Kunio-kun sticker sheet. Arc System Works handed these out at TGS to anyone who played through the demo of the new 3DS Kunio game, which you’d better believe I did! While there were hours-long lines for the Persona fighting game at Arc’s booth, I was able to saunter right up to this game with zero wait.
I’ll have a preview of the actual game up on Joystiq soon, and I’ll mention it here when that happens.

Oh shi… My integrated nostalgy controller get mad… Wanna fucking play!..
Ben Howard is the man to thank for this beautiful, hand-made set of The Legend of Zelda chess pieces. Drawing mostly from the designs of the Wind Waker era (though there are a few older styles thrown in, especially for characters not present in the GameCube title), there’s King Daphnes and Zelda…
Downtown Special: It’s Kunio’s Period Piece, Assemble Everyone!!, or Technos Samurai, patched with a new English translation released a couple months ago.
This Japan-only Famicom game was a follow-up to River City Ransom that had Kunio and friends acting out a period play taking place in Medieval Japan. I brought it up because, as you might have heard, Miracle Kidz is crafting a modern sequel to River City Ransom that will release for consoles in Japan this summer and on PCs next year.
Miracle Kidz, which is working with some ex-Technos staff, is the same doujin group that released River City Dodge Ball All Stars!! for PC and XBLIG not too long ago. The team is also releasing a WiiWare port for that dodgeball title to Japan in two months.
If we’re lucky, publishers will overlook that hardly anyone bought River City Soccer Hooligans or River City Super Sports Challenge last year, and will decide to localize these games in the U.S. anyway.
