Item Condition

Game only: the cartridge in a protective holder, no box or manual. The photos are of this exact copy — look them over closely for its condition, packaging and details. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

Each room in Kung-Fu Heroes is a sealed arena. Enemies pour in, you punch and kick your way through them, and only when enough have fallen does the door at the top of the screen open to let you move on. It's a simple loop, but a satisfying one, and the steady escalation of tougher foes and new attacks keeps you pushing toward the next room.

The game began life as Chinese Hero, a 1984 arcade beat-'em-up by Nihon Game known in Japan as Super Chinese. It came to the Famicom in 1986 and reached North American NES owners in 1989 under the Culture Brain name, and its story is classic arcade fare: monsters have kidnapped a princess and stolen the treasures of the land, and two kung-fu masters return from their training to set things right.

The overhead view sets it apart from the side-scrolling brawlers most players associate with the NES. Enemies come at you from every direction, their weapons and attack patterns change as you progress, and bonus levels break up the action. A second player can join in, which turns the game into the kind of chaotic couch session where you're as likely to laugh at each other's mistakes as you are to clear the room.

Kung-Fu Heroes is also the start of something: the Super Chinese series continued on the NES with Little Ninja Brothers, and its cheerful, cartoonish martial-arts style became Culture Brain's calling card. As a quick-to-learn, hard-to-master arcade port with real two-player appeal, it's a fun piece of the NES's lesser-known martial-arts lineup.
