Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })River City Girls Zero note Shin Nekketsu Kōha: Kunio-tachi no Banka, "New Hot-blooded Tough Guy: Elegy for Kunio and Co." is a game released on the Super Famicom on April 29, 1994, by Technōs Japan Corporation for Japan only as a part of the Kunio-kun series. This game is said to take place between Nekketsu Kōha Kunio Kun (Renegade in the US) and Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari (River City Ransom/Street Gangs in the US and Europe repsectively), which would explain why Riki had a different girlfriend at the time among other things.The game's story involves the main heroes, Kunio and Riki, being framed for a hit-and-run incident caused by identical strangers. To make matters worse, Nekketsu High School has been taken over along with Hanazono High (which is totaled) and the aforementioned strangers are still causing trouble out there during our heroes' stay in jail. So after earning the respect and help of another thug (who wants them to join his gang at first) and his two lackeys they have just throttled, Kunio and Riki plan an escape from the prison and fight off the police. The adventure has just begun from there. Who were those doppelgangers and why did they frame the boys? Is there a bigger man behind the scenes?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In June 2021, a re-release and official localization was announced by Wayforward Technologies, developers of River City Girls, who is involved with this updated release, adding anime cutscenes and new music from River City Girls composer Megan McDuffee. It released on the Nintendo Switch on February 14, 2022, with releases on other platforms (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam) slated for later that Spring but ultimately not releasing until September 21st. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
River City Girls Zero (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Compared to the Downtown Nekketsu part of the series, since it's part of the Nekketsu Kōha part of the series. For starters: Nekketsu High School and Hanazono High (which is pretty wrecked) are taken over by thugs, several people have been shot, and the Yakuza is involved. There is also a distinct lack of slapstick violence. Selecting the "English (RCG)" text language option in the WayForward rerelease downplays this as it has some humorous dialogue to help balance out the game's otherwise serious tone. | |

Easy-Mode Mockery: Playing on Easy up to the first confrontation with Sabu has him dismissing the heroes, calling them pathetic for choosing the easy route. He orders them to come back once he knows they can take him on and gives them a password that sends them back to a previous level, with the difficulty set on Normal. | |

River City Girls Zero (Video Game) / int_1e1afc1b | comment |
Framing Device: This is how the game begins in the WayForward localization. Specifically, there are manga cutscenes of Misako and Kyoko in their River City Girls incarnations coming across the original Super Famicom release and playing it. They notice how they look different and discuss how an old game can be repackaged in order to be marketable in the present day. | |

Nintendo Hard: Don't expect this game to be a cakewalk. Compared to River City Ransom or the original Renegade, this game is more in line with the Double Dragon series in terms of gameplay. There are no healing items or weapons, enemies can gang up on you if you're not careful and if any of the playable characters die, it's an instant Game Over. Knowing how to use the special moves is key if you want to make it far. | |

Sequel Hook | |
River City Girls Zero (Video Game) / int_6293c185 | comment |
Sequel Hook: After beating the re-release, a manga cutscene plays, teasing connections between Zero and River City Girls 2. Misako and Kyoko ponder if the events depicted in the game really did happen- after all, Sabuko wasn't even mentioned despite being Sabu's daughter. They also note that, between the events of Zero and the two defeating Sabuko in River City Girls, Sabu (and potentially Ken, if he's still alive) very likely wants to get back at the girls for their meddling. They ultimately decide that it was just a video game and they don't have to worry about it. They leave the bedroom to go hangout with Kunio and Riki, while the final panel focuses ominously on the discarded cartridge and the text below reads "To Be Continued..." | |

Saved by Canon: Played with the 2022 re-release. Considering this game is treated in universe as a game re-telling their past adventure, is treated as a prequel to River City Girls, and Misako and Kyoko themselves are playing it, the scene where they get shot by Sabu loses some of its dramatic sting. In the original release, they still end up fine anyway. | |

River City Girls Zero (Video Game) / int_86af7ab0 | comment |
Badass Biker: Shinji, the leader of the bosozoku gang called "The Blue Emperors". There are also segments in which our heroes can ride the motorcycle as well and kick enemy bikers off their bikes. In fact, there was going to be a spinoff of this game about racing, but the project was cancelled and retooled as Super Mad Champ. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure: Played with Officer Takayama.

As soon as Mamoru straightens things out with him, he drops his vendetta and cooperates with the heroes to help prove their innocence. | |

Sidetracked by the Gold Saucer: A borderline case, really (its not so much a minigame as it is an optional cutscene and in-universe distraction). During the amusement park level, Misako nudges Kunio and notes that there's no line for the rollercoaster. Taking a ride here restores the party's health. | |
