G.A.S.P!! Fighters' NEXTream (ガスプ!! ファイターズ ネクストリーム, Generation of Arts, Speed and Power), known in North America as Deadly Arts, is a 1998 fighting game developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Osaka and published by Konami for the Nintendo 64. The story follows a series of fighters that have each received a mysterious letter to compete in a legendary contest, and about a champion that has disappeared. The story and the player profiles do not appear in the instructions for the North American version; except for the title, it is basically the same as the Japan and Europe versions, with slightly changed voice messages, and different character nameplates.

What the critics said
Matt Casamassina of IGN noted the "stale, sub-first-generation graphics, terrible control and detestable framerates."
— IGN, 1998 (Matt Casamassina)
Next Generation said that the game was "not only a crappy fighting game but a sad excuse for a game in general. Bad graphics, bad control, and utterly generic designs all add up to an experience you'll want to miss at all costs."
— Next Generation, 1999
GamePro said that the game was "more dud-ly than deadly, and that's a shame because the only other new fighting game this season for N64 owners is Mortal Kombat 4."
— GamePro, 1998
