About this game

Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari, released as River City Ransom in North America and Street Gangs in PAL regions, is a 1989 action-adventure beat 'em up video game developed and published by Technōs Japan for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is the third installment of the Kunio-kun series released for the NES, preceded by Renegade and Super Dodge Ball, and the first to be developed specifically for the system.

Play as Alex and Ryan and cross River City to fight street gangs and save your girlfriend from the hands of a bad guy named "Slick." Improve your fighting experience by powering-up your characters in River City's shops, picking-up items for bonuses and using the trash bins and pipes you will find in its streets.
