Kunio-Kun: Difference between revisions

Though all of this online effort was still pretty subtle in real world terms, it presumably ignited a spark among former Technos employees, prompting their new company, Million, to purchase the rights to the Kunio series and rerelease many of the games, first for the Game Boy Advance, and then on the Wii Virtual Console. Eventually, Million began making new Kunio games, although thus far they've been essentially retreads of older ones. But the series still seems to be getting healthier and healthier. A Wii game [http://tinycartridge.com/post/279430752/million-hints-at-wii-game-for-kunio has been rumored], a [http://www.kunioworld.com/ MORPG known as ''Kunio Online: Yamada's Revenge''] is coming soon, and for the first time, new entries in the series are all coming out in America, again under the River City name, although now the characters have their original Japanese names. A 25th Anniversary Special was released on December 16, 2011 on the Nintendo 3DS in Japan. Kunio may be fighting his way back into the big time!

 

 

Kunio beat-'em-up games:

* [[Delinquent|Delinquents]]: The main characters and half the people you fight.

* [[Faux Action Girl]]: Misako and Kyōko from ''Kunio-tachi no Banka'' border on being this. Though they can fight, and are the first girls to do so in a Kunio game, they're noticeably weaker than their male counterparts, and this extends all the way down to their sprites. In normal attacks, the girls slap instead of punch, and only kick at about shin or knee level compared to the boys who kick at stomach level. In special attacks, however, they look just as [[Badass]] as the boys do.

* [[Huge Schoolgirl]]: Emphasis on the huge for Misuzu.

* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Any time the games use weapons, expect them to often become improbable.
