Ok, does anyone know of a place one could read info on all games on the series, background info on the characters, story, etc?
Maybe even some nice illustrations/pictures?

In case you don't know, matrimelee is the nTH game on the series, there are:

*Power Instinct
*Power Instinct 2
*Power Instinct "3" (small release, arcade-only, japan)
*Groove on Fight (ST-V/Titan and Sega Saturn)
*Matrimelee

Id love to find out more info on the saga!

Thanks!

I'm sure Power Instinct 1&2 were released on the Super Famicom. I know for a fact number 2 was as Goketsuji Ichizoku. Was Zoku: Bishin Densetsu a spin off from the series?

The Japanese ST-V version of power instinct 3 was just called "groove on fight" while the saturn version was called "power instinct 3: groove on fight". Don't know about the name of any US releases though.
