About the game:

Based on SUNSOFT’s original City Hunter game released in 1990 on PC Engine, City Hunter is a remastered version published by Clouded Leopard Entertainment.

Inspired by the first season of Sunrise’s legendary anime, City Hunter follows Tokyo’s renowned ‘cleaner,’ Ryo Saeba. In this original side story, he faces off against a sinister megacorporation whose conspiracy threatens the world. To celebrate City Hunter’s rerelease, English, French, Italian, German and Spanish localization has been implemented into the original game.

And as a tribute to the anime’s original ending theme, TM Network’s iconic “Get Wild” has also been added to the game!

About TM NETWORK "Get Wild":

The song was released on April 8th, 1987, through EPIC Records. It was written as the ending theme song for the anime television series "City Hunter." Its striking intro starts playing during the very last scene of the episode and transitions into speedy ending and closing credits. This perfectly synched music and anime made a massive impact on viewers. It has since become a beloved national anime song, cherished not only in Japan but also overseas. In 2023, April 8th (the day "Get Wild" was released) was recognized as "Get Wild Day." In October 2024, "Get Wild" surpassed 100 million cumulative streams.
