River City Ransom on VC next week (Joystiq)

[R.O.B.]

Filed under: Retro, Nintendo Wii

Wii owners might finally get a new Virtual Console title that they actually give a damn about, when the classic brawler River City Ransom hits the service next week. Publisher Aksys has confirmed that they'll be releasing the title next Monday, as part of Nintendo's regular weekly releases.

Hooray for nostalgia and all, but we're getting a bit concerned with the glut of content now available on Virtual Console. Perhaps Nintendo should implement a rating system, to help users distill the garbage from the few titles that are actually as awesome as we remember them.

It's called "the internet" — and Nintendo doesn't even have to pay for it!

Is River City Randsom really as good as everyone says? (I expect to be yelled at for this one)

It depends on what kind of games you like. If you like games to be fun, then yes.

For 500 it's a steal. It's better than many SNES/Genesis games. It's a bit short, but it has a lot of replay value.
