Kung Fu NES Secrets and History | Generation Gap Gaming - I want you to think of your top 5 NES launch titles you had when you were a kid? Of course you’d immediately name classics like Super Mario Bros., Duck Hunt, or Excitebike, but I’d be willing to bet that Kung Fu made your list too because I can’t think of a single person I knew that had an NES growing up that didn’t own this game. Kung Fu is one of the true pioneers of the beat em up genre. The story behind its development and inclusion in the NES library is quite compelling and I can’t wait to share all the secrets and history you need to become a Kung Fu NES master. Let’s get started. #KungFu #NES #Nintendo #RetroForce

Kung Fu was the first game we purchased for our NES the day we bought our console. Outside of the Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt cartridge that came with it of course. Still have it in my collection. A true classic.

Great game. Love how each boss laughs differently. Neat little details:( Also really dig that tune that plays in your videos. It involves nostalgia for some reason

Kung Fu was definitely in my library of NES games. As soon as it came out on the NES, I had to have. I use to play the Kung Fu Master arcade version at the corner bar few houses next to mine. It was my favorite arcade game around 1984 or 1985. But when they made for the NES I had to have it. This and the Legend of Zelda were my favorite.

This video is incredibly timely. I actually just picked it up on Saturday for $4. The cart I bought does work, however, more often than not, I play NES on an emulator or my NES mini that I have loaded with the full catalog. Last night I played till the end of the 2nd level and then saved state. I will play some more later tonight and keep your tips in mind. Great video as always!

Being a home computer kid, I only played this in the arcades as Kung Fu Master, but this video really took me back even though I am kind of garbage at the game xD. Great video and presentation as always. I could never nail the knife-guy timings on the arcade, but I did enjoy it all the same. It's actually probably one of the last games I played 'for real' on an arcade machine too as up until about 2005, a local pub had one in the pool room along with a Super Space Invaders and a Double Dragon. If you fancy more Kung Fu, Kung Fu Master on the Gameboy is yet another different version of the game, and probably my favourite over the arcade mode. It's got more settings, and fun enemies like a Jason clone with a giant chainsaw. I always also thought that Green Beret/Rush'N'Attack and Ninjawarriors took this kind of game far further forward than Vigilante, which to me was just Kung Fu Master with slower gameplay, cheaper enemies but improved 16 bit graphics. Sidebar, it's sad that Kung Fu 2 never happened, but weirdly I've seen a Spartan X 2 doing the rounds for the Japanese Famicom? Is that a hack or the real deal?

Saturday Supercade was my favorite show back then. I'm leaning toward the Mr. X in that episode being unrelated, though. I never got the feeling that the show's writers were video game fans to the degree that they'd make a reference that elaborate. Plus, they had to invent a ton of random throwaway bad guys each week.
