River City Girls is a 2019 beat 'em up video game developed and published worldwide by WayForward and published in Japan by Arc System Works. A spin-off in the Kunio-kun franchise, the game stars Misako and Kyoko who fight their way through enemies and obstacles to rescue their kidnapped boyfriends, series protagonists Kunio and Riki. The game was released for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One in September 2019, and for Amazon Luna in October 2020. A PlayStation 5 version was released on January 18, 2022.

Shin Nekketsu Kōha: Kunio-tachi no Banka (1994), where Misako and Kyoko previously appeared, was localized by WayForward as a prequel, River City Girls Zero, being released for the Nintendo Switch on February 14, 2022 and September 21 on other platforms. A sequel, titled River City Girls 2, was released by WayForward and Arc System Works that same year in December for Japan, Asia and the US.
