Arc System Works wants to make 3DS games with acquired Technos IPs
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
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.

Update: The European release date is October 16th.
Bandai Namco has just announced via Twitter that the 3DS 2D-Brawler, which launched in Japan last week, is officially getting a western release on October 20th, 2015.
Last week we reported that Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden had been rated in Australia, hinting at possible localization outside of Japan. A retailer in Spain had also started advertising the game, and now that Bandai Namco has made it official via their Twitter, fans in the Americas can get their hands on the fighter as well.
As a huge fan of DBZ and its games, this pleases me greatly. Will you be picking this one up when it launches on October 20th? Let us know your thoughts and excitement in the comments below!
