"Tecmo World Cup Soccer " is not to be confused with Nintendo World Cup of the same year, nor Tecmo Cup Soccer Game released in September 1992, is a port of Tehkan World Cup adapted to the NES hardware.
A few " Kunio-kun " games were localized for the North American market; namely " Super Dodge Ball ", " River City Ransom " ( considered by critics to be a cult classic ) and " Nintendo World Cup ", but none maintain any connection with each other.
After " Nekketsu KMha Kunio-kun ", Technos Japan reused the Kunio character for several more games, beginning with " Nekketsu KMkM Dodgeball Bu " ( the Japanese version of " Super Dodge Ball " ) released for the arcades and the Famicom / NES . Some were released overseas such as " River City Ransom " ( the American version of " Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari " ), " Nintendo World Cup " ( " Nekketsu KMkM Dodgeball Bu : Soccer Hen " ) and " Crash'n the Boys : Street Challenge " ( " Bikkuri Nekketsu Shin Kiroku ! " ), but most of them were released only in Japan.
