'Is this fun yet?' It will be next week!

Hey, Generic Dudes, guess what? Aksys Games has announced that they are, in fact, bringing the two Technos games found in the ESRB database to the Virtual Console -- along with another one that just happens to be the best game on the Nintendo Entertainment System!

River City Ransom. Next week. Five dollars.

The week after that, Double Dragon will become available (which would be awesome news if not for OMG RIVER CITY RANSOM SERIOUSLY), and the week after that, Renegade. If you don't have a Wii, you should probably go ahead and buy one now, because it just got its killer app.

I keep looking for games to get, and the pool has run dry on goodness for me.

Until I read this. So happy I don't work Mondays....

Maybe now i'll get to see what all the fuss is about

I missed a lot by not getting into gaming before 1999

Holy crap, RCR! Yes! I can't wait to rope a friend into this. 2P always makes the projectile!

Woohoo!

It's been far too long since I've made some Generic Dudes BARF, and I get to introduce my wife to a game my brother and I played the living crap out of years ago.

I had no idea you liked River City Ransom!

TheOverlord#2(Toon Link FTW)(1461-5875-9923) @ Apr 16th 2008 8:28PM

Never played RCR but I played DD on an emulator before and its fun.

Ill wait for you're RCR review on Monday before getting RCR. Then DD here I come! :P

Then all I need is SMRPG and Earthbound and I can die happy!(How can I balance Internet, RCR, DD, Brawl, and MKWii!?)

Meant "your". This meant to be a reply to David Hinkle's post... >_<

Oh, and add Okami to the list of games to play(2 weeks for Okami, then MKWii, a lil bit of Internet, RCR & DD in spare time...)

Never had many games on my old systems. This will be fun.

The_Geomonkeys @ Apr 16th 2008 10:08PM

Oh yeah! I played through RCR when I was a kid and I loved it. Truly looking forward to this one.

I am really wondering about the TurboGraphix version. Well, PC engine version anyhow, that system's lineup got hosed in the US amirite?

Much as I love the game, and as much of a classic as it is, if the semi 16-bit version is better in some way, i think I'd rather have it.
