Arc System Works has announced a big collection of beat-em-ups from the 8-bit days: the Double Dragon & Kunio-Kun Retro Brawler Bundle. It’s got all three games in the original Double Dragon trilogy, plus so much Kunio-Kun you might “BARF!” The Kunio-kun series is known as the “River City” series in the US, and four of its titles were brought over back in the day, the most famous being River City Ransom.

As Masao Kobayashi, your goal is to stop an evil organization by beating up as many of their members as possible. Kouki Mizoguchi (a boy from the future) and River City’s Kunio are here to help you. Kunio-kun is a long-running series in Japan, not all the titles have crossed the shores, and perhaps they aren’t as surprised as us about getting three in one year.
