If there weren't already so many characters with swords, I would say Erdrick from the Dragon Quest series, because the original Dragon Quest came with the NES system. Bonk would fit well with Mega Man, Pacman, and Sonic, as he was the mascot for the TurboGrafx. They should place Thomas from the game Kung-fu, a team from the game Ice Hockey, and Tharja (one of my favorites) from Fire Emblem: Awakening as auxiliary characters.
@Einherjar I believe some of the information is off in this article. "Downtown Special: Kunio-kun no Jidaigeki da yo Zenin Shugo" for the NES is actually a sequel to "River City Ransom", and not "River City Ransom" itself. The Japanese name for "River City Ransom" is "Downtown Nekketsu Story", which translates to "Downtown Hot-Blooded Story". Downtown Special: Kunio-kun no Jidaigeki da yo Zenin Shugo takes place in the Edo period. When the article says that this game's narrative takes place after the previous game, I think the developers are talking about "Downtown Special: Kunio-kun no Jidaigeki da yo Zenin Shugo", and not "River City Ransom". I bought a copy of the Famicom sequel to River City Ransom when I was in Japan, but unfortunately the cartridge wasn't in very good shape. You can find fan translated downloads of the game online. —Either way, I bet that I am going to really love this upcoming Kunio game.
