Topic: Kunio-kun appreciation thread

So I just popped open my copy of River City Girls Zero from LRG and OMG I was hit by a wave of nostalgia when I saw an instruction booklet in the case. Think about that for awhile an instruction booklet. Not a sheet or a card but a full on book!!!

Not sure if I will have time to play it tomorrow with the holiday but I have already read the booklet several times by the time I do, just like when I was a kid.

I finally played River City Ransom for the first time a couple of months ago. Decades of hype kind of let me down. If I hadn't played Scott Pilgrim first (which takes the same concept and modernizes to the point of 2013) I might have had more fun.

Got an email from LRG and my copy of River City Girls 2 is on the way.

Got my copy of River City Girls 2 from LRG today in the mail. Won't be able to start it this weekend though.

So after sitting in my backlog for a few years now I decided to start River City Girls Zero. It's an interesting game to say the least lol. I like the fact that they just kept it as it was. I knew it was an older Kunio game that we never got here in the states but I thought it was an updated version, but nope it looks and plays like a SNES game from that era.

To me it feels more like a Double Dragon game more then a Kunio game but I still enjoyed it. It is a bit hard due to it being a product of that time, enemies hitting you with cheap attacks, wonky hit boxes and such but still enjoyable. I would only recommend this game to big time Kunio fans really, while it is marketed as a River City Girls game it doesn't play as one so if your expecting that you will be disappointed.
