Technos just astonish me. The amount of GENIALLITY they managed put in amazings games like this is just beyond my comprehesion. Fantastic video, thanks!.
I'll never understand why they didn't release this outside of Japan. This game was ahead of its time and could have been huge or at least have a strong cult following. I mean look how popular SSB or Power Stone would become in the late 90's and 2000's, this was the 8-bit version of all of that.
@Zaners It's probably influenced by the character's name given. Maybe using a different name will give you a different character type. (I'm going to assume the name you usually use gives you a Judoka, which specialises in grappling.)
@OmniscientWarrior hmm..not this especially..there was another.. waht i know, u need to run along a city,and u can pick up items,and u can hit the enemy..and oh,thee isn't only 1,like 3-4...and when a race ends,u often get a uhmm.. "map" and u need to kill the other one .:D
@hillgeri no problem, your English is good enough for me to understand. Is it "River City Ransom" ? This game was also called "Street Gangs". If not, then I might end up listing all the games like this that I can find.
A fighting game that allows up to four players to play at once, had interactive 3-Dimensional fields that allowed players to take advantage of hazards and involved a more simplistic, none-combo based combat system.
Sounds like the basic gameplay of Super Smash Bros!
Mike is a beast. I'm playing this game right now (translated of course) and Mike owns. He's the hardest of the characters in rumble mode in my opinion...
It depends mostly on the character birthdate. That determines which moves you have. Some moves require punching, some kicking, some can only be done in the air, and some require dashing or grappling. If you can't read Japanese, you should be able to find an FAQ somewhere.
@topazshot88 O.o .You and your partner must hug each other . Then you must press a button when the parameter in the red line . Then you and your partner will perform a special moves.
Kunio and the gang (first line) : Absolute Zero
Riki and the gang : Lightning Tornado
Third line (karate costume) : Wind Blade
Fourth line (judo costume) : Fire Storm
If your Level is highest,your special moves will have a better effect
Sorry for my english is still worse,because i am from indonesia not america...
@Titolin86 some special moves are done after hit the ground from a jump...it's about timing, just exactly when you hit the ground these are the moves like roling ball.....there are many others like this but this moves are done if your caracter has this ability, it's all about caracter birthday.......special moves are mentioned on left side on caracter's stats and his power, speed, defence, etc in the left side.....there are like 10 special moves in the game, but a caracter can have 3 max
THIS IS MY FAVORITE GAME IN NES WHEN I WAS A KID. I WAKE UP IN THE EVENING (SECRETLY) to play this game. i play this game for 4 years. when i was 5years up to 9 years old.
Yeah, this was one of my favorite games also, it was the best and most original games at the time, and the other 3 games in the series were also my favorites (football, hockey and sports)
today @ the office I was browsing some old nes games list on wikipedia and found riverside rescue wich has the same characters. So I rememberd this game but didn't know the name of it. some quik investigations on youtube and bingo!!! In conclusion we should all be gretfull for Youtube as .. maybe... much of our childhood memories whould remain only to that.
note, you can put lower case "yo" only after kana from the "i" column (ki, gi, shi, chi, ji, ni, hi, bi, pi, mi, ri to make kyo, gyo, sho, cho, ji, nyo, hyo, byo, pyo, myo and ryo)
I just found out about this game a few weeks ago, as well as the other Japanese Kunio-kun games like Basketball and that awesome marathon one. Now I want them all on my NES so my friends can play them 4 player. Even if I have to spend loads on Ebay to get a Famicom converter and imports, I MUST HAVE THEM!
Thanks for the video, these games really need to be known about in the west.
I'm aware that there's Netplay on some NES emulators, but I can't get Netplay to work for ZSNES and I probably will fail to get it to work in the case of Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu.
1p is something like "rakuhe" and then a fourth character I can't make out. 4p is something like "hinoyama". My kana skills fail, but that might help somehow.
You can name your character, give them a birthdate, and give them a blood type. The name determines their class (on the English version, my real name is a Street Fighter, while my YouTube moniker shortened is a Judo Fighter), the birthdate determines compatibility with partners in story mode, and the blood type determines stat focus, I think.
This game have a glitch... :)
The glich in this game will make this game more to easy

Ah, my favorite game on the Famicom/NES.
It's too bad you got stuck with the Judo character, I think they're the hardest class to use or something.. Or maybe it's just me. xD
Personally, I like using the one that Riki is, I think it's like 'Martial Artist' or something. Looks more like a street brawler to me. ^w^
Anyhow, it's good to know that other people out there appreciate an amazing 8-bit game as much as I do.

Kunio, Shibata, Ishiduki, Yamaishi
Riki, Ebihara, Mashiba, Jinnai
Himeyama, Raidou, Aoi, Anzawa
Midou, Fujikura, Suga, Ookumi
Then I'm sure you knew the tigers are called Toraichi and Toraji.

You can name your character, give them a birthdate, and give them a blood type. The name determines their class (on the English version, my real name is a Street Fighter, while my YouTube moniker shortened is a Judo Fighter), the birthdate determines compatibility with partners in story mode, and the blood type determines stat focus, I think.
