“Of course I’m very happy to be singing the theme song, but I’m happiest of all to be a part of the Namco Stars, the team that I’ve loved to play as since I was in grade school.” – MCU

The Famicom port probably didn’t deliver the experience that big fans of the arcade version wanted, but it succeeded on its own merits.
This is by no means a perfect port of the original arcade version of Kunio kun, but it feels like that was never really the intent behind it.
While this sequel was a step in the right direction, gaming was just too immature to be able to create a truly satisfying Hokuto no Ken beat-em-up experience at this point.
Though Spartan X began as an arcade game, time seems to have remembered the Famicom version a little bit better.
