Kuri Kinton Longplay (Arcade) [QHD]

[@michaeldixon780]

I have been trying to remember this game for the longest. Thanks

[@KN33GROPLS]

Try 20+ years😔😂🤦🏽

[@mustain21]

I played this game to death as a teenager, and more when i found it on MAME. Fun fact: Kuri Kinton is a popular Japanese sweet dish made with chestnuts (Kuri) and sweet potatoes, typically enjoyed during new year's eve.

[@lukewitherspoon3926]

I've heard of curry but didn't know know about that kind. Nice one. Something to snack on while playing.

[@TakCWAL]

This game was a coin sucking monster when it was released back in the late 80s. It also could not have picked a better time to be distributed across Japan, at the height of Dragon Ball & Fist of the North Star's popularity while piggybacking on the movies made during Jackie Chan's prime. This is one of those few games that hit all the right notes and then some. I was just surprised it did not see a port to the PC Engine and would only appear as part of a compilation release for the PS2 during the early 2000s.

[@Hatchyack]

The combination of Dragon Ball and Hokuto no Ken looks kinda weird but I agree with you, it was the perfect choice for the time.

[@thunderlightning1980]

Hokuto No Ken, Dragon Ball, and Kung Fu Master rolled in one.

[@selami32]

yeah i was thinking that

[@Hatchyack]

I was gonna say the same thing almost. Kung Fu gameplay, Dragon Ball main character (along with Red Ribbon Army(?) regular enemies and Tournament Saga minibosses), and Fist of the North Star bosses. The first boss I'd put as Yuda or Shin, second boss as Kaioh, third boss as Hyo or Shuu, fourth boss as Souther or Juuza, and final boss as Raoh.

[@MatthewTheWolf2029]

I can see the influence.

[@tommyguo4031]

my childhood memory!! this game actually not difficult but the final boss,

[@ombra711]

One of those soundtracks that stay with me to this very day!🥰

[@Hatchyack]

I was waiting for the final boss to raise his fist in the air and turn grey after being defeated.

[@ombra711]

Bro. same!

[@HighFalutinTootin]

This looks awesome love the aura affect and the moped entrance love it

[@regicorp6514]

These bosses have a Hokuto no Ken vibe.

[@MatthewTheWolf2029]

Especially the final boss. He looks like Raoh.

[@fighter604]

Even the beginning looks like hokuto no ken opening

[@lukewitherspoon3926]

Is anyone else grateful for simple plots and relatable characters? I miss when it was easy. Bad people tripping and good people kick their behinds.

[@senlanguna]

I know that the final boss is Kuri’s father，Kuri were rescued the investigator and his daughter.

[@somatl420]

Soundtrack this game is amazing

[@Oasis78mi]

Bosses are all taken by Hokuto No Ken: Yuda, Ryuga, Shu, Souther, Raoh, in this order. And also the girl you find in the end is clearly Lynn. :-D

[@Kyntteri]

This must be the only game, where the hero arrives with a moped (Looks like a Suzuki PV50 / Honda Monkey to me).

[@Unstoppabull]

This game discovered the different levels of Super Saiyan before Dragon Ball did

[@irreliventable]

Fistballs of the north dragon. What a strange combination.

[@ramgladore]

I thought it was Yamcha for a moment

[@erikapeng8847]

Never heard of this nostalgic game

This game was released on Nintendo Switch last week under Arcade Archives.

[@GiacomoSorbi]

You could see Hokuto no Ken villains in at least half the main bosses (Shin, Raoh, Kaiou...).

[@captRhay]

i was wondering if this was inspired or a reskin of a hokuto no ken game

[@Asterion608]

@@captRhay Or a reskin of a Dragon Ball game but it's neither. Taito just decided to make game about "Goku against the Red Ribbon Army if the RRA's generals were all Hokuto no Ken characters".

[@GiacomoSorbi]

@@Asterion608 I see much less of Kid Goku than I see of Hokuto no Ken, and not even sure the Red Ribbon army arc was published by the time this was being developed, but I admit one could spot similarities 🤔

[@theodorehsu5023]

Moai the Junior was supposed to be “Andre the Giant” I think.

[@simonebernacchia5724]

@@captRhay When i saw it Hokuto no Ken was popular in Italy (1987) and we did see lot of similarities included a supposed post-nuclear setting, plus they are talking in a similar way no how the Hokuto no Ken villains talk, mentions of Jidai (era) and similar topic, as far as i can read with my basic japanese

[@Jac2Mac]

Kuri Kinton WAS released in US arcades by World Games, but unfortunately it was a VERY lazy export as it STILL doesn't translate the Japanese dialogue before the boss fights.

[@Toraneko78]

How nostalgic! I've played it a few times in the 80s.

[@davidpleyel6557]

This music is just wonderful. I've never wanted to kick something so much in my life.

[@Spindrift]

That boss music, though

[@pedrosantana245]

I played this so much back in my taito legends 2 copy

[@lukasjozef1774]

Menudos vicios me di con este juego en los recre, pero nunca me acordaba de su nombre hasta que lo encontre en Mame, siempre me recordo este juego a la Bola del Dragon. Que buenos tiempos aquellos.

[@Tigerlord4835]

Charging up your chi also increases your attack and defense.

[@ramonantoniodejuanbennett6239]

Actually, i read in a game magazine that Kuri Kinton is originally in fact a Hokuto no Ken game based on a teenage Kenshiro's exploits against the rival school and criminal organization the Taizanji, set in the late 80s before the nuclear war, but Taito failed to secure the rights to use the Hokuto no Ken names and characters, so they had to change the names. Same exact thing with Hokuto No Ken for Sega Master System which for international release became BLACK BELT, and HNK 2: Legendary Savior becoming LAST BATTLE for the Mega Drive/Sega Genesis.

[@nesmario123]

something tells me that this was originally a shonen jump license but decided that it was easier to just make their original characters instead.

[@bradybrapples]

would make a lot of sense or they made the game on spec and a anime/manga publisher passed on getting involved with it/financing it

[@Loader2K1]

I can believe that. The main character does remind me very much of teen/adult Goku from the OG _Dragon Ball_ , not to mention the bosses look like they came right out of _Hokuto No Ken_ ( _Fist of the North Star_ ). My speculation is that Taito probably wanted to make an action/adventure/beat-'em-up game using some fight anime/manga license, but decided against it due to international audiences (I.e., Americans) being unfamiliar with such IPs at the time.

[@nesmario123]

@@Loader2K1 .... was this game even released in the us tho?

[@Loader2K1]

@@nesmario123 : I would imagine so, since an American version of the ROM exists.

what an odd ending, i wonder what the text says

I know now that the final boss is Kuri’s father，Kuri were rescued the investigator and his daughter.

[@simonebernacchia5724]

Can some japanese speaker please provide adequate translation to the dialogs ?

During the final boss fight, what did the final boss said?

Boss 3 just sit and hit Boss 4 just ulti (kamehameha) press when he flying attack you release the ulti (kamehameha) and i guess there will be "GHOST" when you stay on the line too long (not reaching the boss)

[@darkerfalcon3747]

Disable bosses message on dip switches and after defeat the king the text are in english

[@MatthewTheWolf2029]

The main character looks like Goku without the crazy hair. The bosses look like characters straight out of Fist of the North Star. And the final boss bears a resemblance to Roah.

[@christianvega12341]

The game got the fist of the north star vibe. Awesome.
