==Ports and related releases== ''Yie Ar Kung-Fu'' was subsequently widely ported to platforms including the [[MSX]], [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]], [[Commodore 64]], [[ZX Spectrum]] and [[BBC Micro]]. It was released on [[Xbox Live Arcade]] for the [[Xbox 360]] on July 18, 2007 with updated graphics<ref>[http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/07/16/yie-ar-kung-fu-received-a-makeover/ Yie Ar Kung Fu received a makeover - Xbox 360 Fanboy<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> and for the [[Nintendo DS]] in ''[[Konami Classics Series: Arcade Hits]]''. In recent years, this game was re-released on some [[TV game]] products. ''Yie Ar Kung-Fu'' was made available on [[Microsoft|Microsoft's]] ''[[Game Room]]'' service for its [[Xbox 360]] console and for [[Microsoft Windows|Windows-based]] [[personal computer|PC]]s in July 2010. A sequel, ''[[Yie Ar Kung-Fu II]]'', was released a year later. The sequel was released only for home computers and was never ported to the arcades. Another fighting game by Konami titled ''[[Martial Champion]]'' was originally planned to be released as ''Yie Ar Kung-Fu 2''. In fact, Jin, the protagonist of ''Martial Champion'', was modeled after Lee, the protagonist of the NES and MSX versions, and after [[Ryu (Street Fighter)|Ryu]] from ''[[Street Fighter II]]''. ===Characters in the NES and MSX port=== [[Image:Yie Ar Kung Fu (MSX2).png|250px|thumb|left|MSX version of Yie Ar Kung Fu]] The MSX and NES port has many differences from its arcade counterpart. The hero is called Lee and faces only five opponents: ;Wang: armed with a pole. Unlike Pole, he doesn't use his pole to gain momentum. ;Tao: throws small fireballs in the same way as Star. ;Chen: this port's version of Chain. ;Lang: this port's version of Star, but with quicker shots and moves. ;[[wikt:無|Wu/Mu]]: called Wu in the MSX and Mu in the NES, he is similar to Buchu (though Mu is white and seems bearded, while Buchu is black and has a shaven face). Once he is defeated, the challenge starts again with Wang. After Chen's defeat, there is a bonus round where the hero must hit objects thrown at him to score points. This version was relaunched for the Game Boy Color (as a part of Konami GB Collection vol. 4), Saturn and PlayStation. ===Hidden Characters (Game Boy Advance version)=== There are two hidden characters in the [[Game Boy Advance|GBA]] game '''[[Konami Collector's Series: Arcade Advanced]]'''. To have access to them, the player must input the famous [[Konami Code]] at the title screen. The fighters are: ;Bishoo: a woman dressed in white who attacks with daggers. ;Clayman: a living statue who attacks with a sword bigger than Sword's. The characters are available in the special two-player mode found on this collection.
