Review by: C. M0use
Another questionable Virtual Console choice from Nintendo, Urban Champion puts you in the shoes of some blue-haired drunkard as you endlessly brawl with some green-haired drunkard downtown. Think a really primitive and clunky version of Street Fighter, and you're most of the way there. Administering socks to the face and gut while blocking the jabs of your foe, you try to push him back across three screens and into an open manhole where he presumably falls to his horrible death, only to revive and start the whole mess over again. And over again, and over again, until you decide to shut off the console. This is an awful game with no redeeming value, and should be avoided.
