Play Wu Shi Hun (Samurai Shodown) Online

Wu Shi Hun (Samurai Shodown) on NES is one of those old-school beat 'em ups that feels rough around the edges but has its own charm. Based on the Jackie Chan movie "Island of Fire," it throws you into a prison riot with stiff controls and basic combat—punches, kicks, and the occasional weapon pickup. The sprites are blocky, and the hit detection can be frustrating, but there's something oddly satisfying about clearing a screen of enemies with a well-timed jump kick.

The first few minutes are a blur of figuring out how to move without getting stuck on scenery or swarmed by inmates. The music has that classic NES chiptune energy, though it loops pretty quickly. It’s not the deepest fighter, but if you grew up with these kinds of games, Wu Shi Hun (Samurai Shodown) has that nostalgic, janky appeal.
