Play Downtown Special - Kunio-kun no Jidaigeki Dayo Zenin Shuugou! (Japan) Online – Nintendo (NES) Game

Game Overview

Step into the wild, rowdy streets of feudal Japan—Kunio-kun style! Downtown Special - Kunio-kun no Jidaigeki Dayo Zenin Shuugou! takes the beloved brawler antics of the River City series and throws them into a hilarious, anachronistic samurai adventure. Imagine punch-outs, slapstick humor, and chaotic co-op brawls, but now with katanas, ninjas, and ridiculous period-appropriate (or not) outfits. It’s classic Kunio-kun gameplay—tight controls, satisfying combat, and that signature charm—wrapped in a fresh, feudal coat of paint.

Whether you're teaming up with a friend or going solo, this NES hidden gem delivers the same addictive, bone-crunching fun the series is known for, just with a twist. Samurai showdowns, sneaky ambushes, and plenty of absurd encounters make this a must-play for fans of retro beat-'em-ups. If you’ve ever wondered what River City Ransom would look like in the Edo period, here’s your answer—and it’s as gloriously over-the-top as you’d hope.
