Kunio Ultra Hot-Blooded! Big Athletic Meet re-appears, releases next February in Japan

I figured this game was dead, seeing as how we haven’t heard a thing about Kunio-Kun no Chou Nekketsu! Daiundoukai, or Kunio Ultra Hot-Blooded! Big Athletic Meet, since last January. Arc System Works, however, just posted a bare teaser site for the game, announcing its Japanese release for February 4th, 2010.

From NCSX’s product description:

“Kunio and friends engage in various athletic events including track, hockey, soccer, and dodgeball. The sporting events are played without too many rules so punching and kicking are par for the course.”

The four-player game is modeled after Famicom/PCE/GB/GBA import Nekketsu Koushin Kyoku: Soreyuke Dai Undoukai, or Hot-Blooded Marching Anthem: Go Go! Big Athletic Meet. Unlike Arc System Works’s other recent Kunio remake for the DS, Super Dodgeball Brawlers, though, this game is presented in butt-ass 3D.

Aksys localizes pretty much everything Arc System Works puts out in Japan, so it would surprise me if I didn’t hear this eventually announced for the U.S. You can hear a short audio sample from the game on its official site.

Buy: Super Dodgeball Brawlers ($21.48)
