Play Riki Kunio Online

Riki Kunio—this NES brawler feels like someone dropped you into the middle of a rowdy high school anime. You’re either Kunio or Riki, two guys who punch first and ask questions never. The streets are packed with delinquents, bikes get thrown at your face, and sometimes you just grab a dude and hurl him into a crowd. It’s messy, ridiculous, and weirdly satisfying.

What I love is how it doesn’t take itself seriously. One minute you’re brawling in an alley, the next you’re playing dodgeball with the same guys who were trying to kick your teeth in. The sprites have this exaggerated, cartoony style where everyone’s either scowling or screaming, and the controls are simple but just loose enough to make fights feel chaotic. If you’ve played River City Ransom, it’s like that but with less shopping and more immediate fistfights.

It’s not deep, but it’s got personality—the kind of game where you’ll laugh when you accidentally uppercut someone into a trash can. Perfect for when you want to turn your brain off and punch a motorcycle gang.
