I was a little worried when ourman in Japan Allistair PinsofpreviewedHot-Blooded Tough Guy Kunio Kun 3Da few months back. The mode he had the opportunity to play was based off of the originalRenegade, and as Conrad Zimmerman always says, “Renegadewas never, ever awesome”.
I can’t wholly disagree with Conrad there. Though I love the Renegade’s wanna-be 50’s greaser jukebox soundtrack, the game itself is pretty dull by today’s standards. What I really want from this game is a newRiver City Ransom/Scott Pilgrim-styled action-RPG. Thankfully, this trailer confirms that the game has both aRiver City Ransom-inspired mode, aRenegade-inspired mode, (includingSuper DodgeballandCrash and the Boys), a mission mode that features battles against ridiculous oversized bosses and some volleyball players, a Battle Royale mode, a complimentary soundtrack, and crap loads more. There are even tiger-headed men! Yes!
The game comes out next month in Japan. If it never gets localized, I will buy a Japanese 3DS to review it for Destructoid, just to make you’re all sad that you never got to play it.
