Last month, Arc System Works announced the acquisition of the Double Dragon, Super Dodge Ball, River City Ransom, and Kunio-kun franchises. This week’s issue of Famitsu asks president Minoru Kidooka about what’s next for these former Technos IPs.
Kidooka told the magazine:
“Firstly, we’d like to develop 3DS titles like we’ve been doing up until now. Personally, I’d like to see titles such as Kunio-kun and Double Dragon be revived as arcade games again.”
“This is something we’re aiming for the next fiscal year, but I’d like to get the fighting part of Downtown Hot-Blooded March: Let’s Go to the Great Sports Meet and make it into a game, and turn it into something that can be played competitively with four players at the arcades.”
Arc System Works most recently developed Downtown Special: Kunio-kun no Jidaigeki da yo Zenin Shugo. That game launched in Japan on May 28.
