The game is viewed from a side 2D view, and Joe can move up and down within the backgrounds as well as forwards and backwards.
Fighting consists of using the four basic boxing punches, the straight, the hook, the body blow, and the uppercut, to take opponents down.
During boxing matches each boxer has three health bars on screen, with the second smaller than the first and the third smaller than the second.
When a boxer's health bar is drained he gets knocked down, but can get back up.
When the third health bar is drained that boxer is knocked out and loses the match.
About Neo Geo AES
SNK's Neo Geo AES (1990) was marketed as the ultimate home arcade experience, using the same hardware as SNK's arcade cabinets — at an extraordinarily high price for both the console and its cartridges. That exclusivity is exactly why Neo Geo AES games remain among the most expensive in all of retro collecting; several titles routinely sell for well over a thousand euros in good condition.
Gamevaro tracks Legend of Success Joe for Neo Geo AES with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Legend of Success Joe to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NEO release dates back to 1991.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Legend of Success Joe, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Neo Geo AES titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
