Atlus announces new River City Ransom/Kunio GBA ports

[slownerveaction]

Insert Credit (http://www.insertcredit.com) is reporting that Atlus is planning on doing two-fers of more Famicom Kunio-kun (River City Ransom) games for the GBA. Mentioned games are Nekketsu Koukou Dodge Ball Bu (a.k.a. Super Dodge Ball), Ganbare Dunk Heroes (basketball Kunio-style), Down Town Nekketsu Koushinkyoku: Soreyuke Daiundoukai (I think this is a sports competition type thing), Nekketsu Koukou Dodge Ball Bu: Soccer Hen (a.k.a. World Cup Soccer), Down Town Special: Kunio-kun no Jidaigeki Dayo Zenin Shuugou (basically RCR with a feudal Japan setting, sometimes called Technos Samurai), aaaaaannnnnd Ike-Ike! Nekketsu Hockey Bu ~Subette Koronde Dairantou~ (the infamously cancelled Crash 'n the Boys Ice Challenge).

The source is this Japanese news item. (http://green.ap.teacup.com/miamo/435.html) I wonder if they'll be graphically updated like RCR EX?

That´s really great, the Kunio games are some of my favorites. But I don´t care that much if they are not going to release them on Europe (like they did with RCREX :angry: ). BTW, Super Dodgeball has already been ported.

Didn't Atlus already port RCR over to the GBA?

What no ports of the Super Famicom Kunio games? :angry:

RCR and Super Dodgeball ports have allready been released on GBA. I have little to no interest in the Kunio sports titles when there are RCR sequels that have yet to be translated and released in the US. I would personally only buy the two Downtown series famicom titles and this is coming from a big River City Ransom fan.

I would much rather have translated ports of Shodai Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-Kun or Kunio Tachi no Banka.
