Another tournament composed of several different challenges rocks the streets near Nekketsu High, and since series hero Kunio (Named Crash in this English version) isn't going to turn down a challenge anytime soon, every gang in the city sends its team hoping to come up on top.

Crash 'N the Boys features the same basic gameplay engine and mechanics found in the rest of the Nekketsu High games, you control a character in side-scrolling levels and try to defeat your opponents using an arsenal of attacks and special moves. Unique to C'NB is that in order to clear the 5 stages you must also accomplish a series of sport-themed objectives. There's a throwing event, a golfing event, swimming, jumping and all-out fighting events, all with unique twists inspired by the street / gangs theme of the game (ie. the jumping event involves jumping across the rooftops in the city).

Depending on your performance in each event you can earn medals that can be exchanged for power-ups and stat increases, and the game supports 2 players co-op or vs. gameplay.

It's River City Ransom with a side order of Track & Field.

What do you get when you combine the River City Ransom theme with Track and Field-style gameplay? You get Crash 'n the Boys: Street Challenge. The game takes the street gang theme and creates some fitting Olympic-style events to go along with it. Sounds..

How does Nintendolife know that this game will be released in Europe (hence the extra 100 points price tag)?

Was never released in Europe and if Europe does get it, it will likely be an import

Just a guess, we always add that for games not released in one region just in case they will be released there on VC!

Super Dodge Ball has still not made its way here to Europe, so I don't think Crash 'N the Boys will make it either. Why has 'A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia' not gotten an extra 100 points price tag for Europe yet, for instance...?

5. Drake 03 Sep 2009, 15:58 BST

That one was actually released here.

6. Ratengo 03 Sep 2009, 16:03 BST

OH, I didn't know that A Boy and His Blob was actually released in Europe! Hmm, Super Pitfall instead then...?

7. Drake 03 Sep 2009, 16:08 BST

Ok you got us there

The point is that Nintendolife shouldn't be in hurry to guess/assume future European import titles because it makes some people to build wrongfully expectations, only to be disappointed if the games never comes here to our VC.

Ratengo, to avoid dissapointment, I would just go by whether or not it has been rated in your respective region. On the coming soon it always says it if it is ESRB rated, or whatever ratings board your country has.

Aksys has got to be one of my favorite VC publishers
