River City Girls Zero begins with a newly created anime intro featuring Kunio, Riki, Kyoko, and Masako, the four main protagonists of the River City Girls series. Upon starting a new game, players will also be treated to a new, fully voiced digital comic that sets up this classic game’s place in the series storyline. Players can also choose between two different translations (one more serious than the other), enable widescreen borders, and view scans of the Japanese instruction manual and 3D recreations of the original box art and cartridge.
