In 2015, Arc System Works acquired the licensing rights for Technōs Japan’s catalogue, releasing River City: Tokyo Rumble as a proper sequel and retaining the River City prefix. Technōs Japan declared bankruptcy in 1996, though a number of their intellectual properties lived on, with Million releasing their back catalogue on modern download services and producing enhanced ports of some of their more popular titles, with releases including River City Ransom EX, Super Dodge Ball Advance, and Double Dragon Advance. RIVER CITY RANSOM UNDERGROUND 3DS SERIESEven though the Kunio-kun series did not become widely popular in the US, one of Technōs’ other series certainly did: Double Dragon. While the series continued to be popular in Japan, with numerous sequels and spinoffs, few of those ever made it to the US, and those that did were not marketed as part of an existing series, appearing as Nintendo World Cup and Crash 'n the Boys: Street Challenge. Next up was Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari, the first Kunio-kun game developed specifically for a home console release, which was known in the US as River City Ransom. This game also got its start in the arcade before being ported to consoles and computers. The next entry in the series was a spinoff, which arrived the form of Nekketsu Kōkō Dodgeball Bu, otherwise known as the cult classic Super Dodge Ball, which sees Kunio and pals facing off against a number of dodgeball champions from around the world. ![]()
