NES brawler River City Ransom is showing its age a little now, though it's still a fun little title, with fans of the game no doubt hoping the newly-announced sequel will feature the same quality playability.
Miracle Kidz has proudly announced River City Ransom 2 is in development for home consoles this summer, with a development team including staff members from the original game released way back in 1989. Sadly there's few other details, such as whether the game will be 2D or 3D and which consoles it's headed to, but with the game's Nintendo pedigree there's certainly a good chance it'll head to Wii, most likely on WiiWare.
BARF.

Wow that's pretty cool. Have online multiplayer for a WiiWare game and you'll have my money.
Yay...
I REALLY hope this comes to the Wii, but I got a baaaad feeling that it won't, knowing companies today and their BS attitude towards HD and ultra-realism.
Heck Yeah!
This is one my all time Fav Brawler for The GBA!
gald to see it coming back
I haven't even read the article but I will when I get home... all I see is RCR2 and I am ALL OVER THAT, STAT!!!
River City Ransom HD Remix sounds like my definition of the perfect game.
Hope it's better than River City Ransom EX on the GBA Would have been way better if the save system wasn't so convoluted and iffy
Still, I hope this one will end up on the 3DSware. Seriously, with the other "River City-esque" games on the DS, this one would fit in well
Best news I got all day. =)
OMG,OMG,OMG,OMG,OMG,OMG,OMG,OMG,OMG,OMG,OMG,OMG,OMG,OMG,OMG,OMG, OMG, OMG,OMG,OMG!!!!!!! I'm excited
It is get harder to buy Wii Points with the decline of good games on the service. I probably only get 1000 points every few months so I probably will only get this if it is on the XBLA, which I more regularly get points for.
The next two (and likely final) purchases will be Rival Turf and FFVI.
Omg, this is simply amazing. Even if I have no consoles it will appear on, I will play this.
wow totally unexpected...I'll be pickin this up
OMG I have River City Ransom both on the cartridge and on the VC since I dont have an NES. I will defiantly be getting this one. RCR was one of my favorite games growing up. Who can ever forget BARF!!!!!
Yay!!!
Awesome! This kinda came out of the blue, looking forward to this.
These kind of games should come to handled systems so you can play them anytime and everywhere.
@16
it did, for the GBA.
Awesome. Can't wait.
wouldnt it be a b***h if it came out on VC...with all the cry babies complaining about prices?
500 points, 600 points?
i see why yall dont like me.
^I don't understand that statement.
I just hope they don't screw this up. Besides, Scott Pilgrim was kind of enough of a sequel for me.
^ lotsa people complain about VC prices...i was just predicting the aftermath of some people that cry about point costs...wii ware, vc and etc
i dunno
in other words: "i love River City Ransom but I refuse to pay more than 1 dollar more than the original because i used to own it" type stuff
I'm all over a retro game, getting a sequel, w/ some original staff on-board.
^hell yeah
Another new nostalgia game, eh game industry?
I hope it's as fun as the first.
... Who the hell is Miracle Kidz? Did Million rename their company?
This is a great way to bring the masterpiece to a new audiance. This and Cave Story 3d will cool the hot summer heat down.
This is a dream right?...
RCR2!!!??? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!!!!!!
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
This will be game of the year- NO, game of the CENTURY!
This is great news. I hope it resembles Scott Pilgrim Vs The World since that game looks so cool and it's not on Wiiware.
However, I hope that they fix a lot of stuff that the original had like the fact that only 2 enemies can appear on the screen at a time and that enemies could only be killed with the last punch/kick
This is going to be AWESOME!
Wasn't there one Kunio-kun game released on the SNES as a sequel?
@CrimsonMoonMist
yeah there was a sequel for SNES.
I sampled the SNES one and it was decent from the time I got to play it... wish it had've made it over seas.
lol Code Monkeys looks just like this!
If this doesn't come to Wiiware then... BARF!
An xbox live arcade remake..BARF!!!!!!!Contra hard corps was bad,and rush n' atack for XBLA looks bad and RCR2 is now getting the treatment!!!!
