Cho Aniki was originally released for the first time for the
PC Engine system in 1992. Even if the cast of characters is the same,
the game type has changed and this version is not a shooter,
but rather a fighting game. Therefore our bald friends, Ideran and Beran,
are back and will personnally be dealing with the baddies,
in one-on-one fights. Except for this change in the game's design,
all the Cho Aniki ingredients are reunited here : men showing off their
huge muscles and their little clothing, and weird but truely
amazing mechanical designs. Other characters from the original
game as also playable, and it is interesting to notice the
introduction of female fighters. All in all, eight characters
are selectable. Another great originality of the game is the way how
fighters move around in thin air and are completely airborne.
This is an unusual feature for a fighting game only seen in more
recent titles such as Sunsoft's excellent Astra Stuperstars.

The original Super Famicom game comes with a mini CD with remixes of the
game soundtrack. See Chô Aniki (Pce-SCDRom²) for more information about
the Cho Aniki game series by Masaya.

Here we go again. Cho Aniki is back, but as a fighting
game this time. Graphics, as usual, are magnificent and detailed.
The game content is also the same with oiled muscled men and weird
stuff all over the place. Sadly, if the old PC Engine games were
competent shooters, this fighting game lacks some important
ingredients : it is sadly repetitive and the action is smooth but somehow
slow. It is a shame to read so many reviews freaking out on the game's
content itself without knowing anything about the game's history. Ideran and Beran
are the flying options from the first Cho Aniki game and most of
the characters here are bosses from the original games. The content
is indeed weird but far from pornographic as some people
describe it.
