River City Ransom wallpaper by Bud (click for a larger image).
The Renegade remake for 3DS released in Japan this week! I wonder how many gamers over there noticed…

I know most previews for this import-only 3DS game are mixed, to say the least, but you’ll want to watch this anyway just to hear that remix of River City Ransom’s shop music again.
While I expect hardly anyone will buy this in Japan, I’m crossing my fingers that sales will meet expectations and Arc System Works will greenlight a similar remake for River City Ransom — I’d love to see this motorcycle sequence brought into that potential game.

This Japan-only Famicom game was a follow-up to River City Ransom that had Kunio and friends acting out a period play taking place in Medieval Japan. I brought it up because, as you might have heard, Miracle Kidz is crafting a modern sequel to River City Ransom that will release for consoles in Japan this summer and on PCs next year.
Miracle Kidz, which is working with some ex-Technos staff, is the same doujin group that released River City Dodge Ball All Stars!! for PC and XBLIG not too long ago. The team is also releasing a WiiWare port for that dodgeball title to Japan in two months.
If we’re lucky, publishers will overlook that hardly anyone bought River City Soccer Hooligans or River City Super Sports Challenge last year, and will decide to localize these games in the U.S. anyway.

Tomopop, which posted most of these photos of Alex/Kunio and the gang, didn’t share any details about who made the toys or where you can buy them, but I’m not certain this is a new set. If it is, hopefully import shops will stock them soon!
Unfortunately, you can’t undress them to re-enact River City Ransom’s famous sauna scenes. Or any other nude scenes you might have in mind.

tags / kunio / river city ransom / toys / imports / ecRemade boxart from a recent NES Cover Art Jam. The new Double Dragon II and Iron Sword pieces actually surpass the originals (though I’m sure Fabio fans will disagree)!
List of artists (by order in the slideshow):
- Double Dragon II by Ben Camberos
- Castlevania III by Gerardo Ramirez
- Super Mario Bros. by Mick Collins
- River City Ransom by Ray Ocampo
- Iron Sword by Carlos Lerma
This re-illustrated Crystalis cover by Lamar Abrams wasn’t part of the jam but definitely merits mentioning.

This newly released album published by Dangerous Mezashi Cat features 17 fanmade arrangements from Technos’s popular Kunio-kun titles — River City Ransom, Super Dodge Ball, Nintendo World Cup, and other Japan-only sequels.
You can look over Muscle Spark’s full tracklist at VGMdb.
Speaking of Kunio, whatever happened to Kunio Ultra Hot-Blooded! Big Athletic Meet, the DS “sports” game modeled after Nekketsu Koushin Kyoku: Soreyuke Dai Undoukai (Hot-Blooded Marching Anthem: Go Go! Big Athletic Meet)? I haven’t heard anything about the title since January. I guess Arc System Works quietly cancelled this 3D abomination?
