Play Hiryuu no Ken Special - Fighting Wars Online
Huge sprites make every punch land like a truck—you learn the rhythm of counters and specials while fighting boomerang guys and other oddballs. The AI kicks your butt at first, but that’s when it hooks you.
Hiryuu no Ken Special: Fighting Wars came out on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992, developed by Culture Brain. It was part of that wave of late NES releases that tried to push the hardware a little further, offering a more involved experience than some of the simpler action games from earlier in the console's life.
You control a martial artist navigating a series of side-scrolling stages, fighting various enemies with punches, kicks, and special techniques. The main goal is to defeat the boss at the end of each level and progress through the game's story. Key mechanics include screen-by-screen exploration, where new enemies appear as you move forward, and a combat system that emphasizes timing and positioning to land hits and avoid damage. The pacing is deliberate, and the difficulty is notable, requiring you to learn enemy patterns to succeed. It feels satisfying to finally overcome a tough section after learning its rhythms.
