This is one of the better action rpgs on the NES. Just picked

Agreed. One of the better beat'em ups out there.

You must mean role scrolling belt player.

>>4198162
I'm never calling it that

My favorite NES game. You should check out the GBA remake. If you're into sports, the rest of the series is good, too. Most of it wasn't released in America. Check it out, it's called "Kunio-Kun." They're sports games, but with the same beat 'em up style and controls.

It's a suburb slogger.

>>4198003
It's called "Street Gangs" here in yurup, and it's hands down one of the coolest games I ever played :)

>eating roll animation

One of my favorite games ever. Always wanted to make a rom hack that makes it golden axe-esque.

They're not all pallete swapped clones.

but you are wrong about that, their personalities are different, but the sprite sheet is very repititive and reuses the same 4 sprites. thats one reason i had trouble with my venture.

>>4198375
Super Dodge Ball was my shit

>one of the better action RPGs

Senpai, this is top-25 mandatory play on NES, some would even say it's top-10

>>4198003
Love this game. Rented it over and over as a kid. It's challenging but pretty fair.

I'm really enjoying the exaggerated facial expressions they all make.

favorite NES game, for all the reasons you described.

it's just perfect. wandering the city, grinding, learning new techniques, shopping...the music, the controls, the graphics, all of it. only thing they did wrong was make it too damn short.

the gba reboot that let you custom-build your own guys and create a gang of your own was cool. haven't played underground yet, but i will eventually and it looks like the labor of love this kind of game inspires.

10/10. nothing but good memories, replayable af.

Controversial opinion: RCR kinda sucks.

i have to wonder if bully took inspiration from these games

>i have to wonder if bully took inspiration from these games

wandering aimlessly underpowered grinding for upgrades, alone?

An oldie but a goodie, Seanbaby's classic review of the game:

>Kids, if there's one thing you take away from River City Ransom, may it be that violence is the answer to your problems. If you beat a gang member hard enough, he will become an honor student. And if you beat an honor student hard enough, he will give you his lunch money. And the final moral is: it's all about good grades and trips to the mall.

It's in my top 3 favorite NES games (along with SMB3 and Zelda 2), for sure. I wish two player didn't drop the frame rate so badly, but single player is so much fun it's a negligible complaint.

>>4199905
Stop shilling yourself dude

Wish it got a good 32 bit sequel.

Super Dodge Ball IIRC is in the same family of games. There is also a hilarious soccer one as well.

They all feature "super" strikes that are just plain zany.

>>4199602

The stores and items, though numerous, are too samey, and the special moves aren't balanced well. It does fall apart somewhat if you really look for depth in it.

It's still a cool game though.

RCR was my favorite video game for more than 20 years. Then, a couple of weeks ago, I finally played River City Tokyo Rumble on the 3DS. What a magnificent sequel.

>The music is awesome
Damn right. The whole Kunio NES/Famicom series has fantastic music. Check the Nekketsu Hokey game, it has the same "The Warriors" gangs feeling.

You know the rules, if they're corpses from decades ago, they're cool. If they're faggots from these days, they're shit. Basically /vr/.

>>4203119
I knew Seanbaby of back when he was popular and nowadays I think he's an unfunny faggot who sold out to Cracked.

>>4200232
kinda sad Kunio dint had games for the 32-128bit gen (psx,sat,n64,dc,ps2), at least there's this.

this is a remake of RCR, rival showdown is just a stupid name with no reason, the game is supposed to come out this year.

That web design is straight from 96.

>>4203214
He's also in his 40s. He obviously doesn't have that mean streak he had when he started his site... much like Maddox. He literally started the original version of seanbaby.com in 1994. Older than most people on 4chan.

>He literally started the original version of seanbaby.com in 1994.
I didn't know the WWW was a thing in '94.

>>4203868
Yeah, it had existed in a very primitive form for years. Hardly a traditional website, the original Seanbaby was just a few funny articles in text format. His first actual website started in 1998.
