Nekketsu Koukou Dodge Ball-bu is that classic Game Boy dodgeball game where you pick a team of rowdy Japanese high schoolers and hurl balls at each other's faces. The controls are simple—run, jump, throw—but the matches get wild fast, especially when someone pulls off a super shot that sends the opponent flying off-screen. I always go for the team with the spiky-haired guy; his throws feel stronger for some reason.
It's got that same chaotic energy as the other Kunio-kun sports games, just with more airborne teenagers. The music's catchy in that 8-bit way, and the pixel art gives everyone so much personality for such tiny sprites. You can practically feel the sweat flying when a match gets intense.
Still holds up if you're into old-school competitive sports games with a ridiculous streak. Just don't expect deep strategy—it's all about timing your throws and laughing when someone eats a ball at full speed.
