I've been on a martial arts mood recently, played some Karate Kid on NES and had some fun, also some Jackie Chan on PS1 and the arcade tournament fighter, all fun titles to me. It seems that in the 90's martial arts were a big deal, especially with Karate Kid, Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. What more should I play? I'm thinking of a Kung Fu Master marathon with the arcade title, NES port and the NES sequel aswell, there's also a Jackie Chan platformer on NES and PC Engine, that should keep me busy, but what after that?Also, post about whatever you guys have played and give your reviews, it's fun hearing what everyone here thinks about these titles. Also, any more actors from around this time besides Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan you guys liked? Feels like I missed someone.
>>12524086>It seems that in the 90's martial arts were a big deal, especially with Karate Kid, Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.Yeah, definitely true. It's one of the many reasons Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat took off like they did beyond the games themselves. In turn, those games being popular also drove a lot of people deeper into martial arts. >>12524086>Feels like I missed someone.I'm guessing you're thinking of Jean-Claude Van Damme. He was a big deal in the 90s, Mortal Kombat even began as a Van Damme game but they couldn't get the rights to use him.
>no steven seagal gamewe were robbed
>>12524086There's a really janky fighting game RPG hybrid for the PSX called "Shaolin". You pick a fighting style in the story mode and I think each style has its own little story. IIRC it had some ridiculous 8 player versus mode you could do with two multi-taps too.10,000 Bullets has a character you unlock eventually who rather than guns uses a big fyling jump kick and other kung fu stuff.
>>12524104Nah, we were blessed
You oughta play Yie Ar Kung Fu, the grandaddy of street fighter
>>12524086I hate to be that guy but God Hand is made by huge martial arts fans. Theres tons of bruce lee, jackie chan, boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, karate. Its like the ultimate martial arts game to this day thats not Tekken because of how many martial arts references there are.
>>12525062When is the last time Tekken was a martial arts game?
>>12525084idk Tekken 4?
>>12524086Jet Li's Rise to Honor and Urban Reign.
>>12524086>seems like in the 90s martial arts was popular70s nostalgia. the kids that grew up in the 70s watching schlocky imported kung fu movies had grown up and gotten into media creation, so were putting major western budgets into trying to replicate it. Jackie Chan was in the twilight of his career in Hong Kong when he took the Rush Hour job, which basically revitalised his acting career
>>12524086Play Tekken 3, master Law (Bruce Lee) and Lei (Jackie Chan) movesets, lots of kung fu movie references in them
