500 CC - 294: Kid Niki

First Appearance - Kid Niki ( Arcade 1987 )


Kid Niki is "A Radical Ninja" who receives a message that his girlfriend has been kidnapped by a Stone Wizard or something.. I dunno.

I'm not fond of this game. It's like Alex Kid. You die in one hit, and that's no good.

However, I like the character, and for some reason, I find the pixel art in the game to be adorably drawn. It's so colorful, and I saw the sequel. It lost all it's visual charm.....but at least you don't die in one hit.


I hear the creator of Kid Nikki based him on a child in his neighborhood who would chase his car with a spinning stick every morning on his way to work.

Children are so weird sometimes.
