![]() Thankfully, before you know it, you’ve levelled-up and unlocked your first new move, which it soon turns out is the first of many. You’re initially armed with a quick attack, a strong attack, a single jumping attack and a single running attack, which should be enough to get you by at first but gets old fast. Naturally, there are plenty of people in River City looking for a fight (including a bunch of your own fellow schoolmates, thanks to an angry principal demanding they stop you from leaving the school grounds), so punching seven shades of sherbert out of pixelated punks is the order of the day here.Ĭombat is similar to those in earlier games, though it’s now notably more complex. The chaps have been kidnapped, so it’s up to their partners – who are no strangers to a scrap themselves – to cut class and explore River City to try and find out more about what happened to them. The point is that River City Girls stars Misako and Kyoko, the girlfriends of River City Ransom’s heroes Kunio and Riki. But nobody likes a show-off – especially one who spouts out Japanese game names as if they didn’t copy and paste them off the internet to get the spelling right – so let’s not focus too much on that. As the name suggests, River City Girls is a spin-off of that game, and it’s absolutely superb.Īctually, it’s more a spin-off of the Japan-only Super Famicom entry Shin Nekketsu Kōha: Kunio-tachi no Banka, because that was a fighting game that let you play as the two protagonists here. Some of the games made it to the west under various guises – Renegade, Super Dodge Ball, Crash ‘n The Boys, Nintendo World Cup and the like – but arguably the most notable entry made it to our shores as Street Gangs in Europe, and River City Ransom in North America. The Kunio-kun series has been around for more than three decades in Japan, delivering a steady stream of quality titles mostly featuring its trademark art style: chunky characters with big heads.
