River City: Rival Showdown[]

River City: Rival Showdown is a remake of Downtown Nekketsu Story. The game takes place before River City Super Sports Challenge ~All Stars Special~.

In the story mode, Nishimura is first seen on the evening of the first day with Yasuo Sawaguchi at the Midoricho Shops. The two run into Kunio and Nishimura challenges Kunio to a fight at the abandoned warehouse, as he believes fighting in the street is not an ideal location. Nishimura then goes to wait at the top floor of the warehouse and fights Kunio once he arrives. Upon being defeated, Nishimura pleads for mercy and proposes an alliance to help take down Tadashi Kinoshita, who currently has Hakutaka Industrial High School under his thumb. If Kunio accepts his proposal, Nishimura will lay out the strategy and time for the following day. If Kunio instead decides to decline Nishimura's alliance, he will get angry and have a rematch fight with Sawaguchi and some Hakutaka students joining the mix.

On the second day, Nishimura and Sawaguchi arrive to the warehouse late when Kunio has already dealt with Kinoshita. The two were hoping to get in on some of the action and expressed their disappointment, though would be surprised by Kinoshita getting up for a third time. Kinoshita calls Nishimura a backstabber, though Nishimura argues that he never wanted to be under his thumb in the first place and was sick of his party ticket scam. Nishimura challenges Kinoshita to a brawl and get angry with him when he attacks Sawaguchi. Upon the group defeating Kinoshita and his goons, Nishimura expresses his gratitude to Kunio for helping him free Hakutaka High School from Kinoshita and tells Kunio that they owe him a favor for whenever he's in a pinch.

During the final day on the true ending, Nishimura and Sawaguchi will show up to Reihō Academy to assist Kunio and Riki in their fight against Kinoshita. When Kinoshita is defeated by the group, he tells Kunio that he and Sawaguchi will hold the fort so nobody gets past them, though decides to team up with Sanjūrō Sugata and Haruka Nanase the floor below when they hear Kinoshita start to get back up. When Kunio finds Nishimura and Sawaguchi with Sugata and Nanase, Nishimura explains that he thought the two might've ran into some trouble and that having a group of four fighting together would ensure they wouldn't be defeated.

In Riki's Story, Nishimura appears alongside Sawaguchi during the final day and demands Riki to hand over his belt. With Tsuneo Kamijō and Noriyuki Yamamoto joining the mix to also take Riki's belt, Nishimura threatens the two with violence and assures that he will be the one to take the belt. He then joins the three in the fight against Riki.
