    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    • @Loader2K1
      @Loader2K1 3 роки тому +2

      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.
