PRODUCT DETAILS

Partner Store collaboration with Retro-Bit. We ship internationally.

Kunio wins a trip to the United States on a quiz show and travels with his pal Riki and hot-tempered Godai.  While there, they find Johnny who invites them to join a basketball tournament.  Never one to back down from a challenge, Kunio and friends set up at Niagara Falls and form Team Nekketsu to take on teams like the hip New York Keys, the carrier-bound Navy Seals, the psychic Florida Espers, the wranglin’ Texas Boys, the blazing Hawaii Fires, the buff San Francisco Rose, and the magical Las Vegas Gamblers.  This version of Nekketsu! Street Basketball All-Out Dunk Heroes has been newly translated into English for its first physical release outside of Japan.

A) This is an open pre-order during the designated dates. Whatever is ordered once the window is closed is what will be produced.


Q) Will there be another reprint?
A) Like all of the titles we offer, this will be an open pre-order window for a limited time. There are no plans to reissue this collection.


Q) Will other titles from the Nekketsu series get a release as well?
A) At this time, we cannot make any further commitments. We are proud to work alongside Arc System Works in providing these games a physical release for the West.

A) The NES cartridges use a 5-volt chip to retain your console’s performance and will not damage your console.
