Played Renegade all the time decades ago. Could tell it had the deepest lore but never knew about the Kunio series. They never bothered to connect it to River City Ransom or any of the reskinned sports games. Could have had way more of my custom. Mr. K was awesome.
Kunio series thread?
I had that game for Amstrad CPC. Never could get past first stage, even though I beat all the other fighting games like Barbarian, Kung Fu Master, Yie Ar Kung Fu, Exploding Fist, etc.
Actually I pretty much just go beat up within seconds of the start. That must be when I gave up on fighting games.

It's a belt scroller
Why is the toughest enemy in the game a fat lady who smacks you with her purse

Never heard of that one, we always called them fighting games or beat'em ups.

Belt-scrolling fighters (BSF's) don't take any skill to play, I'm glad that genre died.

It's a beat'um up retard.

There's a remake on the 3DS, region locked of course
There is also a 2 player co-op sequel on the Super Famicom, where Kunio and Riki are framed for a crime. All the old bosses are back and there's a lot of dialogue. The game itself is okay, but the bosses take a bazillion hits to die, and the graphics are odd.

Renegade (Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun) and River City Ransom (Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari) aren't really that connected to each other other than Kunio and Riki are in both games.

It's being localized by Natsume under the name of River City Tokyo Rumble. It's kinda annoying they're using the "River City" name for every localized Kunio game now though.

Forced meme.
Used to think renegade was a great example of how the master system got better ports, and then I realized it came out in 93 compared to 87 for the NES port.

The Master System still got better ports.

Natsume handled Renegade along with other Taito games released on the SMS at the time.
Anyone know what the best solution for some 4 player Kunio sports would be? I recently got an AV Fami and would love to get some 4 player games going.

Buy one of those Ascii Sticks that has an extra controller.

It's the only kunio game that had any sort of real success in the states, so I'm not really surprised. Not that bad of a name if you ask me.
Sabu a shit

True, but none of the Kunio games are actually set in a place called "River City". I would've preferred if they had went with the "Renegade" branding instead, but I guess that was not as popular with NES hipsters.
