Play River City Ransom EX Online
Punch your way through gangs, level up your stats, and buy weird power-ups like whole turkeys—it’s the same chaotic brawler you remember, just way smoother and with actual readable text now.

River City Ransom EX is basically what happens when you take that old NES brawler you loved, pump it full of espresso, and give it a shiny GBA makeover. The first time I booted it up, I immediately recognized the same ridiculous street fights—baseball bats, flying kicks, dudes in leather jackets—but everything just moves better now. And you can actually read the text this time, which helps when you're trying to figure out whether buying a whole turkey (yes, really) will boost your strength or just waste your hard-stolen cash.
What surprised me was how much RPG stuff they crammed in. You’re not just mashing buttons—you’re leveling up stats, learning new suplexes, and occasionally convincing some punk you just beat unconscious to join your side. The new survival mode’s a nice touch too, especially when you realize how badly you still suck at dodging after all these years. If you’ve got a GBA and even a vague memory of elbow-dropping randos in an arcade, this is the version to grab.
