Kiyaaaa! Defeat the evil warlord Akuma (which means DEMON in JAPANESE) and rescue the hot girl, Princess Mariko (but don't let her kick you in the junk).
WELL THERE'S A NEW ONE COMING OUT

That logo is incredibly bad-ass! I miss this kind of boxart. That remake looks wtf-bad ..
fake edit: SERIOUSLY LOOK AT IT
-
what the fuck? who the hell asked for this?
-
That original box art is seriously one of the most fuckin awesome things to ever sit on a computer store shelf. It looks like Drew Struzan painted it.
-
LOL @ the new one
-
The original game was bloody tough. Nice touch on how the opponent would always return your bow, though. Twas a cultured fight!
-
At least it looks slightly better than the upcoming Double Dragon II remake
-
Double Dragon Neon wishes it was half as fuckin awesome as this

THE LOST '80s MASTERPIECE OF TAEKWONDO ANTI-SANITY RETURNS

Why did we stop putting ninjas in movies? Truly the moment this country started going downhill.

is this shit real?
-
Hope there is some facial animation ala Street Fighter 4, but that dude what is about to lay down a bitch slapping seems awfully stoic about it...
either way, china and japan are basically the same thing, so the change doesn't bother me.
-
That shit IS real, it's as real as the DEADLY KILLING POWER OF TAEKWONDO

I need to see this SO BAD.
-
I played the original a ton back in the day on the Apple IIe.
Is there a reason that the game looks like it's set in China?
Karate is Japanes- oh fuck it.
-
what the fuck? who the hell asked for this?
Me.
-
what the fuck? who the hell asked for this?
Me.
then you are a horrible person

Likely true.

Man the first game was hard as shit.
This and Fung Fu were some of my favorite NES games
-
I played it on Apple //e, same as Herr Gundam.
I remember the first time I cleared the last enemy, and approached the princess. I didn't know to not stay in a fighting stance, man, I couldn't believe what happened. :lol
-
I remember at the very beginning of the game, when you climb up the cliff onto land, starting your journey, you can turn around and plummet to your death. My friends and I thought that was pretty funny.
-
Apple II (via the IIgs) for me too. Thought the game was hard as hell and never did beat it.
Then later on this new game called "Prince Of Persia" came out and I wondered why the Karateka guy was in ancient Persia. :P
-
Shit, it looks like Jordan Mechner is actually involved as opposed to just rubber-stamping it.
You all should read his book, it's awesome as fuck.

Jordan Mechner was also involved in the Prince of Persia movie. Just sayin'.

Demo was like Infinity Blade. You move forward, fight dude in Punch Out rhythm style combat, move on to next dude.
I like that the game opens by telling you to turn off video processing junk to reduce input lag. I wish all games had something like Rock Band to calibrate for whatever lag the display introduces. Um Jammer Lammy is nigh unplayable on the PS3 (due to the PS1 emulator, I think).

got my stick modded for this game

OMG, I used to have that joystick. It really sucked. It had little trim adjusters under it, IIRC. It was always becoming misaligned.
