    River City Ransom EX (GBA)

    Anyone else picked this up yet ? It just receieved a US release.

    I've never played the 8-bit original, but was intrigued enough by an internet write up to actually buy it.

    From the limited time I've played of it so far its really quite entertaining.

    The graphics, as I understand it, remain very faithfull to the original so its nice in an `updated retro` kind of way ( like Double Dragon ).

    Its best described as a customisable RPG / Beat em up with lots of enemies (in a Streets of Rage style) and some nice comedy elements ( including thowing trash cans onto enemies heads and making them run around blindly ). There's also a large number of stats and moves to upgrade as you progress.

    Well worth a look into, even if like me you haven't played the original

    This one went straight under my radar somehow...will look in to it...even though I'm not the world's biggest fan of the original.

      This was my favourite game on the NES (it was called Street Gangs over here I think).

      Been looking forward to it for ages so I hope its worth it.

      Is it only available in the US at the moment?

        Yep I think so.

        The only other version is the Japanese one ( its called Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari EX - which sounds way cooler IMO )

        Theres no mention of a PAL release yet
