==Ports and related releases==
The arcade game was also ported for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] as well as becoming a Japan-only game for the [[TurboGrafx-16|PC Engine]], [[Sharp X68000]], and [[FM Towns]] in 1990. The PC Engine version was later re-released for the [[Wii Virtual Console]] only in Japan. In 1998, ''Image Fight'', along with another arcade game by Irem, ''[[X-Multiply]]'', was released only in Japan as a one-disc double-bill for the [[Sony]] [[PlayStation]] and the [[Sega Saturn]], titled AG Arcade Gears Image Fight & X-Multiply.

The arcade game was followed by ''Image Fight II: Operation Deepstriker'', a sequel for the [[TurboGrafx-16|PC Engine Super CD-ROM²]] in 1992 exclusively in Japan. Like the PC Engine version of the first game, ''Image Fight II'' was re-released for the [[Wii U Virtual Console]] in Japan in 2015 and for the first time in the United States in February 2018 for both games.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/imagefight-wii-u/|title=IMAGEFIGHT for Wii U - Nintendo Game Details|website=www.nintendo.com|language=en-US|access-date=2020-04-09|archive-date=2020-11-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201130104718/https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/imagefight-wii-u/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/imagefight-2-wii-u/|title=IMAGEFIGHT 2 for Wii U - Nintendo Game Details|website=www.nintendo.com|language=en-US|access-date=2020-04-09|archive-date=2020-11-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201129020156/https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/imagefight-2-wii-u/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/titles/20010000015767 イメージファイト | Wii U | 任天堂] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180918054656/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/titles/20010000015767|date=2018-09-18}},  nintendo.co.jp, ([https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&nv=1&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=auto&sp=nmt4&tl=en&u=https://www.nintendo.co.jp/titles/20010000015767&usg=ALkJrhi0xJyWrpGERuVoq4jA5MJNAV1NoQ Translated])</ref><ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/titles/20010000020188 イメージファイトII | Wii U | 任天堂] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180918054531/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/titles/20010000020188|date=2018-09-18}},  nintendo.co.jp, ([https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&nv=1&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=auto&sp=nmt4&tl=en&u=https://www.nintendo.co.jp/titles/20010000020188&usg=ALkJrhhXX2IN5KYZrcYwnobSwtAXWdRiag Translated])</ref> ''Image Fight II'' and its PC Engine predecessor also made their European debut in February 2018.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/TurboGrafx/ImageFight--1335146.html|title=ImageFight™|website=Nintendo of Europe GmbH|language=en-GB|access-date=2020-04-09}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/TurboGrafx/ImageFight-II-1335147.html|title=ImageFight II|website=Nintendo of Europe GmbH|language=en-GB|access-date=2020-04-09}}</ref>
