Game Overview

Super Chinese 1 and 2 Advance is basically a love letter to anyone who grew up smashing buttons on the NES. It bundles two games—the first one’s a straight-up brawler where you punch your way through screen after screen of enemies (bonus points if you rope a friend into co-op chaos). The second game sneaks in some light RPG stuff—you’ll wander towns, grind levels, and occasionally stop to figure out which NPC actually has the key you need.

The sprites are chunky and nostalgic, the music’s that perfect kind of 8-bit catchy, and the whole thing just feels like digging up an old arcade cabinet. The "Caravan" version’s a Japanese exclusive, so it’s trimmed down for quick sessions—no fluff, just jump in and start kicking. Honestly, half the fun is watching your little guy somersault into a crowd of goofy-looking enemies.

If you’ve got a soft spot for retro beat-’em-ups, this one’s a no-brainer.
