"More than "BARF!"... "BizARF!"" , posted Wed 26 May 10:58:

Not merely BARF!, but the enemies in the NA version of River City Ransom EX also say "blargh..." or even "BizARF!" when beaten... but I wonder about localization choices like "Oh, snap!"

Cute how the title screen has been changed in the NA release to reflect the NES' River City Ransom title screen.

I only wish that you could do 4-player coop.
Or versus.

I feel the localization was actually, fine. This is one case where actual changing of names and text enriches the american version. In one example, would you want every character named "Yosuku" or "Ryuji" or something equally Japanese? I honestly prefer a gang called the gamers that yell 'GAME OVER' and 'CRITICAL HIT', an Emo CD that makes you look at your shoes and cry, and eating waffles. There are some really good refrences to anime/video-games that seem to appear TOO often to be coincidental. Such as Cloud, Spike, Ein, Edge, Piro, Largo and Kaoru, just off the top of my head. The english version is just that much better for americans, because the localization is just so WELL DONE.

So...how about those...things....

I kinda wish they had also given us the option of having westernized clothes as well, just like the original NES version -- especially if they were going to keep the English names. Ah well -- it's still cool.

Well, it's great that at least the localization is good, but we just missed again the chance to play the game as it was meant. I hope that we can see a translation patch anytime soon...

If they make a brand new Kuniokun game, are they going to ruin the series again, if they bring it to the US and/or Europe?

ARISE, CHICKEN!

As for the changes, it's clear even from this they are making fewer changes to Kunio's "world" than they once did (Since Japan is "trendy" now and all..) Even though they changed the names (I prefer the Japanese names and gangs, honestly) at least they left the clothes the same. Here's hoping to an unfucked version of Nekketsu Kouha Kunio Kun/Renegade or some of the previously unreleased Kunio games (in the states, anyway).. the name is eluding me at the moment, but the Midieval Japan Kunio game that kicks Nekketsu Kouha Downtown Monogatari's/River City's ass would be nice.

Edit: Although I must say their choices of "death dialogues" are.. inappropriate, to be polite.

Yeah, it had some really, really long name along the lines of "Downtown Special blah blah blah"

I think having enemies named "Riki" and "Kunio" is funny as hell. That and the comment you get when reading the Gaming Mag: "RC's delayed again?!"

Well, to me, the main character names don't matter... I always re-named them anyway...

Well, considering the positives comments that I have read for the game I feel like this http://galeon.com/kactus/games/news/1082128370065.gif when I think about the possibility of playing it.

I stand with Rugal about the names Issue.

And is it just me, or is it nigh-impossible to just do "tap" attacks?

You can find it in English as "Technos Samurai".

Personally though I prefer the feel of RCR.
