Legend of Success JoeTemplate:Efn is a boxing video game developed by Wave Corporation and released for the Neo Geo arcade and home system. The game is based on Tomorrow's Joe, a manga created by Tetsuya Chiba and Asao Takamori in the early 1970s that was also adapted into several anime series. The game is also the first Neo Geo title developed by a third-party company. The game had a home system launch price of approximately US$200.
Gameplay

The player stars as Joe Yabuki, an aspiring boxer, as he goes from an unknown kid from the rough side of town to a boxing champion. The game follows the traditional beat 'em up format, with some portions taking place inside a boxing ring and others taking place in the back alleyways, as Joe trains, fights thugs, and then fights in the boxing ring.
Reception
In Japan, Game Machine listed Legend of Success Joe on their August 15, 1991 issue as being the tenth-most successful table arcade unit of the month, outperforming titles such as Hat Trick Hero.[1] It received negative reviews and is widely considered one of the worst games for the Neo Geo, with common complaints being poor controls, graphics and animation on a system that was touted as not having these problems.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
