Super Dodge Ball
"River City Ransom" is an English localization of the video game "Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari", which is the third title starring Technōs Japan's mascot character Kunio, who previously appeared in "Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun" and "Nekketsu Kōkō Dodgeball Bu" (the Japanese versions of "Renegade" and "Super Dodge Ball" respectively). This is the first game in the series where Kunio teams up with his rival Riki, who fought against Kunio in the previous games. The gangs the players fight in the Famicom version are all students from different high schools and many of the characters introduced in this game would reappear in subsequent "Kunio-kun" games (particularly those that were directed by Sekimoto and Yoshida).
