history Waku Waku 7 (c) 1996 Sunsoft.


A hilarious parody of different styles of anime and video games featuring seven selectable characters and a nasty end boss! It's worth playing for the dialogue alone.

- TRIVIA -


Released in November 1996.


'Waku Waku' is Japanese onomatopoiea for sounds of excitement.


The bonus stage battle against Bonus Kun, the Shotokan punching bag, is a parody of Ryu and Ken of "Street Fighter" fame. Watch him imitate all of their best moves! It also appears that Bonus Kun's music stage is a parody of 'The Theme of Ryu', which is, as the name implies, the theme music for Ryu in "Street Fighter II - The World Warrior".


Pony Canyon released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Waku Waku 7 - PCCB-00215) on 21/08/1996.

* Alternate Costume Colors : press B, C, or D when selecting a fighter on the character selection screen.
