Some surprise news from the @E3 show floor - River City: Knights of Justice (3DS eShop) launches June 20th in North America & Europe!

Cool. This seems interesting.

Still holding out hope that the Kunio NES collection will get a localization.

Is this like the city ransom nes game - recreated as a rpg?
For what console?

You and me both.

Seems possible, given Natsume have more River City coming over.

That's giving me Half Minute Hero vibes...

Is this already out in Japan?

EDIT: Yes, here's JPN trailer

Maybe throw that in the OP. Game looks really cool!

Hell yes! I knew it was coming soon. So in for this, day 1 for sure.

You and me both.

Not a chance, that'd be a lot of work for such a niche release. I mean, almost every game in that collection was published (and heavily edited) back in the day, not to mention some didn't make it to the west at all. It'd probably require Natsume to re-localize all of them for it to work.

The blue haired guy on the right has stupid looking hair. Feels like I've seen it before...

Cool, I know River City: Rival Showdown is also coming, but If I'm going to buy one of these games which should I go for?

Tokyo Rumble is currently more expensive (it's price seems like a negative from the reviews I've read) ) than Knights of Justice (much more of an impulse purchase) is it a bigger game/ more worth while?

Recommend one to me GAF!

I had fun with Tokyo Rumble... it's a nice little diversion, or a good palate cleanser between big games.

It's not perfect by any means... it's pretty quick overall, but has some replayability with the inclusion of dodge ball and some other mini games.

Worth checking out if you're a big Kunio fan

A missed opportunity to entitle it A King's Ransom.

I liked River City: Rival Showdown more than this one personally, IIRC Knights of Justice runs at a slower speed which annoyed me. The only issue that I had with showdown was the boring double dragon mode.

Not that this looks bad, but it looks kinda slow. Tokyo Rumble is really, really fun and entertaining, only complaint from me being that it's kinda short (like 6 hours?).

Rival Showdown has me super excited, but from what little I played of the japanese version, it's a bit too story based, whereas Tokyo Rumble is very combat focused.

Btw I don't know how long or content filled Knights is, but it's cheaper because it's digital only. Tokyo Rumble is a "full" release.

I'm finally getting a 3DS for Metroid. Will also be picking up every single random River City iteration I can.
