Subtitled ‘New Generation Vs Legends.’ Kinikuman is an alien prince whose escapades are detailed in the Shonen Jump manga. This is a whacked out wrestling game with both story and tournament modes that could teach the WWF games a half nelson or two.

Shrunk down sprite characters look good on the small screen with some great avatars to show the emotion behind the wrestling masks.

Super Famicom

A clever cross between a golf and bowling game where Kirby bashes into adversaries eventually the defeated boss turning into a hole. The control is very simple yet in true Nintendo tradition, the gameplay excels. Superb stuff.

Kunio’s charm comes to the dodgeball court as players avoid being hit by the ball in arenas such as the ice of Iceland, waters of the Taj Mahal, Mount Fuji and London with Big Ben in the background. Classic retro gaming in a very cult series.
GameBoy Advance

Compilation of two Kunio Kun games: dodgeball and basketball. Dodgeball is similar to ‘kingy’ in the UK: throw a ball at your opponents. Hit them and they take damage until turning into an angel and floating up to heaven. Unfortunately each team has a big bruiser far from being an angel, complete with powerful super move. Kunio and his motley crew add a great deal of fun to an otherwise limited genre. Starting under the gaze of Mount Fuji and the cherry blossom, a victory brings a trip to Naxat International for a flight (on Naxat Airlines) to London complete with Beatles style chip music. Next: a trip to Iceland complete with penguins. The basketball is set at a US Military base and being able to kick and punch somewhat changes the flow of the games a crucial times. And with multiple baskets, being able to score in your own net and teams with teleport powers, theres never a dull moment. Feels like a title made by gamers for gamers though.

Compilation of two more Kunio Kun games: Sports Day and Soccer. Sports Day has track & field events spiced up by the ability to throw punches, bottles and even bowling balls during your rivals attempts. Soccer allows players to enjoy the fierce rivalry of rather over competitive football between Japanese high school teams. Similar to the Neo Geo classic Soccer Brawl in terms of the violent challenges possible. Pretty difficult to track down as the games star and biker gang look-a-like Kunio Kun has a strong following in Japan.

Brutality on the pitch as players slug and kick it out for possession with the referee seemingly missing in action. The ball can be chipped up to set up an overhead or at least try and avoid an onrushing defenders attention.

Old school nostalgia in this Japanese anime charting the story of young Hoshi as he battles through gruelling training and beatings from his strict father to become a pitcher for the Tokyo Giants.

Intriguing twist on the football scene in that players take a third person perspective view of their teams star man and play the 90 minutes as that single player. Give and go or risk being subbed off after thirty minutes.
