Can someone explain to me what’s so awesome about River City Ransom? I watched a little clip on youtube and it looks like a primitive Final Fight - just moving forward and punching throughout the entire game.
How does Kid Icarus hold up these days? It was one of my favorites as a kid but I never beat it.

Yes, there is a lot of moving around and punching and what not, but there are definite RPG elements to it. You get life back by eating or getting medicines and such and you get special feats to help you whoop ass harder.
