Natsume posted a message on Twitter a short while ago which definitely seems to be teasing something related to River City Ransom. Here’s the tweet in question:


For those that are unaware, enemies say “barf” when you hit them in the River City Ransom games. There have been quite a few entries in the series that have stayed in Japan, so maybe we’ll be seeing a localization announcement soon. The latest title, River City Ransom SP, came out in Japan on April 28.

River City Ransom was the latest release on the Wii U Virtual Console. For an extensive look at the title, check out the video below.

This week’s North American Virtual Console release has been revealed through Nintendo’s website. Tomorrow, Wii U owners can purchase River City Ransom for $4.99.

River City Ransom takes place in River City, where our heroes, Alex and Ryan, find a letter on Ryan’s locker from a guy named Slick. The letter says that Ryan’s girlfriend, Cyndi, has been kidnapped, and Slick has taken River City hostage with the help of countless gangs and evil bosses. It’s up to our heroes to save poor Cyndi and free River City from the clutches of Slick and his underlings. You can play as Alex and take on the challenge alone or battle as Alex and Ryan simultaneously with a friend. Kick and punch to fight your way through gang members, evil bosses, and other goons. Or use a variety of weapons ranging from a chain whip, brass knuckles, and a tire, to name a few. Raise your stats by eating right, and gain new techniques by reading books. With your fighting prowess and never-ending spirit, the bad guys won’t know what hit them!

River City Ransom is also available on 3DS. Arc System Works brought out the portable Virtual Console version in November 2013.
