Join Kunio, Riki, Misako, and Kyoko for bone-crunching, 16-bit, co-op beat-'em-up action - officially translated and released outside of Japan for the very first time! The original 1994 graphics, soundtrack, and gameplay are augmented with new opening and closing motion-comic cutscenes, a new animated intro, and additional music by Megan McDuffee!

    I love Misako and Kyoko's voices so much. Its like the one thing that Shantae was always missing, that consistent vocal banter that makes you feel the characters and be a part of their adventure, rather than just playing a game. Cutscenes are fine and all, but in-game dialog is what really draws you in

      @GELTONZ 2 роки тому +4

      I think all the 3DS games made it except they were limited releases for two of them and download only for one. That said, all the NES games are translated officially in the Double Dragon and Kunio collection.
      Right now I'm wondering what's going on with the new Kunio 3 Kingdoms game that got released on Switch in Japan recently.

      @@GELTONZ I think you are talking about Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun Special, Riki Densetsu ( eShop exclusive ) and Downtown Nekketsu Jidaigeki. I believe the first one was a remake of the original game, the second a prequel to the remake and the third is a period themed ( samurai ) game... though I don't know much about the 3ds releases so I could be mistaken.
      The digital one seems the most interesting in my opinion, though the period themed one seems fairly appealing as well.

      Only three 3DS games didn't leave Japan, whereas Tokyo Rumble and Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari SP/Rival Showdown were released outside Japan.
      Edit: And Knights of Justice, though that game wasn't really that good but it was decent.

      I need help. Are these 2 girls the girlfriends or not? Me and a friend beat the modern game and got what we figured was the bad ending, but after looking for answers I've not cleared things up. I may have read that the 2 evil girls are the actual girlfriends and that they've been on more games than these 2?

    • @Ret2Go2001
      @Ret2Go2001 2 роки тому

      Technically speaking Hasbae and Mami are the real girlfriends, and Kyoko and Misako were only their girlfriends in one game, which is this one. Mami even mentions it after you defeat them in the secret boss.

      @@ballzinferno9793 If you get the real endings after the secret boss you get an ending where they are in fact their girlfriends. This confusion is to make fun of the localization of the kunio serie and how the canon was a mess for Western. So it's kinda up to your preference i guess. With River city Girls Zero i feel they kinda try to make it more official that Misako and Kyoko are now canon.

    I remember two river city games on SFC. The 1st one had heavy RPG element. Protagonists went on a school trip and stayed in a hotel. You need to walk around the city, talk to different people, back and forth different locations to trigger story plots and fights. The 2nd one was a rather linear, straightforward beat’em up game like final fight. I remember prisoner’s cloth, Ferris wheel.
    I guess this river city girls zero is the 2nd one?
    Unfortunately I like the 1st one more. The 2nd one was too straightforward. I played through it once or twice only and never went back. Didn’t leave much impression on my mind.
