River City Ransom/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • No Export for You: Despite the cult following of River City Ransom, none of the later Kunio games were localized with the exception of Nintendo World Cup and Street Challenge. An attempt to bring several Kunio games under the Crash 'n the Boys banner was made, but only the aforementioned Street Challenge (Bikkuri Nekketsu Shin Kiroku!) was released and plans to release Ice Challenge (a localization of Ike Ike! Nekketsu Hockey Bu) was canceled. This includes Downtown Special, which plays the same, but takes place in historical Japan and is less linear.
  • Vaporware: A fan-sequel to River City Ransom was planned for the GBA by an independent American developer called "Realize Games", but was cancelled when the original developers of the NES version regrouped to make River City Ransom EX.
