I give this my *wholehearted* recommendation as an entry point to the Kunio-kun franchise, if one isn't opting for the much more modern and sensible River City Girls. Heck I ESPECIALLY recommend this one if River City Girls was your entry point but you'd like to see everything "from the beginning". This is effectively a remake of the original River City Ransom (Downtown Nekketsu). But what's REALLY interesting about it is that instead of just being a series of boss flags you bounce between while figuring where to go, it borrows from Majora's Mask. You have three days to stop the bad guys. If you enter the fourth day without foiling the antagonist's main plot, you're forced into a BRUTAL and overwhelming boss fight against basically all of the bad guys at once. One that on paper you're not supposed to win, but feels amazing to win anyway. But you can reset time at any point and keep your levels/items/etc., just story progress resets so the fail state big brawl isn't a mandatory event. So instead of just exploring to find the story flags, you're also accounting for character schedules and events temporally. I will say that the battle system feels VERY stiff and 1980's and... that's kinda the point. Kunio-kun as a franchise is meant to feel a bit retro. But if you let it charm you, it'll never leave you. Leveling up and getting stronger in a Kunio-kun game (including River City Girls) is uniquely addictive and fun.

초반이 좀 고비이긴 한데 좀만 지나면 재밌음! 엔딩 분기 삐끗하면 피꺼솟ㅋㅋㅋ
3ds version feels better imo. this ones still pretty cool tho (NOT WORTH the full price, however)
好玩，老虎好强
Esta bueno
Controller worked for me, so I guess the patches fixed that issue. I'm only leaving this review because that seems to be the only reason this game is mixed. It's total remake of the Japanese version (Kunio kun?) of River City Ransom; I didn't play much of this and I'll get back to it another time.
太喜欢了
去你妈的，山田一个大招就把我秒了，打你妈
River City Ramson en estado puro. El mando funciona perfectamente, ese aspecto negativo hace ya tiempo que se arregló
The best game in the Kunio-kun/River City series, period.
