Cool, but only fans will truly appreciate itCryinOnion2020-01-24Version 1.0

As a Kinnikuman fan, I must say that the 8th anime/manga storyline arc is one of the most dramatic (and memorable) in anime/manga. Adapted it to this game is a pretty cool idea, and consistent, cause it's the first time we'll see a tag tournament at Kinnikuman. So, nothing bad to say about the hack: Simple, but well done (new characters integrate well into the aesthetics of the game). However, it's still the same game with negative reviews, because of its poor graphics and bizarre control.

In conclusion: You don't need to be a fan of anime/manga to play this hack, but you must be a fan to appreciate it.

PS: Ironically, gold edition of this cartridge is the holy grail of collectors (only 8 copies in all the world). Wouldn't it be fun do a hack recreating this version? (Mongolman replacing Ramenman, Pentagon replacing Asuraman, Black Hole replacing Terryman, and Ninja replacing Brocken Jr.).
