source: wikipedia_enDowntown Nekketsu Monogatari, released as River City Ransom in North America and Street Gangs in PAL regions, is a 1989 action-adventure beat 'em up video game developed and published by Technōs Japan for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is the third installment of the Kunio-kun series released for the NES, preceded by Renegade and Super Dodge Ball, and the first to be developed specifically for the system. Gameplay is similar to that of Renegade, but set in a non-linear open world, a first for the series. It was the first console game published by the developer's North American subsidiary American Technos, without input from previous series publisher Taito. Outside Japan, River City Ransom was not highly successful when initially released. However, it received positive reviews from critics for its innovative gameplay and humor, retaining a dedicated cult following to this day, while also making the Kunio-kun series prominent in the beat 'em up space. Remakes have been released for the X68000, PC-Engine Super CD-ROM², and Game Boy Advance.
