Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari a.k.a. River City Ransom in the US, and Street Gangs in PAL regions, is an open world action role-playing Beat ’em Up originally released on the NES. The PC Engine CD version was published by Naxat Soft and developed by KID, the same team that did the PC Engine versions of Nekketsu Kōkō Dodgeball (Super Dodge Ball), Double Dragon II: The Revenge, and Downtown Nekketsu Kōshinkyoku. This version features enhanced graphics, an arranged Redbook soundtrack and fully voiced characters. Also, your progress is saved in this version on the PC Engine’s backup memory. Here we have another rare Beat Em Up for the system for which there were very few. The unique open-world aspect, usable weapons, and multiplayer make this a welcome addition to the library, especially for fans of River City Ransom on the NES. Also, like Ane San, this game features likable delinquents – this time the male variety know as “Bancho” in Japan.
