Ghost Chaser Densei Super Nintendo
A side-scrolling brawler where six ghost hunters join forces to take down the ghosts and evil spirits that have joined a criminal syndicate.
Denjin Makai ("Lightning God Makai" - while "makai" usually means "demon", in this case the title is referring to the main character of the same name) is a 1994 Arcade game by WinkySoft and published by Banpresto in which six (or three) demon hunters - of the standard "fast and weak", "slow and heavy" and "all-rounder" mix - fight through a city to rid its streets of a crime syndicate in the near future of 2079. This syndicate has thrown in with a group of evil spirits and other demons, and so the city's officials have no other recourse than to call in experts to remove them.
The game was ported to the Super Famicom later the same year with the name "Ghost Chaser Densei", though this version had to cut down the cutscenes, reduce the number of enemies on screen and lose half the playable characters due to having limited space on the cartridge.
