"Sure, it's cheesy, but the game doesn't hold back on being a jerk," that is precisely how I viewed games like this as a kid. You have to out-asshole the computer
I'll admit all I can think about with this game is the super duper early Game Grumps episode because it's one of Dan's favorite childhood games and he was just super good at it. CHOPSTICKS FLY CATCH!!!
I got this game for my birthday in July of 88. It was my favorite game back then. Of course it was my only game besides mario and duck hunt. Thanks for the vid!
I had this game as a kid, and of course I really liked it. The spear guys are pretty easy, you can actually jump on the spear without taking damage, which makes them drop the spear. I was always confused about why the girl at the end was afraid of you though, I remember if you keep going right to fight the final boss, she will fall off the cliff which makes you lose.
In Japan, The Karate Kid film is titled 「ベスト・キッド」(Best Kid) and although the NES game was developed by Japanese company Atlus Co., Ltd., it appears to have been a NA region-only game. Funny how many of these games are turning out be released for regions other than the developers' own!
Did you know that the title of the movie was taken from a DC comic character? Dont know if that was info that would've broken the flow of the episode (yes I listened to that podcast). I remember liking the first movie, the 2nd a bit less, then not watching 3 or 4/the next karate kid (the girl one), the remake, or cobra kai. I loved he lived in Reseda, because I lived in the general area when I saw this movie for the 1st time.
2 things. 1) I remember liking only the chopsticks and ice block mini games in Karate kid because it made me feel like a larusso badass. The swinging thing and the rest of the game sucked because I kept falling and getting stuck, etc... The things you reported on. 2) As for Flying Warriors, it's the only game where I bugged my mom enough to rent it for a like a month straight to try and beat it (because I was so in to it). I have played it recently. The controls are more clunky than I remember, but I guess that's what we were used to when NES was the only thing around.
The reason you say uts the rocky of a different generation is because john avildson directed both movies and jerry goldsmith and bill conti did the music for both...basical twin movies with the same two homesexual dads lol. The more you know....where kid icarus and metroid, even zeldas
Disappointed you didn't end the video by throwing the game in the toilet. Oh wait... What channel is this again? Sorry, I may have gotten you confused with one of those irate gamer guys.
One of those channels where the angry guy never gives the game a fair shake and Doesn't even care because he gets other people to play the games, capture foptage and write the reviews for him which he then reads off a teleprom..... F**k there goes the onion !
I’d really like this game, if the controls weren’t atrocious. Seriously, making jump the up button on the D-pad, for a platformer is one of the worst decisions in gaming history.

Daniel didn't save Kumiko from the bell tower in the film, he saved Yuna. However he did save her (Kumiko) in a fight to the death vs Chozen Toguchi.
Ah shit.

You must focus, Strain42-san.
I remember renting this and beating it doing exactly as you said. This was the first game that taught me to fear the rainbow!

I appreciate you make a bold move to review a game AVGN did, change the perspective, and make this looks playable 👍🏼
I liked these movies more after I moved to Japan, because they aren't called Karate Kid over there. No, he's leveled up and become Best Kid.
Great video! Looking forward to this year and what you put out there… have a great day!

You as well Mr. Chicago!

She respects that wreckless crane kick!
Happy Wednesday everyone! Focus power!
Morning Fylo!
@@NESFriend Good morning Travis. Thank you for all your effort it is appreciated and anticipated every week.

That is strange. And maybe Beast Kid would've been better, lol
@@NESFriend Wow, I am surprised that name isn't taken already by some major title. No apparent IMDB nor Wikipedia entry yet...
You don’t rescue kumico it’s the little girl on the tower. Chosen didn’t help you save her and lost his honor!
No Kungfu. 00:54 Karate. Here is Karate.
I want to write a snarky comment, but I can''t conjure one up. I think I'll play this eventually, you gave me 10 good reasons
Oops
Cobra Kai never dies!
I'm eager to see how much time it will take for the Like Podcasts? screen to be completely unlocked. Maybe after more 4 ou 5 podcasts
Say what now?
kinda wish they made it based off the first or third film. this was an ok rental
The biggest problem with this game, IMO, is that jump is up. Honwestly, if they replaced the punch buttom with jump, this game would be better.

The graphics and side scrolling action remind me of Flying Warriors. Have you done that one yet?
Not yet!

Good game and not as bad as people say but I prefer the sequel The Karate Man.
I remember hating this game when i was a kid and only wanting to play kung fu instead.

Religiously watching my ads before this. Have fun kids!
Do what now?
wat?
i noticed that this game sucks, this is the worst atlus game based off on ip ever made, atlus developers have low effort of making this game
Fr some sick, inexplicable reason, I actually enjoy this game.
Did you have it as a little Charley Barley? We often blindly love the games that raised us!
