Streets of Rage



I'm trying to go play Streets of Rage and Streets of Rage 2 on my Wii. Both are awesome games, especially for fans of the re. I found this Streets of Rage Online fansite, and for the last hour I've just been looking through their info. They have all the info.
Also srching around I found some cool fanart. Tons of dedied Streets of Rage players, and with good rson. Streets of Rage is one of the best Bt 'Em ups of all time and it was relsed very, very rly in the esis's life, in 1991. It would bt out Final Fight to the arcade, although it seems likely that somehow one dev tm spied rly versions of the others's sprites. I don't know for sure who ripped off whom, but both games defined a re more than Double Dragon and River City Ransom ever did.
Not that the Technos games are bad, and both Final Fight and Streets of Rage rip plenty of things from both games, while introducing the id of multiple characters instd of RPG stats (later games like The Bouncer would hybridize the two formats, having multiple characters and allowing the player to level them all up).
The Bouncer also included the traditional 1v1 mode that some many games have. I picked up The Combatribes for a few bucks a month ago and it's versus mode is just awful. All the 1v1 modes were total shit.
Back on topic: Streets of Rage kicks ass and the music kicks ass.
