River City Ransom sequel is now available on the Japanese 3DS eShop
Footage from Arc System Works' River City Ransom spin-off Riki Densetsu has appeared online, showing off some impressive old-school brawling action.
The game is available in Japan now but there's no word on a western release at present. It features series antagonist Riki as the main character, and is part of the popular Kunio-kun line of games.

Do you know why the antagonist stepped in to be the hero?
He heard that Johnny Kung-Fu was coming to Japan (interestingly, it's actually releasing the same week as this game in Japan), and even he felt bad at the thought of brawler fans downloading it to get a quick fix
Looks quite fun.
I'm a huge fan of all of Kunio's games, Id really wish they would start releasing these in the West.
@Shiryu river city ransom was relesed in north america for the nes its very good.
@Shiryu: Agree
@hendie001: They also released Super Dodgeball, Nintendo World Cup, Renegade, and Crash N The Boys Street Challenge in NA which are part of the Kunio series.
I really hope this game comes to NA. Either that or I am tempted in looking in on importing a Japanese 3DS.
Really wish we get this!
Come to NA Please! ;=;
When i was growing up River city ransom was one of my fav games on the nes. I hope we get this.
[head-bopping to RCR's street theme]
I'm still disappointed we didn't get the Renegade remake.
Come on, western pubs! Pick this up!
I wish they would put games like this on the WiiU
Not only is this just as awesome as River City Ransom, but it's in 3D and has a leveling system!??! Be still my beating heart. I've been hoping that RCR would come to 3DS as a 3D Classic since Excite Bike's release day one at the e-shop.
It looks retro-ly delicious.
Bring this to the west or i'll throw things at you, i swear.
This looks really fun. I would get it if it released in the Eshop at a reasonable price for digital download
LOOKS AWESOME. Cant wait for world wide release. A buy 4 sure!
This needs a North American release...! Big River City Ransom and Nintendo World Cup Soccer fan here!
