River City Ransom 2???

[treismac]

I learned a while back through various interwebs that River City Ransom 2 was coming to WiiWare in Japan this Summer. "Awesome!" you say? Yes. Awesome. Anyway, summer is pretty much over and I haven't read anything else about this resurrected cult classic. The game is designed by Miracle Kidz, which has members of the now defunct Technos team working on the project so it ought to have the same spirit and flavor of the original. This could be really great. Any former River City Ransom fans out there eagerly awaiting this game too?

This is the first I've heard of it, sounds like it could be interesting. I hope they don't try to make it better than the original though, can't get much better than that :P

There literally are no news articles past the flurry that were posted in March.

PS: Anyone played their "Cross Country" Famicom game? Pretty hokey. Called Downtown - Nekketsu Koushin Kyoku - Soreyuke Daiundouka.

There was a port of super dodgeball in the indie store for awhile. I gave them 800 points for it.

Yes I have. "Hokey" is a good word for it alright. I thought their ice hockey game for the Famicom was pretty sweet, though.

Do you mean what was released stateside as Crash 'n' the Boys Street Challenge?

So is this a port of the Super Famicom sequel, a revival of the canned GBA sequel, or a completely new project?

No, no. Crash n' the Boys is something different and is a fairly fun game in the Kunio series. I ought to revisit Crash n' the Boys come to think of it...
