NCS Game Synopsis
©NCSX▪
Before anyone talked about Fight Club, they were
talking about Tough (aka Shootfighter Tekken), a
Japanese manga which spanned the decade between 1993
to 2003. Tough gave thrills to crushing-blow-loving
otaku with 42 volumes of bone busting bouts,
internal injury action, wayward broken limbs, and
other bloody fighting action. The Miyazawa family
are the stewards of a deadly martial art known as Nadashinkage
or Nanshin Shadow Style which kills by cracking
bones, pulping up internal organs, and stopping
hearts. With such secret knowledge and power,
challengers confront the family in an effort to
learn the forbidden martial art and appropriate its
awesome abilities.

NCS Game Notes
* The intro shows a Kiichi, a muscled blonde fighter
practicing his moves, followed by two fighters moving in unison
as they punch and kick at air. More fighters are
shown with their own moves and stylized skills
including a Chinese dude who looks like someone from
our high school. Intro ends with a stoic Seiko Miyazawa moving in slow motion as he palms out
an attack at the screen.
* Modes in the game are as follows / STORY BATTLE /
FREE BATTLE / TIME ATTACK / VS BATTLE / SURVIVAL /
TRAINING / OPTION.
If STORY BATTLE is chosen, players will start the
game as the white-haired fuzzy tressed muscle-man
Kiichi Miyazawa who takes on gramps, a shiny pated, middle-aged guy
in a white and blue striped track suit named Jichan
which means grandfather in Japanese.
* In the other modes, players get to choose a
fighter from 12 combatants. We would recommend
TRAINING mode to learn the different attacks and
grappling moves before engaging an opponent in
battle. The full roster of fighters is as follows:
1) Kiichi "Keybo" Miyazawa / default hero with white peachfuzz hair and
thick black eyebrows
2) Jarunee Sukapatana / wears a red headband and hands are taped
up
3) Noel Richard / Crazy-eyed rasta with braids and a yellow
jacket
4) Jacob Ozon / Blonde, big forehead and a pencil thin
mustache
5) Alan Strode / May be modeled after the lead singer of Def Leppard
6) Shizuku / Middle-aged and balding Japanese fellow
with glasses
7)
Ka Fan / Fierce Chinese fighter with brawny features
8) Ka Leng / More sedate Chinese fighter in a blue
jacket
9) Duke / Woody Harrelson in red glasses sporting a
snake tattoo on his back
10) Jichan - Bald headed and short in stature but
powerful in the battlefield. Patriarch/Grandpa of
the Miyazawa family.
11) Kiryu Miyazawa / Scowling at the camera won't win this
slick-haired fighter any prizes. Elder brother to
Kiichi.
12) Seiko "Oton" Miyazawa / Square and stone faced muscle man with a
flat top and natty suit and glasses. Fathered Kiichi
and Kiryu.
* There are nine areas to fight in including a rainy
night scene where lightning arcs across the
background, inside a power plant, near a shrine with
a big old temple in the background, and the wharf
where machinery and boats sit idle as the two
fighters bout about.
* The L1, L2, and R1 trigger buttons are all
grappling moves when standing still and not moving
the D-pad in any direction. Grappling moves are
where one may grab and opponent and flip him or
flick someone to the ground. When the L-analog pad is moved in any
direction and then the triggers are hit, their
functions will change to that of direct attacks.
* The "O" and "X" buttons trigger kicks from the left or right while
SQUARE and TRIANGLE perform punches from the left or
right arm.
* During a battle, press START to view the options
that may be toggled. The list of moves available to
your fighter may also be viewed by checking the
"COMMAND LIST" option.
