I wasn't sure what to expect from this, but it turns out Kuri Kinton is pretty awesome. It's very much inspired by Irem's Kung-Fu Master, but what sets this apart is its sense of humour, graphics and animation. It seems the game was released only in Japan, or at least there's no full English translation, so it's difficult to understand the conversations with the bosses, but information available online indicates the player assumes the role of a Chinese police officer, who must venture into the underground base of a criminal gang in order to rescue a senior member of the force and his daughter.
The gameplay is pretty straightforward: follow the direction of the arrow shown in the top-left of the screen and beat up the bad guys who stand in your way. You have a range of punches and kicks at your disposal, plus a fireball attack, which requires time to charge up; releasing the button too soon results in the hadoken fizzling out with a pop, much to the consternation of the hero!
Provided you can stand still long enough, the hero will summon his inner Chi to create an over-shield to protect from enemy attacks. It's possible to summon up to three levels of shield, which you really want to keep up for as long as possible, especially when it comes to fighting the game's many bosses.
Kuri Kinton isn't a title you're likely to return to that often, but if you've never played it before, but it's quirkiness means it's definitely worth taking the time to try it out.

Hokuto No Ken, Dragon Ball, and Kung Fu Master rolled in one.
yeah i was thinking that
I was gonna say the same thing almost. Kung Fu gameplay, Dragon Ball main character (along with Red Ribbon Army(?) regular enemies and Tournament Saga minibosses), and Fist of the North Star bosses. The first boss I'd put as Yuda or Shin, second boss as Kaioh, third boss as Hyo or Shuu, fourth boss as Souther or Juuza, and final boss as Raoh.
I can see the influence.
I played this game to death as a teenager, and more when i found it on MAME.
Fun fact: Kuri Kinton is a popular Japanese sweet dish made with chestnuts (Kuri) and sweet potatoes, typically enjoyed during new year's eve.
I've heard of curry but didn't know know about that kind. Nice one. Something to snack on while playing.
I have been trying to remember this game for the longest. Thanks
Try 20+ years😔😂🤦🏽
This game was a coin sucking monster when it was released back in the late 80s. It also could not have picked a better time to be distributed across Japan, at the height of Dragon Ball & Fist of the North Star's popularity while piggybacking on the movies made during Jackie Chan's prime. This is one of those few games that hit all the right notes and then some. I was just surprised it did not see a port to the PC Engine and would only appear as part of a compilation release for the PS2 during the early 2000s.
The combination of Dragon Ball and Hokuto no Ken looks kinda weird but I agree with you, it was the perfect choice for the time.
These bosses have a Hokuto no Ken vibe.
Especially the final boss. He looks like Raoh.
Even the beginning looks like hokuto no ken opening
Bosses are all taken by Hokuto No Ken: Yuda, Ryuga, Shu, Souther, Raoh, in this order. And also the girl you find in the end is clearly Lynn. :-D
I was waiting for the final boss to raise his fist in the air and turn grey after being defeated.
Bro. same!
my childhood memory!! this game actually not difficult but the final boss,
This looks awesome love the aura affect and the moped entrance love it
One of those soundtracks that stay with me to this very day!🥰
This game discovered the different levels of Super Saiyan before Dragon Ball did
Is anyone else grateful for simple plots and relatable characters? I miss when it was easy. Bad people tripping and good people kick their behinds.
I know that the final boss is Kuri’s father,Kuri were rescued the investigator and his daughter.
This must be the only game, where the hero arrives with a moped (Looks like a Suzuki PV50 / Honda Monkey to me).
Fistballs of the north dragon. What a strange combination.
This music is just wonderful. I've never wanted to kick something so much in my life.
That boss music, though
Never heard of this nostalgic game
Soundtrack this game is amazing
This game was released on Nintendo Switch last week under Arcade Archives.
How nostalgic! I've played it a few times in the 80s.
You could see Hokuto no Ken villains in at least half the main bosses (Shin, Raoh, Kaiou...).
i was wondering if this was inspired or a reskin of a hokuto no ken game
@@captRhay Or a reskin of a Dragon Ball game but it's neither. Taito just decided to make game about "Goku against the Red Ribbon Army if the RRA's generals were all Hokuto no Ken characters".
@@Asterion608 I see much less of Kid Goku than I see of Hokuto no Ken, and not even sure the Red Ribbon army arc was published by the time this was being developed, but I admit one could spot similarities 🤔
Moai the Junior was supposed to be “Andre the Giant” I think.
@@captRhay When i saw it Hokuto no Ken was popular in Italy (1987) and we did see lot of similarities included a supposed post-nuclear setting, plus they are talking in a similar way no how the Hokuto no Ken villains talk, mentions of Jidai (era) and similar topic, as far as i can read with my basic japanese
