A fighting game with an RPG-style progression mode, from the Hiryu no Ken series, and a pricier-than-average cart.
Flying Dragon is a fighting game with role-playing elements from Culture Brain, part of its Hiryu no Ken series. It was released in Japan in December 1997, in North America in October 1998 and in PAL regions in July 1999. Natsume published it outside Japan. The SD mode has characters gain levels as they gain experience, and the player collects credits and treasure items to equip them.
Electronic Gaming Monthly listed it among the N64 releases coming in its July 1998 issue. A sequel, S.D. Hiryu no Ken Densetsu, followed a year later.
How it was made
Developed by Culture Brain; Natsume published it in North America and Europe.
Before you buy
The US cartridge sits above the library median loose and a complete copy costs around five times the loose price. The fake risk is medium, so ask for a photo of the board, which is the reliable test; a cart that boots proves nothing. PAL copies cost more than US ones, loose and complete, while Japanese copies cost far less.
