Play Kunio-kun no Jidaigeki dayo Zenin Shuugou! (Japan) Online

Technos Japan Corp. released Kunio-kun no Jidaigeki dayo Zenin Shuugou! for the Game Boy in 1994. It was a period piece for the Kunio-kun series, transplanting its familiar cast of street brawlers into a comical samurai setting. On a system filled with straightforward platformers and RPGs, this game offered a distinct mix of exploration and cooperative combat, a familiar yet altered experience for fans of the developer's earlier work.

You control Kunio, or a friend in two-player mode, navigating screen by screen through villages and enemy strongholds. Your main goal is to rescue kidnapped allies by fighting through waves of rival fighters and ninjas. Signature mechanics include using a wooden sword for close combat and a bow for attacking enemies from a distance. The pacing is brisk, with frequent enemy encounters, and the difficulty can spike unexpectedly in later areas. It feels like a condensed, portable brawl that retains the series' characteristic chaos.