Actually, i read in a game magazine that Kuri Kinton is originally in fact a Hokuto no Ken game based on a teenage Kenshiro's exploits against the rival school and criminal organization the Taizanji, set in the late 80s before the nuclear war, but Taito failed to secure the rights to use the Hokuto no Ken names and characters, so they had to change the names.
Same exact thing with Hokuto No Ken for Sega Master System which for international release became BLACK BELT, and HNK 2: Legendary Savior becoming LAST BATTLE for the Mega Drive/Sega Genesis.
Kuri Kinton WAS released in US arcades by World Games, but unfortunately it was a VERY lazy export as it STILL doesn't translate the Japanese dialogue before the boss fights.
I thought it was Yamcha for a moment
I played this so much back in my taito legends 2 copy
what an odd ending, i wonder what the text says
Charging up your chi also increases your attack and defense.
10:07 André the Giant enters the Room!
Jadi inget 30 tahun yang lalu
Main dengan coin, pulang sekolah langsung gas, ke Rama kresna...
Moga teman2 sehat semua yang masih nonton video ini.
something tells me that this was originally a shonen jump license but decided that it was easier to just make their original characters instead.
would make a lot of sense
or they made the game on spec and a anime/manga publisher passed on getting involved with it/financing it
I can believe that. The main character does remind me very much of teen/adult Goku from the OG _Dragon Ball_ , not to mention the bosses look like they came right out of _Hokuto No Ken_ ( _Fist of the North Star_ ). My speculation is that Taito probably wanted to make an action/adventure/beat-'em-up game using some fight anime/manga license, but decided against it due to international audiences (I.e., Americans) being unfamiliar with such IPs at the time.
@@Loader2K1 .... was this game even released in the us tho?
@@nesmario123 : I would imagine so, since an American version of the ROM exists.
En Argentina tambien rompio todo en su momento. Karate kung Old School
I know now that the final boss is Kuri’s father,Kuri were rescued the investigator and his daughter.
Can some japanese speaker please provide adequate translation to the dialogs ?
That's a great video 👍
He looks like Yamcha
X2
Boss 3 just sit and hit
Boss 4 just ulti (kamehameha) press when he flying attack you release the ulti (kamehameha)
and i guess there will be "GHOST" when you stay on the line too long (not reaching the boss)
I didn't know it, thanks
a dragon ball looking martial arts guy rides in on a moped and kicks the crap out of what looks like spandex wearing goons and professional wrestlers while shouting "ho, ha, hai!" in what looks like a really bad subterranean kareoke bar (where they sell mdma behind the counter?)
Why haven't we seen a thousand sequels and multiple movie adaptations?!
During the final boss fight, what did the final boss said?
Came here for the thumbnail, because everyone wants to see Andre the Giant in a videogame!
Disable bosses message on dip switches and after defeat the king the text are in english
The game got the fist of the north star vibe. Awesome.
riconosco appieno lo stile fine anni '80 anche se proprio non ricordo questo gioco
The main character looks like Goku without the crazy hair. The bosses look like characters straight out of Fist of the North Star. And the final boss bears a resemblance to Roah.
Inspiración en Dragon Ball...me llamaba mucho la atención en su época por eso mismo.
I ve played this game since I was a boy
Music is definitely inspired by Shao-lin's Road
What's that?
@@user-ng9gd4vl9s Also known as Kicker by Konami.
Cool
10:07 Hey! It's André The Giant!
Could also be a Hispanic woman I see in Wal-Mart...
What kind of epic is this in a one-coin game?
And here the dificult is turn in VERY EASY with the Dipswitchs. If you try on Nomal game be carefull...
Too bad i cant read japanese...
The UA-camr known as Janet made a playthrough video of this game with English subtitles, albeit the English is broken as all hell ( ua-cam.com/video/uumFyzCcPrE/v-deo.html ).
Our captivity is ending AHAYAH has redeemed Jacob
1:19 Whatahell is Bruce Lee doing there?
Yamcha ???
Looks like Yamcha!!
Kung Fu is that you??? But yeah the music is pretty good for 1988 Arcade FM.
lol, when i was a kid i tried so many times ...but didn't have much money. I would get to 3rd and 4th boss everytime then i get myself killed
覇王の倒しかたがウェーブから逃げて消えてから反撃をいれる方法があったんですね。自分はウェーブ出すまで削ったら斜めレバー入れ小ジャンプキック連続でやってましたがこっちの方が確実ですね。
Looks similar to Hammerin Harry
So uhm, what happens at the end?=)
The hero goes on to have a successful law practice and then starts his own space harem to finally conquer the pokemon empire avenging the death of his father at the hands of the dark lord of tennis.

童年回憶😳👍
Looking at thumbnail I thought you play as Andre the Giant knock off. Turned out he just an enemy and you control some dime-a-dozen generic manlet.
*Im not dragon ball ! : The game.*
So, basically, Kung-fu Master!
The adventures of yamcha 🤣🤣🤣
I'm your father
かめはめ波!

動作不熟練,像新手剛玩
this game sucks do the enemies even attack
Well, if you played the game you would know the enemies do attack. But to progress in the game, you can't let them hit you.
First
