My brother was playing some nes game and it's been bothering me.

His character was an overly large sprite, kinda like Jacky Chan size, cept he was bald. It was some sort of ninja/side scroll kick and punch kinda deal.
He was fighting on a boat? when i walked in on the game.

My bro has no idea what is was because it was on a PSX nes emu disc. It may not even be NTSC.

Any ideas?

Whenever I think of bald characters, I think of Karnov. Of course, he wasn't overly large on the screen and I don't think there was a boat level.

But I'll ask, it wasn't Karnov, was it?

no, it wasn't karnov(i have that one)... and it's not kung fu heroes either...

The character sprite did look like the label characters on kung fu hero.

The sprite was HUGE, big enough to have all that cartoony detail in it.
Oh, i remember it was in english too... there was a bit of story between levels or something.

I wish i had more details to make this easier... sorry =(

This is the only thing that i can compare the sprite to in size and style.
The face was very similar, but bald. and i think the clothes were one colour.
What colour that is beyond me. =(

Never heard of it. Good to see there's still unfound (for me) gems in the ol' FC library :)

Woah. That game looks great. One of the games that had good art direction and maximized on it.
