Shin Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun: Kunio-tachi no Banka
River City Girls 0

A gritty pseudo-sequel to the NES classics Renegade and River City Ransom, once again featuring Kunio-kun. Later saw localization in English as a prequel to River City Girls.

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Shin Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun: Kunio-tachi no Banka (New Hotblooded Rowdy Kunio-Kun: The Eulogy of Kunio's Friends) is a brawler released in 1994 for the Super Famicom by <a href="/technos-japan-corp/3010-452/" data-ref-id="3010-452">Technos Japan</a>. The game was one of the last games in the long-running <a href="/kunio-kun/3025-858/" data-ref-id="3025-858">Kunio-kun</a> series to be developed and published by Technos Japan. Notable for being a dark, gritty reboot of the then incredibly popular (in Japan) Kunio-kun franchise, Kunio-tachi no Banka has players fighting their way through a murder mystery.</p><h2>Story</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/10/103881/2267382-2120198_kunio.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-2267382" data-size="small" data-ratio="0.58154506437768" data-width="466" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 466px"><a class="fluid-height" style="padding-bottom:58.2%" href="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/10/103881/2267382-2120198_kunio.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-2267382"><img alt="No Caption Provided" src="https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/scale_small/10/103881/2267382-2120198_kunio.jpg" srcset="https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/original/10/103881/2267382-2120198_kunio.jpg 466w, https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/scale_small/10/103881/2267382-2120198_kunio.jpg 320w" sizes="(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px" data-width="320"></a></figure><p>A young couple is murdered in a brutal hit-and-run accident and juvenile delinquents <a href="/kunio/3005-15431/" data-ref-id="3005-15431">Kunio</a> and <a href="/riki/3005-15449/" data-ref-id="3005-15449">Riki</a> are falsely accused of the couple's death.

