@SKTTR I don't think either game has a direct connection, but The friends of Ringo Ishikawa is definitely sort of a love letter to those games.

Punch Club has a lot of video game and pop culture references in it. I've only played it a little bit, so I don't know if there are any direct references to Kunio-kun, but gameplay-wise, it is not really like a Kunio-kun game at all. It's a straight simulation game. You don't even really fight in the fights, the computer just simulates the fight based on your stats and skills.

Just finished River City Girls with the wife. We loved the ending, we found that the last two boss fights were quite easy.

Just got to unlock the hidden boss fight now.

Did anyone else think the yakuza with the eye patch, was a reference to Majima Goro from the Yakuza Series?

Well it's gone midnight here in the UK, wonder when the Double Dragon and Kunio Kun collection will unlock.

Really wanting this, but wasn't planning on spending $40 this week. But then I heard about the "quality up" feature and probably will.

It's kind of a bummer that most Arc System Works titles never go on sale. There are a decent chunk of games from their catalog that I'm interested in, but I always end up getting enticed by other games on sale instead.

I'm holding on buying the translated collection digitally with the hope that LRG will deliver a physical copy as they did with River City Girls.

Double Dragon & Kunio-kun: Retro Brawler Bundle is marked down 74% on the Murican eShop. I'm not sure when or even if Limited Run will opt this for a physical release, so I suppose now's the time to buy.

That was a $10 bill that wasn't difficult to let go of.
