River City, aka Kunio-Kun, is one of those franchises I would have never put money on becoming something that would get localized with such reliability, considering its history. Be it River City Girls or the Romance of the Three Kingdoms spin off, we are not being forgotten in Kunio’s adventures, and this new title is […]

Especially one involving a robotic ninja, buckets of vengeance, and vehicle sections with a sweet motorbike?

Arcade Paradise – Review
Is there anything more deliciously 90s than a Laundromat slash Arcade? Growing up in the UK, I can’t personally back this claim up.
