How to Play International Karate on Wii

International Karate is a fighting game that was originally released for the Commodore 64 in 1986. It was made available on the Nintendo Wii through the Virtual Console feature. The game has an unusual control scheme compared to better known fighting games. It notably uses only the directional pad and one button for all controls. In addition, some attacks are initiated only by using the directional pad. Turning around also is not automatically a part of moving.
