Join Kunio, Riki, Misako, and Kyoko for bone-crunching, 16-bit, co-op beat-'em-up action - translated and released outside of Japan for the first time! Experience the origin of the River City Girls story as the hot-blooded heroes attempt to clear their names of a heinous crime by uppercutting, spin-kicking, stomping, and slamming every thug and two-bit criminal that gets in their way! Rock the jailhouse, clean up the carnival, and raise hell on the highway! The original 1994 graphics, soundtrack, and gameplay are augmented with new opening and closing motion-comic cutscenes, a new animated intro, and additional music by Megan McDuffee and DEMONDICE. Discover River City's past with this lost classic!

Celebrate the Spring by Draining Yuplay’s Profit
Spring time always comes with a sense of freshness and revitalization, so we decided to take a risk make a special storewide promotion that would absolutely kill our profit (and probably get our boss angry). All you have to do to participate is make an order of at least 20€ between 17.03.2026 15:00 CET and 23.03.2026 15:00 CET, and you will get a FREE game coming straight out of our pockets…
Even though Friday the 13th is widely considered as an unlucky date, we at YUPLAY are trying to flip the script for that and turn it into a lucky day for you and this time is not an exception to the rule! We are delighted to announce our FRIDAY 13TH promo and you should absolutely read on the article in order to find out how to best take advantage of this campaign and turn your luck in the right direction for the occasion…
