Play SD Hiryu no Ken Online

SD Hiryu no Ken is one of those SNES games that makes you grin the second you press start. You pick your tiny, big-headed warrior (I always go for the samurai—his sword reach is ridiculous) and immediately dive into these colorful, chaotic streets full of equally tiny goons to smack around. The controls just click—no awkward delays, just crisp slashes and over-the-top special moves that send enemies flying like ragdolls.

It’s got that arcade energy but shrunk down into this weirdly charming chibi world where even the explosions look cute. The first time you pull off a spinning dragon punch and watch some clown go sailing offscreen, you’ll get it. Not the deepest fighter out there, but who cares when it’s this much dumb fun? Perfect for when you want something fast, flashy, and a little silly.

Seriously, if you missed this one back in the day, it’s like finding a lost Saturday morning cartoon where everyone fights.
