Out of nowhere, Shantae developer WayForward has released, nay, unleashed the first trailer for the next game in the head-cracking River City/Kunio-kun series: River City Girls, coming to PC and consoles in September. The development is also being overseen by fighting game gods Arc System Works.
As you can see from this preview, River City Girls will capture all of the scrolling brawler action the series is renown for, but features the debut of new stars Kyoko and Misako, who take to the streets to bust some fucking heads after their boyfriends (original River City brawlers Kunio and Riki) are kidnapped by gangsters. What starts out as a standard school morning fast becomes a journey through the down-and-out River City, kicking ass and taking names. Somewhere, Meiko Kaji is smiling in approval.
