river city ransom and world cup soccer

[theshizzle3000]

Hey I just wanted to ask if anybody else here has noticed that the characters from river city ransom are identical to the ones from Nintendo World Cup were they made by the same designers or did they just copy the design. I am just curious.

On the main entry, they skip over the Game Boy/GBC completely. They only mention the SNES, NeoGeo, Arcade and PSX platforms. No mention is made of the Game Boy games until the list at the bottom.

So there's no real mention of the games on that platform at all.

... and NES. I miss the edit button.
