Rakugakids

Rakugakids (らくがきっず, Rakugakizzu) is a 2D fighting video game created by Konami for the Nintendo 64, released in 1998.

The button layout is the six-button fighting game standard consisting primarily of three punches and three kicks, which combine with various directional commands to produce special secondary moves.

Additional characters and secret options can be unlocked based on the amount of total playtime.

[11] Lesser reviews from magazines like Joypad and Player One claimed there was nothing interesting in the gameplay, and that the "crazy universe", combination of comic elements and the fighting genre, and the art style's similarities to PaRappa the Rapper were its only appealing aspects.

Ultimately, however, he wrote that Rakugakids was another fighting game where success was based on the randomness of the effectiveness of moves.
