Hiryu no Ken: Ougi no Shou  Culture Brain1987 consoleclassix deathpits enemyhealthdisplay hiryunoken martialarts score timelimit tutorial unarmedfighting wiiuvirtualconsole "Flying Dragon: The Secret Scroll" is a mix of beat'em up platform action game and classic 1 vs. 1 fighting game. Playability is only average but the game has some interesting aspects. For example the rather lengthy tutorial where the unusual hit-mechanism when battling opponents in the tournaments is explained. There is also a basic storyline you are following, which is a plus and wasn't often seen at the time of its release (at least the Japan release which was 2 years earlier than the US release). The fact that you had to play through the game twice to see the real "good" ending (similar as [game=#7825]Ghosts 'n Goblins[/game] handled it) left a bitter taste though.***A platformer with fighting tournaments between stages. Similar to the Master System's Hokuto no Ken (AKA Black Belt), but executed far better. Not a bad game, but the controls feel a little stiff at times.
