Not a huge fan of the classic River City Ransom (though I'm a gamer from that time), but despite that, I gotta comment on how great the Kickstarter trailer was. Nice job on that! Of course, the game is looking great too.

Fuck yeah! Oh and I have their book shelf at home too, fuck that's all I really got from the whole video.

PC only, with no plans for a console port.

It's an excellent choice for a project, but it's one I can't get excited about.

I completely agree with you on this. RCR was my favorite NES game, and this looks faithful and very fun but I just don't play games on PC. Here's hoping for a console release in the future.

river city ransom doesn't need a motherfuckin sequel

Kind of a lousy time to bring this to Kickstarter. It's going to get totally overshadowed by Mighty No. 9.

What hasn't been kicked to the curb by that juggernaut?

 

[Kid Panda]

Why don't they just localize the 3DS game?

Gross.

It's too bad that they're not the original programmers.

Doesnt matter.

These people care more about the original game than the creators.

Their appeal video was trying too hard to be funny, but the design and gameplay demo looked really good. Might be worth tossing them $15 and seeing what happens.

 

[FilthyRear]

I'm all set with this, thanks

 

[F4U57]

That guy was annoying. But, I really want to play that game! Beat 'em ups are my number one and this just looks too good to pass up.

+1

Can we stop doing the I'm-so-retro-blocky-sprite look now? Can we just do some awesome high quality 2D instead and stop pretending these games came out on the NES?

Isn't there a sequel on the Super Famicom and another one on the 3DS?

Also game looks good. Trailer had a lot of heart in it.

I thought Scott Pilgrim captured the "retro" look well while still looking good and modern.

I'm agreed though with you - I want some really nice high resolution 2D stuff.

 

[SNKorSWM]

There are plenty of other kunio games that they could model the sprite from that don't look blocky. Super Dodgeball on the neo for example.

Wasn't there a Metal Slug esq game that went the Scott Pilgrim sprite style route?

that would take a helluva lot more skill, though

Honestly never knew that kunio was the term to describe the series. I just called em Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari style games all this time. I'm dead serious. So it's the Kunio-Kun series. I had no idea these games were all connected. I just thought they shared the same art style.

Man I've got to replay all these games now with my new found knowledge. Thank you SNKorSWM!
