Nekketsu Mahou Monogatari is coming west. Today, Natsume announced that the 3DS game will be localized as River City: Knights of Justice.
River City: Knights of Justice is due out in both North America and Europe this summer. Unlike River City: Tokyo Rumble, this appears to be an exclusive title for the eShop.
River City: Knights of Justice will be playable at E3 2017 in June.
Transformed into heroes & villains at home in any RPG, Kunio & friends use swords, staves, and even magic to bring peace back to Riverandia!
