Item Description

Picture an NES role-playing game where every ambush turns into a real-time punch-and-kick brawl, and a friend on the second controller can jump in to fight beside you. That is the unusual pitch of Little Ninja Brothers, Culture Brain's 1990 North American release of the game known in Japan as Super Chinese 2. The young martial artists Jack and Ryu set out to learn why the villain Blu Boltar has invaded Chinaland, and their quest blends a classic overhead adventure with arcade-style action in a way very few 8-bit games attempted.

Between fights it plays like a light RPG: you roam the world map, visit towns, build up experience and money, and outfit the brothers with better gear and items for the road ahead. When enemies appear, though, the menus give way to hands-on combat where timing your strikes and jumps matters far more than picking commands from a list. Bring a second player along and Jack and Ryu tackle the adventure together, a cooperative RPG setup the NES almost never offered.

In the West it is the middle chapter of Culture Brain's Super Chinese series, following the straight arcade action of Kung-Fu Heroes and leading into Super Ninja Boy on the Super NES, which carried the same mix of RPG exploration and brawling forward. The bright, chunky character art and breezy, cartoonish tone gave it a big appeal for younger players at the time, and GamePro even serialized a manga adaptation of the game in its early issues.

Today it plays like a glimpse of an idea that arrived early: a two-player action RPG hybrid with a light heart and a quick pace. It is an offbeat, good-natured adventure that makes a fun weekend project for two players on original hardware.
