A Konami 3D fighter that GamePro called more dud than deadly, yet one of the pricier carts of its year.
G.A.S.P!! Fighters' NEXTream is a 3D fighting game developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Osaka and published by Konami. This is the Nintendo 64 version; it came out in Japan in March 1998 and in Europe and North America that September, where it was released as Deadly Arts. The story follows fighters who each receive a mysterious letter inviting them to a legendary contest, with a champion who has disappeared.
The North American version is basically the same game as the Japanese and European ones, with slight differences, and its instructions leave out the story and the player profiles. GamePro called it more dud than deadly, and noted that the only other new fighting game that season for N64 owners was Mortal Kombat 4.

“Even given the limited competition, G.A.S.P. is rooted down at the lower end of the N64 fighter's hierarchy.”
“Gasp!! is a superb example of a game with no redeeming features. Combos are so hard to pull off that even attempting them is too much of an effort”
“If only it had been implemented better, we could have had a game that could have competed on equal terms with either.”
Undated scores are from the review table in the game's Wikipedia article, limited to reviews of the Nintendo 64 version.
Before you buy
The cartridge is among the pricier ones of 1998, and a complete copy costs several times the loose price. The Japanese and PAL releases are separate and cost far less, roughly half as much or lower, which makes them the cheaper way to own it. Fake risk is low.
