One of WayForward’s next games will involve River City Girls Zero. That’s the updated, worldwide release of the Super Famicom game Shin Nekketsu Koha: Kunio-tachi no Banka. Now, WayForward offered a brief update regarding the game. It shared a peek at the its opening manga cutscene and some of its English screenshots.
First, here is the manga opening teaser. It shows Misako asking Kyoko what she found. Kyoko explains she has a cartridge that follows their first adventure. Which presumably is the Shin Nekketsu Koha: Kunio-tachi no Banka cart.

Next up are the English screenshots for the rerelease. The game involves Kunio and Riki being sent to jail for a crime they didn’t commit. They get out. Then, they reunite with Kyoko and Misako. The four then go on to prove the two young men are innocent.
River City Girls Zero (aka Shin Nekketsu Koha: Kunio-tachi no Banka), the classic 16-bit beat-'em-up that set the stage for River City Girls and River City Girls 2, is planned for release on Switch later this year. Here are the first in-progress official English screens! pic.twitter.com/i5S8QpkyVG
