River City Girls Zero, stylized River City GiRLS ZERØ, is an updated localization port of Shin Nekketsu Kōha: Kunio-tachi no Banka. Presenting the game in its original "16-bit glory", it adds new features such as a new anime opening, manga cutscenes, and a song from Megan McDuffee. The game includes two translations in English: Literal (Original in the new update) and New (RCG). The first translates the original dialogues from the original game, while "RCG" adapts the dialogues, trying to match the personalities that the characters have in River City Girls. It also includes translations to French, German, Italian, Spanish, and the original dialogues in Japanese.[1]
Plot[]
Kyōko shows Misako that she found a mysterious video game about their first adventure together. They discover that Kunio and Riki appear on one of the labels of the cartridge, so they attempt to find out how to play it. Kyoko also finds a game console, and Misako plugs the console into a CRT TV.
They think the game is very fun and want people to know about its existence. They doubt if an old video game could be liked by people, so they think that adding an animated intro, new songs, manga cutscenes, and a new translation might be a good idea.
