60 of 82 · most liked firstMy gf and I played "River City Girls 2" game and I liked it so much that I decided to draw Kyoko and Misako from the game's cover, but in a style closer to the anime of the late 80s-early 90s, inspired by the designs of one of my favorite artists, David Liu @dsloogs.com #RiverCityGirls2 #art

unlabelledView post →Oh, oh, I finally get to do this! [Disclosure: game provided by publisher] I just added River City Girls 2 to my curator page. This sequel to the shoujo bubble-gum punk reimagining of River City Ransom delivers more of everything that made the first one fun. store.steampowered.com/app/1920480/...
unlabelledView post →I think River City Girls 2 manages to check every box for 'shit I don't think you should do in a beatemup'. Absolutely unbelievable game (negative).
unlabelledView post →Finished Scott Pilgrim EX. Yeah, this wipes the floor with the previous game. It's funny too, the original was definitely riffing on River City Ransom, but this one just straight up feels like a real RCR game, even moreso than the (also awesome) River City Girls games. Can't wait to play again!
unlabelledView post →It's 'post a random game of your collection' Saturday! This week, i'm going with River City Girls! 💕 I adore this game so much, it's pixel art is amazing, it's comic book like cutscenes are so cool, it's really fun and charming, AND IT'S SOUNDTRACK IS SO GOOD!!! Love it 🥰
unlabelledView post →So last night we tried out Kunio no Nekketsu School Fighters, and I'm super wowed by this game!! Made by a single dev over the course of like 3 years, featuring the cast of River City Girls -- it's bonkers how good this game feels! usagiru-orochi.itch.io/kunio-no-nek...

unlabelledView post →Mini Fredo's Game-Os: A bit late to the party here but I've been checking out River City Girls 2, and much like the first game, it's a lot of fun! The first one came out in 2019 and this one came out in 2022, and for whatever reason I feel like it got way less attention
unlabelledView post →Redraw of official art from River City Girls (love that game) Arguably one of my biggest pieces yet, I'm hype to finally share it, it was rlly fun ✨️
unlabelledView post →I will always treasure this original piece of River City Girls art that WayForward gifted me. This is one of the hand drawn manga pages from the first game

unlabelledView post →This guy on the local news does on location stories at businesses and events and he's completely out of his element at this video game store. He picked up a copy of River City Girls 2 and said "looks like this has Addams Family" characters in it" and then talked about how he used to play "Wii cards"

unlabelledView post →New year, new thread… ✌🏾 1. River City Girls 2 I did not love this game as much as I did the first, which is sad because it does A LOT of things right. Plays well, funny, graphics, music, lots of “member berries.” But shit, there’s a TON of backtracking. And the load times on Switch were a bear.

unlabelledView post →@Zotmeister, as a kid I had very limited exp with brawlers (or arcades for that matter), but even to me it's apparent that Fight'n'Rage is clearly a masterpiece of its genre. Extremely technical and flexible. River City Girls is fun and stylish, but Fight'n'Rage is just on a different level than anything I've seen. #FightNRage #RiverCityGirls
unlabelledView post →Upload from ages ago. Specifically made for me and the fighting game homies. In the style of River City Girls 2.
unlabelledView post →Tbf, this is why I always choose a different genre. Mainly because a full disconnect from it is super important. I play my lil baseball game or Captain Tsubasa, or I load up River City Girls to beat shit up.
unlabelledView post →They're the still casting shots from the briefly run Solid-Star River City Girls Stage Play 👍 the game itself uses sprite work from the games themselves, with original backgrounds which don't show any sign of AI use from what I can tell web.archive.org/web/20230208...
unlabelledView post →I’ve gotten a few things from them - none in a long while - but I just chalked whatever claim I had onto me buying River City Girls Zero. That game was hot ass. I hate it so much.
unlabelledView post →River City Girls. Again, agonized a bit over whether this counts as an indie game, but fuck it, it's the best beat em up since the Scott Pilgrim game and is a spinoff of the Nekketsu Kunio-Kun game with ladies in the lead (and is very lesbian gazey) How can you not like that?
unlabelledView post →Firstly, absolute props to the first Scott Pilgrim game for being influential in so many ways, one of which surely is River City Girls. I'll prop RCG2 as the present pinnacle of brawler-RPGs, but it's mostly made from more of the same ideas as 1. While SP EX seems like it has more new ideas.
unlabelledView post →Off the top of my head... I think it's: • Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game • Streets of Rage 2 • Streets of Rage 4 • The Punisher • River City Girls
unlabelledView post →The game "Harlan Ellison's - I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" is free this week on Epic Games (as is the "River City Girls 2" brawler game if that's your jam). Just fyi. #games
unlabelledView post →WayForward's River City Girls 2 is free on the Epic Game Store this week.
unlabelledView post →It was developed by WayFoward (Shantae & River City Girls) & similar in style to another game they developed a few years prior: Aliens Infestation for the Nintendo DS.
unlabelledView post →It really kills me to see that Double Dragon and River City Girls are so much more popular than Kunio-kun. #gaming #videogames #Kuniokun #DoubleDragon #RiverCityGirls #RiverCity
unlabelledView post →My playAsia order arrived and I also got Octopath Traveler 2 for PS5. I did get it for Switch but if a game is cross platform I will get a copy for my husband so we can play together. I love River City Girls and I can’t wait to play the second one 🥰 #rivercitygirls #OctopathTraveler2 #videogames #gamecollecting #switch #ps5
