The origin of River City Girls! "New Hot-Blooded Hardcore Kuno's Song" will be released Japan adding new elements!

The latest in the series, " Kuniokun's Sangokushi: Let's All Get Together! is also a huge hit in the "Kuniookun" series by Arc System Works.
The series' 35th anniversary in 2021 will not only continue to gain momentum, it will only increase, and as we approach the 36th anniversary in 2022, " Nekketsu Kuniokun Gaiden: River City Girls 2 " will probably be at the center of the popularity of the "Kuniokun" series.
The release date was recently set for December 1, 2022 (Thursday ). The official website is now open and reservations are being accepted, but the original "River City Girls" title, " New Nekketsu K uniokun Gaiden: River City Girls 2", has added new elements and a new release date has finally been announced for the newest console in Japan!

The series' most serious storyline is now available on the newest console!

Shin Nekketsu Kuniotachi no Hikiga" was originally released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1994.
It is a belt-scrolling action game in the tradition of the "Kunio-kun" series, but with the Super Famicom, the game has expanded the range of expression, the characters' lifelines have increased, and the game has become more voluminous with a variety of stages and gimmicks.
It is also a work that expresses the new charm of "Kunio" and "Riki" with a serious development that is different from the "Kunio-kun" series up to that time. More on the story later...

The most notable feature of this game is that "Misako" and "Kyoko," who later became the main characters of "River City Girls," appeared in this game. The port that was released overseas earlier is titled " River City Girls Zero " and is regarded as the origin of the "River City Girls" series.
The Japanese version will follow the title of the original and will be called " Shin Nekketsu Kuniotachi no Hikka -with River City Girls Extra- "!

In addition to the main game, "New Nekketsu Kuniotachi no Hikka -with River City Girls Extra-" will include a new opening movie featuring the newly designed "Kunios ", localization in Western languages, and asave function. The "River City Girls Extra-" includes the main game, an opening movie with newly designed characters "Kunio" and others, localization in Western languages, and a save function.

The "River City Girls" have a pop, cute and stylish design, but in "New Hot Blooded Kuniotachi no Hikka - with River City Girls Extra-", the "Kunios" have a more early Heisei design. The best part is that the design is very early Heisei era!
The "River City Girls Extra" is a collaboration manga featuring "Misako" and "Kyoko" from the "River City Girls", and is truly the origin story of the "River City Girls".

Now, I mentioned earlier that this work has a "serious development," but some of you may say that it is hard to imagine such a "serious" development from the "Kuniokun" series, which is so comical and playful.
For those of you who can't imagine such a story, let me introduce to you the story of "New Hot-Blooded Hardcore Kuniotachi no Hikka -with River City Girls Extra-"!

A quiet rainy night. A father and son were hurrying home.
Just as they were about to cross a pedestrian crossing, a motorcycle appeared from the darkness.
Suddenly, the motorcycle hits the father and son!
Umbrellas flying up in the air, the father falling to the ground. The girl just stood there, unable to comprehend what had happened.
Her eyes saw the face of the killer.

Kunioto and his friends were arrested and sent to a juvenile reformatory.
