River City Girls Zero Has Been Delayed Until "Early 2022"

WayForward wants to deliver the "most accurate port"

Its sad that this is such a rarity among devs.

@iLikeUrAttitude RESPECT TO WAYFORWARD INDEED

@bimmy-lee oh no. I smell a certain kind of hell from this news..

So that's what this game is. Now I'm even more interested. I still need to play RCG.

first step failed by titling it "River City Girls Zero"

Really really enjoyed River City Girls actually. Would definitely play any localised Kunio game but the added content is the BARF on the cake.

Didn't even know it was supposed to come out before then. Have been very excited for this release.

I'm waiting for this 😊❤️

Been looking forward to this one. I can wait if it means the porting and translation will be done will. It was one of the Super Famicon's best beat 'em ups.

Gotta say, that artwork that tries to depict the original cover with the modern character styles doesn't look good.

I can wait, do what ya gotta do Way Forward.

No surprise here. 2021 was a ***** year for games...at least 2022 will be better.

Get on with Advance Wars.

I don't understand why it's taking so long to port a 16 Bit game to Switch?
There's a working fan translation of Shin Nekketsu Koha: Kunio-tachi no Banka that already exists.

@RubyDevilNine

I am inclined to believe they are not new.

WOO a good honest delay. Its wayforward though so I am 100% okay with this. River City Girls is so worth the wait. That soundtrack is wow. Megan McDuffee is also worth the wait. Thanks bye.

@RetroOutcast Really? For me it's been fantastic. Metroid Dread, Monster Hunter Stories 2, Monster Hunter Rise, Dying Light port, Spelunky HD, Spelunky 2, Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity, Shin Megami Tensei 5, Neo The World Ends With You and many more just from Nintendo alone. Ghosts of Tsushima, Spider-Man Miles Morales, Resident Evil 8, Ratchet and Clank sequel and those are just some...

Then again those didn't appeal to you.

I’ve said it before I’ll say it again: It’s WayForward so it’s all good. They produce quality on the regular.

@roy130390 I suppose it's all subjective. Out of those, only ratchet and clank sounds good but I'm not paying $500+ just to play it on a new console that most people can't even get ahold of yet. Chances are it's also probably a game that could have worked as a cross generation release from what I have seen of it.

@Handsomistic15 I feel like their track record's been a bit hit-and-miss recently. The Shantae DLC for instance was way the ***** overpriced for what it was and took ages to actually release...then they went the "launch now, fix a year later" route for 7S. We'll see what comes of RCG 2 and Zero.

@CharlieGirl Right. I'd totally get it if they were talking about the sequel, but 2021 has been the year of constant delays so it also doesn't surprise me too much. Clockwork Aquario also got pushed back almost half a month just for America after already having been pushed back last year to Q2 2021 only to be pushed back until damn near 2022. Granted, that wasn't an entire port...but still in all pretty weird.

Sonic Origins also seems to be going through the same issue, and all it is is a compilation of some Genesis and a Sega CD game. I don't want to pull the "lazy dev" card since I know people get triggered by that around here but...something is definitely going on in the industry and I have a feeling its more than just covid with some of these.

@RetroOutcast From what I understand Ratchet and Clank is probably the only game that might not have a way of being on the PS4 as the rift mechanic, which changes entire scenarios fast and is pretty much the main one, wasn't manageable at all on it. Then again, I'm no expert haha, I do remember seeing information about that more than once though.

Also yeah, I'm with you, that game or any other isn't enough to buy an expensive console. Personally I tried it with a friend and it's fantastic, but I won't buy a PS5 for... I don't know, maybe ever, depending on what games it gets.

@NintendoByNature - You, me, Lord Zed, we know what kinda hell this is.

@roy130390 I doubt we'll be seeing a bunch of legitimate exclusives since there's an emphasis on cross generation support. At least not for a few years.
