New 3DS Title Coming From River City Ransom Studio
Venerable (and venerated) beat-em-up developer Arc System Works is reportedly working on a 3DS title to be shown at Tokyo Game Show later this month.
Siliconera reports that the title on a TGS exhibitor list translates to "Hot-Blooded Tough Guy Kunio-kun", which is awesome and also the Japanese title of Renegade – the precursor to River City Ransom.
It is unknown whether this is a remake of some kind or a new entry or reboot of the series. Renegade is pretty old, though, so my money is on new game or remake.
Come back around later this month for our Tokyo Game Show coverage to see what this mysterious product shapes up to be.
Alternatively, click the image above for the rad original River City Ransom box art. Makes me want to go find a Rude Dog t-shirt, or maybe No Fear or Big Johnson. Bartman, perhaps?
Either way, I think we can all agree: Cowabunga.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
