It's out now! Go forth and purchse it!

On a down-side, turns out they've left out the multiplayer. However, you can trade the data of your built-up and customized character over to a friend's copy for them to either play as or use as the computer-controlled second character.

Yeah, it saves your stats and money and such. Not your progress through the game, though (like what bosses you've beaten and such).

Then I am putting it on the top of my list.
It's games like RCR that's just perfect to play on the side during a lecture at school. Unforunately I will be getting out in two weeks.. but I'll probably get it anyway, just because it's so fun.

Thanks for the update, JD.. I definitly would not have noticed without it.

Some people on another forum I go to have the ROM...from what they're saying, it's a freaking amazing game. Pity I have no money right now.

From what I've seen... LOTS of options. Dunno why they're all in there but I guess to "tweak" the game for a user's needs. (...Adjust the GRAVITY?!? Sure that Atlus didn't ship the beta version?)

Seems to be OK aside from the improvements that should have been made.

Nope, it's right there in the pause menu options.

Adjust gravity, WTF?

Customizable characters are a plus. I'm definitely going to get this.

Just keep in mind, changing your character's appearence needs to be unlocked, AND is hidden anyways, AND isn't cheap.

I picked it up today.

Expect me to stop posting as I play through it. Repeatedly.

Yes. Do play through it repeatedly. When you beat slick, after showing a picture for a long while until a song finishes playing (I'm wondering if there's just some problem with the emulation which is causing the credits to not show or something... Yes, I don't have the actual cart yet. Short on money.) It'll give you the option to save your data. Playing through the game with data that has beaten Slick, you have an unshown reputation stat which is raised or lowered by certain things (check gamefaqs for more details, guys). Depending on your reputation and other factors when playing on a Slick-beaten file, you can get the gang bosses to join you and form a posse (of up to four, including you and the second character if you started with one).

Do they still have that classical "Barf" line in this game? Then i'm so going to buy it. (it would be idiotic if they didn't...)

And more games seriously needs tweaking/cheat options. They are always so fun playing around with them now and then.

I honestly never finished the orginal NES game, I may as well take up that game and play it through.

wtf. i hate you.

Sounds like they added more features to this game.. remakes with more features, now that I like.. adjust gravity, is that just so you can like jump higher or something?
And I remember seeing oooold screenshots of this game.. do they still look the same? With the robes and stuff?

1) Yes, they still say "BARF!" In fact, the "Homeboys" say "BizARF!"

2) Adjusting the gravity doesn't just affect jumping. It effects any objects that have motion through the air. Thrown weapons, someone getting knocked around by punches, jumping people, etc.

3) Yes, they still have the Japanese school uniform. The localization team was either too lazy to edit the sprites this time, or they thought it was better with the uniforms. Personally, I would have preferred an option to choose one or the other. Note that the T-shirts and jeans look was only in the American (River City Ransom) and European (Street Gangs) versions on the NES. The Japanese version (Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari) always had the Japanese school uniforms. Additionally, one may note the lack of little (male) kids in the malls. Those were US/Europe added things as well. The Japanese version always only had schoolgirls in the malls

Oh, and I forgot to mention this before, but Atlas plans to bring more Nekketsu games to the GBA. Unless my information fails me, the two games they announced are:

"Downtown Nekketsu Jidaigekidayo" (Also known as Technos Samurai), an NES game which used an improved RCR engine and put the Kunio/Nekketsu characters a feudal Japanese setting (alot of stuff from it ended up in RCR EX, like the CPU controlled second player, being able to throw buckets/trashcans onto peoples' heads, damage displayed when you hit people, etc.).

And a Nekketsu Soccer game. They weren't specific. There have been two soccer games in the series, the first of which (Nekketsu Koukou Soccer) was released stateside as Nintendo World Cup Soccer. The latter, and better of the two, (Kunio Kun no Nekketsu Soccer Leage) was planned for a stateside release as Crash n' the Boys Soccer Challenge, but they never got started on the translation or anything. (Technos was planning to bring alot of the Nekketsu sports games over under the Crash n' the Boys title).

Both of these games (and any others Altus makes), when/if they get a stateside release can be expected to be done so as River City games. The ending of RCR EX hints at sequels... "RC High finally found peace... But would it last? The new student body president changed it all... The next chapter has already begun..." In the Nekketsu games following RCR the guy who is the Student Council President is the "main bad guy." He tried repeatedly to get rid of the Nekketsu gang (Kunio's gang) not through violence, but through athletic activities. You may remember him as the guy who throws a hissy fit in his dad's office at the beginning of Crash n' The Boys' Street Challenge. He never actually participates in any of the events, being the wuss he is. (Note: They replaced Rikki (Ryan)'s graphics in Crash n' The Boys' Street Challenge with those for this guy when they brought it to the US)

Oh yeah, on a Slick beaten file, there's some nice new toys that sometimes pop up in a certain hidden store.

I downloaded the ROM.... I really like the whole bit of combos.(sort of) Anyway, JDavis, when I posted the thread about this last year, I also thought "Hey, it would be also very very cool if they GBA'd the Nekketsu Tournament Game.(Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu?) The relay race and olympics ones are just too much for me.

Yes Ziff, you said something like *writhing around the floor in pleasure* in my thread when I first heard news about RCR EX. I loved that quote so much, I put it in my custom title.
