Each of the games in the series were developed by Culture Brain, the earlier games developed by Nihon Game, a name the company used before Culture Brain.

The earliest "Super Chinese" games included action game elements, such as "Kung Fu Heroes" and "Super Chinese  Land". The later games in the series, such as "Super Ninja Boy" also integrated role-playing video game elements into the gameplay. The playable characters gain experience points from action RPG, random encounter battles and increase in levels, becoming more powerful. Video games. The "Super Chinese" series is made up of several video games spanning many of Nintendo's earlier systems. "Super Chinese", "Super Chinese Land", and "Super Chinese World" are the three main groups in the series. "Chinese Hero" was the first video game in the series. Even though Culture Brain (then known as Nihon Game) wasn't mentioned  in any part of the game while its publisher Taito was, "Chinese Hero" was developed by Culture Brain without credit. The "Fighter" video games are fighting games that allow players to fight with characters from the series, such as Ryu and Jack. In North America, the series is mostly known as the "Ninja Boy" series. "Ninja Boy", "Ninja Boy II", and "Super Ninja Boy" were all released in North America, as well as "Kung Fu Heroes". While the two protagonists are Kung fu practitioners in the original version fitting the Chinese setting, their designs were slightly altered to make them  into ninja for the North American market. Other releases and remakes: "Super Chinese Land 1-2-3 Dash" and "Super Chinese I+II Advance" are compilations of earlier video games in the series.
