The Castella family from the Metro City started ruining the peaceful city of Osaka with the violent Japanese group, "Heiwa-gumi". To stop the fight, Metro police detectives dispatched two dangerous characters, Duke and Billy, to Japan. With the support of the famous Japanese detective Ryu, they decided to rush into the enemy's fortress. Ruthless violence in the neon lights of Osaka. Will there be an end to this war?
Burning Fight is a side-scrolling street-fighting game similar to Final Fight. As Duke, Billy, or Ryu, you must fight your way through the various locations in Osaka. At the start of the game, you can only use your fists to deal with gangs, but by breaking things like phone booths and street signs along the way, you can get new weapons and more health. At the end of each location, you will have to defeat a boss in order to continue the mission.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a beat 'em up action game where players control one of three detectives. They must fight their way through various urban environments in Osaka to dismantle a powerful crime syndicate. The goal is to defeat bosses and ultimately bring down the combined Casterora and HeiwaGumi families.
Story
Story
For many years, the Casterora Family, a huge crime syndicate, literally ruled over the streets of New York with overpowering control. Two police detectives named Duke Edwards and Billy King fought against the syndicate for years trying to bring to justice the leaders of this murderous clan. Then, just when Duke and Billy were closing in on the family, the Casterora's fled the country to Japan.
Word has it that the Casterora's have now joined forces with another crime family, the HeiwaGumi, and have produced a powerful team of modern day gangsters that now control most of Osaka. Their looting and criminal activities have reached uncontrollable proportions and the one concerned detective, Ryu Saeba cannot overthrow the combined forces of the two families on his own.
This is the action packed, vandalous story of 3 detectives joining together to "once and for all" rid the world of these violent criminals. Can the endless funds of the Casterora's and the HeiwaGumi be depleted? Or will the massive forces of these ruthless criminals defeat the tons of Duke, Billy, and Ryu? One thing is for certain... this 54 megs of jaw crushing, leg breakin, head bustin, battle of guys vs, bad will drag you into one hell-uva BURNING FIGHT!
