Earlier this year, prior to the reveal of River City Girls, Arc System Works announced Downtown Rantou Koushinkyoku Mach!! – a new entry in the Kunio-kun series – for the Switch and multiple other platforms.

This title goes by the name River City Melee Mach!! here in the west and according to news within the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu, it will be released in Japan on 10th October for the price of 1,500 yen.

Although a western release has not yet been announced, the above-mentioned English title has appeared on the Korean Media Rating Board, with H2 Interactive listed as the publisher – the same publisher responsible for previous entries locally.

The game itself is said to be an enhanced version of River City Melee: Battle Royal Special and was first shown in a Japanese Nintendo Direct presentation earlier this year. It will include a team edit function, endless battle mode, dream all-star teams, and online play.
