kombat yeahnah.

Thanks for all the recommendations. We had a go with Gang Beasts and it's pretty hilarious! I think we need to learn the keys as we were just grabbing and punching.

I'll work through the rest as I'm sure there are some brilliant ones in this list.

Not fighting but I really want to play Bro Force with him. Just a bit too grown up for a 7yo though!

Just checked that out. Now that has been created by someone with a sense of humour. Hilarious.

Sifu

Same to you!

 

[Delvis]

It's actually quite amusing

I would presume any of the original Tekkens or early Street Fighters would be fine?

You not heard of Sifu? It's pretty good, hard but good. On EGS. And if you go through Turkey EGS then you can get it for £3.80ish.

Yes I had but I was making a (clearly not very good) joke about it looking like stfu

Castle Crashers!!

BattleToads

More to the point, Sifu is single player so it won't be much fun playing it with your son!

Can I ask what the issue with street fighter/mortal kombat is? Kinda curious, me and my brother played anything while we were young, we ended up fine. Get him hooked on the good ones

Mortal Kombat 1 is a bit far from what it shows today bud
