damn alex is a good friend. not too many people would be willing to kick several hundred peoples asses just to help a friend rescue his girl. with friends like that you wont have enemies.
I remember there being a Super Famicom Sequel where you get to beat up everyone while playing the guys and girls. It's pretty much a rampage of revenge that doubles as a date since they're boyfriend and girlfriend.
@@vguyver2 Yeah, the girls on the new game aka River City Girls are their girlfriend from the other game. Cindy and Ryan did break up after Ransom City
Even funner fact: This game is just one title in a HUGE series of games in Japan (Called Kunio-kun, Kunio being Alex's Japanese name). The named bosses and protagonists and girlfrends are all recurring characters. There are a few brawlers like this, but they're mostly actually sports games now.
Ryan was originally your enemy and a boss fight. Beating him in an earlier game is how you earn his respect as a fighter, so he asks for your help in RCR as a last resort. Saving his girlfriend together is how they become friends.
Yea, it was SNES game, and by that time, both Kunio (Alex) and Riki (Ryan) had new girlfriends. And yes, you get their girlfriends to fight with you. Sadly [spoilers], they both get shot and are out of commission somewhere in the middle of the game, so you lose them (they don't die, but they get carried away to the hospital).
I'm surprised no one noticed that Ryan's ex, just pretty much suggested they all get nude. When she said she wanted to hit up the sauna anyone that's played the game will tell you, no one wears clothes at the sauna, not even the towel.
Getting a girlfriend is very difficult and can take many years for most guys so beating up those people is probably the easier and faster option. Why do you think in media when guys lose there girlfriends they are usually really depressed and desperate to get her back instead of trying to find a new one instead?
@@grim_2000 Exactly. Speaking from personal experience, moving on is often the healthier and saner thing to do. Right now I'm happily married, as are all my exes. Life goes on pretty much normal if we just accept the fact that things can't be forced to last forever.
This video should be remade using the setting, characters, sprites, etc. of the Kunio-kun version, "Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari", keeping most of the script/scenario intact. RCR's "secret identity" is fairly well-known outside Japan nowadays, so it probably won't go over that many Westerners' heads. (BTW, Riki/Ryan's head should be corrected as well.)
Speaking of which, that got me thinking; if Kunio and Riki's names were localized to Alex and Ryan in America, what would Misako and Kyoko's localization names be?
I hate to be 'that guy' who quotes from the video but the line "Violence will mend my broken heart!" truly is hysterical, I know how you feel bro, if only it was that simple.
As a long time Kunio fan, Dorkly predicted the future. Kyoko & Misako now have their own games. As for Cyndy... I'm not sure what will become of her in the future about getting a game. Haven't played all the mainline games after Nekketsu Soccer Kunio Kun. (I know that isn't the title) The Japan only sequel to Nekketsu Koukou Dodgeball Bu - Soccer Hen.
I was mildly obsessed with the series at about the same time. My first Kunio-kun game was in fact "Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari", which landed in my mailbox on New Year's Eve 2018. So around that time, I set out to collect the entire Famicom library of Kunio-kun titles. I think it was about September 2019 I collected my final Famicom game, "Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu."
I know this video is 10 years old but the plot of the video is very similar to the current river city girls game out today two girls fighting hordes of other people's to save their supposedly boyfriends
*A few days later* Roxy: Given that Cyndi is now Slick's girlfriend and you and I are all alone... Do you want to be my boyfriend? Alex: Uhh... yeah. Also Alex: (I can't believe that I'm dating Slick's ex-girlfriend now. Is this a twist of fate?)
@@masonasaro2118well, not in the Wayforward canon anymore since they went with the new ending where it turned out Hasabe and Mami were lying (which even before the new ending Mami contracted herself when she said Kyoko was never Riki’s GF outside of Japan but Tokyo Rumble WAS localized lol)
misako is alex/kunio's girlfriend. but at the time of rcr, ryan/riki had broken up with kyoko in favor of cindy/whatever her japanese name was. the wayforward canon is separate in much the same way rcr underground was. main canon: the japanese games and the numbered double dragon games (console versions) underground canon: american rcr and underground neon canon: double dragon neon and river city girls.
Did you Guys hear they've making a River City Girls beat'em up version!? Apparently Kunio-kun and his friend got jumped and now their girls have to get out. Looks like there were still some dudes that felt sore and wanted revenge.
@@manuelalbertoromero9528 yes need, that game was about ryans ex, cyndi was the (spoilers!) secret final boss, along with roxy, which i am pretty sure was a reference to this.
@@manoluigisupershow1411 **Alex quickly pauses the game and turns on the Friendly Fire option** Alex: "Ryan, there's a reason this game's remake on the GameBoy Advance added me in as a boss." **Alex gets into a fighting stance** Alex: "You've just forced me to show you why!" That's actually a thing in RCR EX on the GBA; If you're playing as Ryan by himself from the start, Alex might show up later in the game and you have to fight him.
Aw, but they were both perfect for each other... ..both psychos that could come unhinged and engage in completely unprovoked violence at the drop of a hat.
REIMU AND I, WILL GO TO THE HUMAN VILLAGE, GET DRUNK TOGETHER, AND SPEAK SOFTLY TO EACH OTHER, JUST LIKE IT'S SUPPOUSED TO BE....BWAAAAH! *sob sob* WHERE'S MY BOOZE!?
Murph from Collegehumor, sorry I'm not too familiar with the voice actors, but is he one of the guys that did the voice of the Hamburglar in the Ronald McDonald skit for collegehumor? or did the voice from clocksuckers?
Really find it funny how Slick tries to make peace only for Cindi ending up kicking Ryan's ass And BTW to anyone that didn't know, River City Ransom got a 2nd remake, this time for the 3DS called River City Rival Showdown, has added content and uses the Japanese names (Kunio & Riki instead of Alex & Ryan to name an example)
"my version but with Mario characters" "Waluigi and Wario finished a wave of enemy" Waluigi: CARL IM CALLING YOU OUT BRO!!! me: Waluigi? Wario? what are you guys doing here? Waluigi: no more games! you kidnapped my girl! and now i'm here to get her back! Rosalina: goddamn it Waluigi! we broke up! Wario: wait you what?
