Riki Densetsu

Riki Densetsu also known as Legend of Riki is a Beat Em Up game developed and published by Arc System Works for the Nintendo 3DS. It was released exclusively in Japan on December 12, 2012. It is a prequel to Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun Special (a remake of Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun, the first game in the Kunio-kun franchise) with Riki in the role of protagonist before he meets Kunio for the first time. It is a spin-off game in the Kunio-kun franchise.

Riki, a third-year student at Hanazono High School, is a prospective soccer player and a member of the sports club. However, the cheering squad of the opposing school in the upcoming prefecture tournament attacks and injures the players of the club. Angered, Riki attacks and beats up the cheering squad, but this draws the attention of the police, who take custody of Riki and take him to the nearest station.

The following day at the principal’s office, Riki is sentenced to a half-year suspension, and the soccer club is disbanded. This incident is the catalyst for Riki’s fall from grace. Shortly, powerful enemies begin attacking Hanazono High School one after another, with the intent of taking control of the school. It is here that Riki builds his legend, with his deadly “Mach Punch“. The game has no mini-games like in Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun Special, but the item drop rate has increased.
