So, apparently one of my favorite imports got a quiet English release in Korea last fall:
It's a re-imagining of the Famicom/PC Engine CD classic, Downtown Nekketsu Koushin Kyoku: Soreyuke Daiundoukai, a Kunio-kun track meet game I've reviewed at least four times in the opinions on obscure imports thread in its various forms, all of which are great. This expands on the idea quite a bit, letting you create your own characters, schools, customizing events... it's friggin' nuts.
I'm a diehard Kunio guy, and this thing is a damn treasure. On top of that, apparently a successor to River City Ransom called River City Tokyo Rumble just got a physical release on 3DS in the US. Apparently this game got a PSN release as well, but I don't do digital. If you can't tell, I'm pumped up enough about this to sound like an advertisement. Apparently this came out last November in a small print run with no fanfare and already sold out, so it was an ebay buy for me. Cats and dogs sleeping together, robots and monkeys hugging it out... holy shit.
I'm kinda excited that I got it.