The main characters use swear words often, the violence is less cartoony and more gritty, and the characters seem a lot edgier than in past Kunio-kun titles.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>Kunio-tachi no Banka is a standard beat-em-up. Players get the requisite punch, kick, jump, and block buttons, plus can access a special attack by pressing block and any attack button at the same time. In addition to this, players have a "back attack" button which allows them to attack enemies that get behind them, and by pressing select players can cycle between different playable characters. The game contains four playable characters: Series mascot Kunio and his girlfriend Misako for player 1, and sometime Series antagonist Riki and his girlfriend Kyouko.</p><p>Bike racing scenes are sprinkled throughout the game to give the player a break from beating stuff up on foot and play somewhat similar to the video game <a href="/road-rash/3025-394/" data-ref-id="3025-394">Road Rash</a>.</p><h2>Legacy</h2><p>Kunio-tachi no Banka would wind up being, for the longest time, the very last original non-sports game in the Kunio-kun series. The game was not released in non-Japanese territories and was followed by two more titles, the food-themed puzzle game <a href="/kunio-no-oden/3030-1824/" data-ref-id="3030-1824">Kunio no Oden</a> and a <a href="/the-king-of-fighters/3025-407/" data-ref-id="3025-407">King of Fighters</a>-esque remake of <a href="/super-dodge-ball/3030-36000/" data-ref-id="3030-36000">Super Dodge Ball</a> for the Neo Geo. Neo Geo Dodgeball would become the company's last game, and members of the Kunio-kun would later go on to form <a href="/million-co/3010-6264/" data-ref-id="3010-6264">Million</a>, who would eventually buy the rights to the games back and remake/re-release many classics from the series's heyday.</p><p>An English translation was released by fan translation group <a href="http://agtp.romhack.net/project.php?id=banka" rel="nofollow ">Aeon Genesis</a> in 2002.</p><p>Also, the action racing game <a href="../../super-mad-champ/61-37279/" rel="nofollow ">Super Mad Champ</a> was based on the motorcycle levels of Kunio-tachi no Banka.</p><p>The game was announced for a 2022 western release for <a href="/nintendo-switch/3045-157/" data-ref-id="3045-157">Nintendo Switch</a>, <a href="/playstation-4/3045-146/" data-ref-id="3045-146">PlayStation 4</a>, and <a href="/playstation-5/3045-176/" data-ref-id="3045-176">PlayStation 5</a> under the title <strong>River City Girls Zero</strong>, with a fully new English translation and tweaks to link it to <a href="/wayforward-technologies/3010-2294/" data-ref-id="3010-2294">WayForward</a>'s <a href="/river-city-girls/3025-5174/" data-ref-id="3025-5174">River City Girls</a> spinoff series, including new music from series composer <a href="/megan-mcduffee/3040-179209/" data-ref-id="3040-179209">Megan McDuffee</a>, voice acting from <a href="/kayli-mills/3040-178026/" data-ref-id="3040-178026">Kayli Mills</a> and <a href="/kira-buckland/3040-99744/" data-ref-id="3040-99744">Kira Buckland</a>, an anime-esque intro sequence, and comic-styled cutscenes.</p><h2>Soundtrack</h2><table><tbody><tr><td>Track:</td><td>Title:</td><td>Length:</td></tr><tr><td>01</td><td>Midnight Run</td><td>01:55</td></tr><tr><td>02</td><td>Mode Select</td><td>00:20</td></tr><tr><td>03</td><td>Going to Jail</td><td>00:28</td></tr><tr><td>04</td><td>Inside Prison</td><td>01:25</td></tr><tr><td>05</td><td>Jail Fight</td><td>01:40</td></tr><tr><td>06</td><td>Escape Plan</td><td>00:49</td></tr><tr><td>07</td><td>Kunio's Breakout</td><td>01:43</td></tr><tr><td>08</td><td>Great Escape</td><td>00:25</td></tr><tr><td>09</td><td>Misako's Theme</td><td>01:13</td></tr><tr><td>10</td><td>Nekketsu High School</td><td>01:56</td></tr><tr><td>11</td><td>Confrontation</td><td>00:33</td></tr><tr><td>12</td><td>School Fight</td><td>01:37</td></tr><tr><td>13</td><td>Enemy Territory</td><td>02:20</td></tr><tr><td>14</td><td>Amusement Park</td><td>01:38</td></tr><tr><td>15</td><td>Roller Coaster</td><td>02:23</td></tr><tr><td>16</td><td>Heated Battle</td><td>02:23</td></tr><tr><td>17</td><td>Bike Scene</td><td>01:47</td></tr><tr><td>18</td><td>Docks</td><td>02:28</td></tr><tr><td>19</td><td>Underground</td><td>02:29</td></tr><tr><td>20</td><td>Shinji's Hideout</td><td>02:29</td></tr><tr><td>21</td><td>Encounter</td><td>00:33</td></tr><tr><td>22</td><td>Beauty and the Beast</td><td>02:05</td></tr><tr><td>23</td><td>Disco Almanic</td><td>02:27</td></tr><tr><td>24</td><td>Yakuza Battle</td><td>01:59</td></tr><tr><td>25</td><td>Misuzu's Theme</td><td>01:45</td></tr><tr><td>26</td><td>Vanishing Tears</td><td>02:35</td></tr><tr><td>27</td><td>Kunio's Eulogy</td><td>04:05</td></tr><tr><td>28</td><td>Countryside</td><td>02:17</td></tr><tr><td>29</td><td>Sabu's Mansion</td><td>02:29</td></tr><tr><td>30</td><td>Battle Against Ken</td><td>02:08</td></tr><tr><td>31</td><td>Ending Theme</td><td>02:10</td></tr><tr><td>32</td><td>Game Over</td><td>00:04</td></tr><tr><td>b01</td><td>Unused Song 1</td><td>02:29</td></tr><tr><td>b02</td><td>Unused Song 2</td><td>00:43</td></tr></tbody></table>
