In their latest Kickstarter campaign update, the Conatus Creative team announced that Yoshihisa Kishimoto (Renegade and Double Dragon) has agreed to join the River City Ransom: Underground project as a creative consultant.
Marian from the Double Dragon series and Provie from River City Ransom: Underground will be playable characters alongside the existing cast in River City Girls 2, developer WayForward announced.
Kinglink writes" If you talk about the great NES titles, almost everyone is going to talk about Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Brothers. It’s a fact, they’re some of the best games, perhaps of all time. However, once you get past the ultra common and popular titles, the NES has a few dubious games, as well as some hidden gems. We’re going to talk about a successor to one such hidden gem, River City Ransom. If you’ve never played it, you missed out on a really great NES game, it was a fighting game with RPG elements and a decent story for the time."
The Alex Mauer saga continues as big name Youtubers have been targeted, although there may be a plan to deal with the ongoing issues.
Double Dragon and River City Ransom... now those are some names I haven't heard from in a long time. Spent many an hour in the arcade jump kicking my way through levels.
Big names attached to a Kickstarter is always a good sign.
Yeah, having an original dev will help them out a lot.
Still remember playing Double Dragon 2 and 3 on the NES. It was the game that pushed me to get a placing in the top 3 of my class so that i can get a NES. Ended up second for that that year back in 1988 and as promised my dad bought me a NES and with Double Dragon 2 for christmas that year. I still remember the theme song in my head like it was yesterday.
There as was nothing like playing co-op on Double dragon then until Contra came along lol!.
There's listening to your fans and adding features, balancing, etc... and then there's going out and adding talent to your team after listening to fans. That's a pretty strong move by the Devs
