Turns out Battle Fantasia isn't 2D after all, but sparsely animated 3D on a 2D plane. There are twelve characters in total, five button system, but this is around where we start giving up hope. Check blurry videos on youtube here and here. Hopefully this doesn't mean Hokuto no Ken is the final 2D work from Arc - if so, that's just one less company in the 2D arcade field - and the most popular one, at that.

Update: Lots more info and links in this forum post by duckroll, including a windows os crash video and screen, and a proper screenshot and lots more gameplay vids. Bootup apparently takes one minute.
