Im not sure everyone knows about this, but there is a actual sequel to river city ransom that's on kickstarter. The thing ive noticed is that its not getting as much exposure for some reason, because if it was then it would have already have reached it's goal by now. Another game that's being re imagined in a way is mighty no.9 which is basically mega man made over, and that game has been out a week or so and has already reached all it's goals. Anyway im putting this out there for people to know about it, because things like this on kickstarter is defently worth it.
