Co-publishers Ratalaika Games and Shinyuden and developer SUNSOFT have announced a modern re-release for Feudal Bros: Tonosama #1,

Feudal Bros: Tonosama #1 is coming to Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, PS4, and PS5 on April 4th. The new release marks the first time the game has been released in English.

Originally released only in Japan as Deae Tonosama: Appare Ichiban in 1995, the game has become somewhat of a cult classic and remains extremely obscure and hard to find.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a gameplay video:

The 16-bit classic comes to the West for the very first time!

Japan. The Edo period. After many years of violent wars, peace has returned to the land, but it doesn’t seem like it will last for long. A new danger lurks in the shadows, and only two noblemen can stop it: Lord Baka, a Japanese feudal lord, and Prince Bouffon, a prince from the faraway land of France.

After they both receive a message from their deceased fathers, they set out on an adventure that will take them across Japan and beyond to track down and stop the mysterious threat. The only problem is that their bravery is matched only by their stupidity…
