Of course, Fusion R Gamer is a retro-based site, I mean the “R” is right there! So, with that in mind, you might think that an upcoming new game for modern formats would sit outside of our remit. Well, The Karate Kid: Street Rumble may be a new game, but its credentials are decidedly retro.

First off, The Karate Kid: Street Rumble is based on a film from 1984, and secondly, the game itself is a 16-bit style 2D side-scrolling beat ‘em up, which is a genre very much in our wheelhouse.





The first video game to be based on The Karate Kid was released by LJM, for the NES, back in 1987.


This new game, The Karate Kid: Street Rumble, is being developed by Game Mill Entertainment and is scheduled to be released on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch on 20th September 2024.

It certainly looks more fun than painting the fence!

I've been playing video games since the 1980s, from the 8-bit era onwards. I have had to play one-handed following a stroke in 2014, and I blog about playing games with one hand.
