The meta humor and RPG mechanics are so unusual for the era it's kind of startling

i agree, it felt ahead of its time, like it's somehow aware it was going to be an old cult classic game as soon as it released

It holds up astoundingly well. Even better than I remembered.

It's innovative AND easy to play and figure out for an NES game.

I agree with all the praise the game is getting in this topic.

It's actually my favorite NES game, which is saying something.

I also feel that River City is the best beat-em-up franchise ever to exist. The 3DS games are amazing.

It's great. It's ahead of the curve but not exactly unique, I'd say, it's similar to the ninja boy series

Yeah that's basically what I was trying to say. It's got this "kitchy retro" vibe to it which, devoid of context, would seem like it's a game made in the 2010s+

I had this all downloaded and ready to go with a friend but there was no online co-op. I can't understand a multiplayer beat em up having no online co-op.
