The key art for Feudal Bros: Tonosama #1.

Japanese action game Deae Tonosama Appare Ichiban, developed by Sunsoft, launched for Super Famicom in Japan almost exactly 30 years ago, on March 31, 1995. It was never made available in English — until now. Ratalaika Games and Shinyuden are re-releasing the game with the title of Feudal Bros: Tonosama #1 for PC and consoles in just ten days.

In the game, Edo-period Japan has returned to peace following years of violent wars… but it won’t last. There is danger lurking that only two noblemen can stop: Lord Baka, a feudal lord, and Prince Bouffon, a prince from France. Each receives a message from their dead father before setting out across Japan (beyond) to track the threat and stop it. They are very brave men, yes. But they are also very stupid…
