Which are in turn influenced by…
Stay in school.
lol every sprite style is influenced by one game? Silly nigglet, looks like you dropped out a while ago.
It’s influenced by source sprite material that pre-dates his work, including (but not limited to) RCR, Metal Slug, etc.
On a related note: we need an, “I’m done. You’re an idiot.” button on SRK.
I was thinking if the kids who bought that Scott Pilgrim even notice this, if could get funded real fast.
Here’s a quick primer:

http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/kunio/kunio2.htm - Table of contents showing there’s more than 1 page is on page 2 but not the first for some reason
And maybe the designs need to be more distinct like the OG’s rather than all these characters they’re making and are too cluttered for the Res/DPI they’re doing.
We had Renegade too, think the neighbor had River City Ransom. Renegade was fuckin hard.
Aw man, fuckin’ Renegade… that takes me back. I still have RCR in mothballs somewhere.
Old-school has been kicking ass with these Kickstarters. Maybe the big corporations will see there is a market for smaller scale stuff that doesn’t cost 50 million to develop and needs to sell 10 million to break even on.
they have my full attention.
The silliest thing I can think of in that game is finding a really long screen, throwing a weapon (not a box, trash can, or tire) and running into it while it’s still in flight.
Also how many people thought there was a way to jump across the water where you find Benny and Clyde?
Members of the original RCR crew and a company called Miracle Kidz promised a sequel for summer 2011…they took all the “resources” they got from interested parties…then changed their minds, and didn’t bother to inform anyone. They just stopped printing articles hyping the game…and everybody somehow forgot except me. Here we go again, this time in america, and with fan money on the line. I’ll just watch. If they couldn’t get this shit off the ground in the country where that series is most popular, I don’t really want to get my hopes up too high for america…and with real money on the line. People have tried dumber scams and gotten away scott free.
Miracle Kidz did do a graphically upscaled pc version of Super Dodgeball (River City Dodgeball Stars, plays right from the .exe file. It’s clean) http://mkidz.jp/dbz/dl/dbz25t.zip
This KS doesn’t look too professional.
Title says official but all they did was ask Nintendo or whoever the brand owner is to give them the license so none of the original devs are actually on board.
Honestly if those guys are so passionate about making a spiritual successor to RCR, they could’ve done it without financial aid seeing how NES games had only 1 programmer and a handful of designers.
At least they should’ve had something to show for, other than trying to be funny.
Not sure if I even want a sequel because the game is pretty fun at first, but gets a boring farm fest at certain points and also becomes pretty dull due to the lack of mechanics.
Yeah I know it’s a NES and I can’t expect too much but I don’t feel like the game has aged exceptionally well and there so many better beat 'em ups than this one.
I hope they get it done and it doesn’t suck, but I won’t back it like I do with Mighty No.9.
What I’d really like to see is another sequel to Chip and Dale.
One that is hard as fuck.
Also does anyone remember the football game with the RCR characters that was sold on the 3 in 1 cartridge that came with the European NES?
Jesus I hate football but that was the most fun football game I ever played.
In fact I played through that shit before I even bothered touching Super Mario Bros. which was on the same cartridge.
Wonder if it would be possible to get Comix Zone off of Sega’s grubby hands. Sega literally hasn’t done jack sheet with the vast majority of their IP’s and instead choose to focus on bullshit like Yakuza and whatever the fuck else they’re making.
…if Yuzo Kashiro got a team together to do like “Uncovered Fist” or some shit…now THAT.
LOL do you know how many coins i left bouncing on that grass tryin that
poor moose… so many times did i toss his ass in that construction ditch
now i would love for them to take a stab at World Cup Soccer or Dodgeball then cause those were classics as well…

Kick a trash can at a wall so hard, the rebound could kill me if I fucked up my jump.

lol. I remember that. "The pipe I threw hit the wall, bounced back, and killed me. That is totally awesome!"
The thing I liked doing was picking up people and throwing them into one of those abysses that you randomly find in the game. They’re not even roped off.
This was in the day in age when beating a video game meant something (now that I look back on it, I guess not much?). I was pretty excited to beat this game along with TMNT.
what was the name of the game that was a parody of this game and a few other nes games.
Double Dragon II: Wander Of The Dragons
What is this, like the 9th attempted?
Oh well, 9th times the charm I guess.
Didn’t Super Dodge Ball run on the RCR engine? Is it possible?
There better be people that yell out “BARF!” when you beat them down, a game can’t be considered a true River City Ransom successor if it does not have that.
Retro City Rampage?
Seeing as how one of the reward tiers is titled BARF! I would assume they have this in mind.
I understand the whole retro craze but why not go in the same direction with making the game look nice like they did for that Scott Pilgrim game?
^ Yeah that. A lot of developers who go the retro, nostalgia grabbing route don’t understand that most gamers who grew up playing 90’s games want the best of both worlds: Retro game play, but with the modern technology and innovations that work.
Scott Pilgrim was an excellent example of how to attain the perfect balance between old and new IMO.
