Game Description:
Kung Fu is an action beat 'em up game for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Hack Description:
"Ranma Saotome, a young fighter must face his worst rival ... his own shadow! After a failed training, it kidnaps Akane and takes over Furinkan High School. You do not have much time. Hurry up, save Akane!"

On his 5th anniversary as a romhacker, the author of this hack gives a deep facelift to one of his first projects, renaming it Ranma vs. Ranma!

Features list:

2.0

-ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING has been improved: title screen, HUD, backgrounds and sprites (always keeping in mind that this is an old game).

-Cameos of characters have been added or modified: let's see if you recognize them all ;).

PS The compressed file contains two patches: the new hack and the original, in case users are curious to compare both. Just check the README inside the compressed file.

2.1

-In addition to the two previous patches, there are two brand new ones ( listed in section 3), which offer more options to users, like play as Ranma-girl!

-Fixes and improvements have been made to get the best out of the graphics in each version.

Ranma vs. Ranma 2.2

-The patch with white vest is removed and we now have 3 available: The original from 2018, and the new one playing with Ranma-boy or with Ranma-girl.

-A new cameo that was omitted in version 2.1 has been added.

-Minor improvements have been made.

Also as a bonus, here are some covers specially designed for the occasion: https://imgur.com/gallery/LUi2hAv
