Description
Action game featuring Jackie Chan battling criminals in the streets of Hong Kong, Japanese version. Published by Hudson Soft, released in Japan in 1991. Jackie Chan in side-scrolling view with varied martial arts. Japanese Famicom adaptation with the Jackie Chan license.
The Japanese Famicom action game from Hudson Soft under the Jackie Chan license, distinct from the Action Kung Fu platformer released in the West, this title stands out for its Hong Kong urban setting and street-fighting bent. Published by Hudson in 1991, it stays reachable for importers but never appeared outside Japan, making it a sought addition for collectors tracking the Jackie Chan license on Famicom. Frequent confusion with the Western game sustains a distinct appeal.
Is Jackie Chan still worth playing in 2026?
An action game from Hudson Soft, Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu has Jackie Chan fight through colourful levels full of enemies, with kicks, punches and acrobatics inspired by martial arts cinema. The fluidity of the animation, the variety of moves and the cheerful art direction carry a polished, snappy action platformer. The pleasant handling still appeals. For a fan of retro action or someone curious about Hudson productions, the title keeps a dynamic character and a bouncy charm.
