Video Games

There were two Rurouni Kenshin games released for PlayStation. Neither game has made it out of Japan.

Released on November 29, 1996 and released in the PlayStation The Best lineup on August 6, 1998. A typical fighter platformer. The player can control several characters from the anime to fight against other characters. Both Kaoru and Saito are secret characters. Zanza (not to be confused with Sanosuke) is somewhat of a secret character in that the player has to press select when highlight Sanosuke to use him.
The player progresses through six fights, the final being against Shinomori Aoshi. The game follows the first encounter with Aoshi and his group. One of the highlights of the game are the many anime cutscenes throughout the game.
Released on December 18, 1997 and was re-released in the PlayStation The Best lineup on November 5, 1998. An RPG starring a male or female character, Hijiri or Hikaru. The story is unrelated to the manga or anime. During the story the player will recruit various characters from Rurouni Kenshin including Kenshin himself. Both Saito and Aoshi are playable depending on which character the player is playing. Saito is playable in Hijiri's story and Aoshi is playable in Hikaru's. The player journeys with the Kenshin-gumi to discover the truth behind the player's character's past and defeat an evil group up to no good. Many characters from the anime make cameos during the game, including Kenshin's master Hiko and Misao.
The gameplay is a more complex version of rock-paper-scissors. Each attack can be blocked, parried, or countered unless it is the character's unblockable. At first the player can only predict a few of the enemy's moves but as the player's character levels up the player will be able to predict more moves until the player can predict all the moves the enemies will do that turn.
The battles are not party-based. The first character in the player's party will be the first and only character to attack. The player's character and the opponent will fight until one of the characters is either defeated or replaced by another character. Other fights, usually boss fights, are one-on-one. Each character is paired with a boss. The battle sprites are highly animated with every character having their signature moves. If a character defeats an enemy with one of their specials, a short cutscene will play after battle.
In the Japanese Nintendo DS game, Jump Superstars, Kenshin, Kaoru, Saito, and Sanosuke appear as fighters in the game. Kenshin is a playable fighter, Sanosuke and Saito are supporting characters, Kaoru is a helper character. They also appear in the sequel, along with the newly included Yahiko and Shishio as support characters, and Hiko Seijuro as a helper character.
Announced for the Playstation 2 console. Its Japanese release was slated at September 14, 2006 (according to GameFAQs).
The game is also the last work involving the late voice actor Hirotaka Suzuoki as Hajime Saito.
