Despite all the goodies that come with the game, aside from a few fancy logos prior, you're basically playing with a ROM of Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun and little else. It's not a re-imaginging or remasters like the Sega Ages collection, for example; it's literally the arcade ROM dumped and emulated. You're Kunio, a high school student seeking revenge against a series of gangs who have been excessively bullying your classmate, Hiroshi. Once you actually succeed in defeating the highest gang member, you get the thrill of...starting from scratch and doing it all over again until you die.

It's still as hard as ever, with only one life to get through the entire game and the enemies being brutally merciless. At least you can plunk in as many credits as you like, but really, you can only win the game on one credit alone, so it doesn't matter how many tokens you decide to "insert". The controls are...a little different than I imagined. I have no idea why Kunio's jump is set to the triangle button. It's awkward and out of the way, especially when trying to jump kick. Considering the jump kick is the only saving grace to an otherwise overly taxing set of brawls. So, basically, they biffed the controls to make it somehow even MORE difficult. How 'bout that...
