Downtown Rantou Koushinkyoku Mach!! is an enhanced version of River City Melee: Battle Royal Special with new elements added that make for more heated battles.

A battle mode where defeated teammates change characters on the spot. There may be also special gimmicks depending on the stage.

More Kunio on the Switch makes the world a better place.
Great news for Kunio-kun fans. Even better: a PS4 game that comes to the Switch enhanced. Great.
But I wish they started bringing us the 3DS installments too, they're digital only and yet expensive.
Then I'd like them to fill the gap between Kunio-kun The World Classics Collection and the latest entries, meaning all SNES, arcade, Neo Geo, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance and DS games that weren't ports of any version, but exclusive or original installments. Wishful thinking.
Watching High Score Girl on Netflix makes me want to play this.
@NTELLIGENTMAN Why? I'm watching that show too (1 episode left) but no mention of Kunio-kun so far that I recall. LOL
Kunio-kun jumps on the battle royale train!
I’d definitely pick this up if it makes it to the west.
im glad that Nintendo allowed region free for Switch. we can play theses Japanese Exclusives without having to shell $299.99 + Import Tax for another switch.
Aw yeah!

I noticed this was on PS4. I wanted to try it out but I kinda wanted to see a review for it and couldn’t really find one. Plus no demo to judge for myself. If this get a west release I’m sure NL would review it.
I am a HUGE fan of the original River City Ransom for the NES. I will definitely keep my eyes on this game.
@Aozz101x Yep, kinda wish they made the 3ds/2ds region free too.
I got this from LRG on PS4 already so I will pass. What I really want is them to release the Kunio collection in the west.
Please... someone... Nintendo... get River City Ransom: Underground on the Switch!!!
It's an odd game but it's fun.
