Musical glitches in NES Urban Champion!

TKO! No, this isn't punchout!
Kick, punch it's all in the might! (Except there's no actual kicking like a little girl)


I am surprised at the commission of Urban Champion from Gamecube Animal Crossing. I have a lot to talk about and cover in Gamecube Animal Crossing in the not-so distant future. I guess Nintendo didn't like it, they ran out of space to include it in the original N64 version, or they felt nineteen was a round number for collectible NES games. Perhaps Nintendo sisn't want a game about a city in Animal Crossing but that may not be true because they have items including an Office Wall and several types of paper showing cityscapes. Definite curious invoking.
Nintendo, however plastered the game onto five E-Reader cards which was quite nice. I'm still upset about the early discontinuation and support of the Game Boy Advance E-reader. I may elaborate why in a future article because I deem the criticism necessary. I am curious if the street brawlers will make an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.


Recently I found a musical glitch in Urban Champion. Nintendo's early sound driver fixed this is issue in other titles. I could go into great detail about how they work but that far outreaches the scope of this article. Another time. The music will glitch after looping 49 31h times.

Round 3 music because it reminds me of Gary Coleman for some odd reason I can't explain. Does that sound weird? It is the thought this song my mind associates with so it is going to be known.












Disable title demo (also allows demo to continue until a victory. Victory animation does not progress.)

Infintie Konami Code Cheat in Tetris!

Widely known for being the world's most addicting puzzle game, and possibly videogame of all time. Tengen's NES which is a borderline rare version features a lesser-known example of the Konami code that is quite useful.
 
Enter the Game Genie code OPXULSSU and while the game is paused enter the Konami code to swap the current tetrimino piece with a longbar! 
 
Normally the game only allows the code to be entered once per game sitting.
 
 
Additionally it is possible to spawn any other Tetrimino which can be either a lifesaver or a detriment to your current game situation. In most cases it will hinder your game and is not very useful to the player.
