A history of heroes, eh?

First released in 1989, this Famicon game, or as it would later become known, NES, celebrated the 20th anniversary of the weekly manga release.

Famicom Jump: Hero Restuden Cheat Codes
Sadly, there are no cheat codes for this game. Instead, let’s cover some tips and tricks!
- How can I fight? It can be a bit confusing, considering that every person in the game world either wants to be your friend or is waiting to punch your face in. Regardless, here is how you move and fight. In battle, press A to throw a punch, or B to use a projectile weapon. These are the same no matter who you are controlling. Keep in mind, that projectiles take a bit to recharge, so plan ahead!
- Keep in mind the enemy type. To that end, enemies can be divided into two categories. Melee and projectiles. The former is fairly straightforward, as they will try to deck you. The latter will stay back and is trickier to deal with.
- Power up! Every time your characters defeat five enemies, they will gain more “effort” which will affect the very end of the game. As such, try to keep all of your effort levels high!
