River City Ransom EX
The classic NES game returns with improved graphics and even more role-playing action. As in the original game, River City Ransom for the Game Boy Advance blends action, fighting, and role-playing elements into one game. You'll play one of two young heroes who must battle their way past city gangs and then defeat the gang lord to free the students of River City High. More than just a side-scrolling fighting game, River City Ransom EX features a character-building system and customization options.
The Western version is a regional port of the Japanese version, since it uses the same storyline and identities of River City Ransom, instead of the stablished characters from Downtown Nekketsu Story and the Kunio-kun franchise.

About This Game
Several months after Kunio's defeat of Sabu, twin brothers Ryuuichi and Ryuuji Hattori transfer to Reihou Academy and rapidly seize control of the surrounding schools through sheer fighting ability, earning the name Double Dragon Brothers. When Riki's girlfriend Mami disappears and a challenge arrives from the academy, Riki moves to settle it alone — but finds Kunio waiting at the school gates, unwilling to let him go in without backup. River City Ransom EX is their joint operation to take back what was stolen.
