Check out the City Hunter teaser trailer, which showcases gameplay footage along with TM NETWORK‘s classic City Hunter theme “Get Wild” below:
City Hunter was developed by SUNSOFT and is recognized as the only official City Hunter game ever created. This remaster has Red Art Games credited for development and Western distribution, with Clouded Leopard Entertainment as the publisher.
The story description for the remaster reads:
My name is Ryo Saeba, also known as City Hunter. In this profession, I’m a recognized professional “sweeper.”
I handle various types of jobs, from safeguarding beautiful women to carrying out assassinations. Essentially, I’m a cleaner who removes the filth from the city, leading a life that’s constantly on the edge. My partner, Kaori, happens to be the younger sister of my late best friend, yet she rarely brings any worthwhile jobs.
So, what kind of assignments am I facing today?
