Because the success of the game roughly coincided with the launch of the Famicom in Japan, [[Nintendo]] saw the game as a must-have title for their system. So they licensed the game from [[Irem]] and published it themselves. When they brought the game to America, they shortened the title to ''Kung Fu'', perhaps to avoid legal problems with [[Data East]] who held the rights to the game in America. Data East licensed the game to popular European home computer systems, while [[Activision]] (later, Absolute) provided ports to popular [[Atari]] systems available at the time. | Because the success of the game roughly coincided with the launch of the Famicom in Japan, [[Nintendo]] saw the game as a must-have title for their system.
