Yea. That just happened.

 :uhrr:

What the hell?

The screenshots creep me out.

Holy shit!  What does that website say?  Is this out?  Can I play it?  I MUST PLAY THIS!

Looks like you can play it. I couldn't decipher it enough to even make a proper news post.

When I get some time, maybe this weekend, I'm just going to randomly click Japanese words until I can figure out how to register.

Randomly clicking Japanese words on a web site is a sure bet to bring out some  :uhrr:  :ye_gods:  :pedobear: material.

You should write an article about it.

I believe it says "WHAT YOU TALKIN BOUT WILLIS KAWAIIII!!"

BIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Seeing this just makes me wonder why the hell someone didnt think of this earlier.  :oh_i_see:

btw:  looks like you have to register to get the download.  I cant decipher the reg. page though.  There's NO Japanese speakers on f13?

Only Hyu.  But he went into the cornfield. 

Will there be swimming competition matches between rival street gangs which involve punching and kicking the other player in an attempt to drown them?

More importantly, do we get to punch a girl in the stomach and carry her over our shoulder? (panties exposed)  errrr, was that a different game...   :headscratch:

Brawlers mesh together in the brain, but yea, that was Double Dragon, not RCR.

I've figured out how to register and log into the site without pwning myself in the face with tentacle porn or anything.  I took screenshots so that I can point out where to put your email and password and stuff if I manage to get anywhere with this.  Now I just gotta figure out how I find the game...

EDIT:  So I log in, click the download link, go to a page of bullshit, there are two options and a big button.  Clicking the button with the first option selected kicks me back to the front page.  Okay, it must mean I don't accept the EULA or some shit.  But clicking the button with the second option selected does nothing at all.  I get a little Windows popup full of more bullshit and an OK button, but clicking OK does nothing.

I spent a year in Japan studying the language, but now I've forgotten it all.  :awesome_for_real:

Stupid fucking Kanji!

Oddly enough, I was there at the same time Hyu went (different areas though).

I'll see if I can possibly dig through any of it, but frankly, my Kanji always sucked at the best of times, and has only gotten worst since I came back.

RCR was the brawler where you had a stupid amount of choices of things to buy at all the various vendors right?  To go along with a million different funky buyable feat choices like "Javelin Man" (my personal favorite).  It's all coming back to me now...  Ahhh yes, Javelin Man... you pick up your unsuspecting thug and basically turn him into a human spear.  Good times!

I also distincly remember something on the order of a Flying Pamchenko move, only you dont catch the guy when he lands  :drill:

Indeed, that game was more RPG than brawler IMO... and again; it took this long for someone to MMO-it?  You know we're all sitting here wondering "why the hell we didnt think of this before."

FYI:  I've checked a few other forums that mention this game and people seem to be generally flipping out over this thing.  Many mentions of giving left nuts, auctioning off firstborn n' such to play it (obviously not in that order).

p.s.
looks like they just added RCR to the Wii virtual console a few months ago. 

OK.  I spent a good amount of time registering and getting to the appropriate menu to download the damn game.  However, I received a final error after all of that, which I didn't quite understand.  I ran it through the google translator, and basically, the jist of it was that only Platinum Members get to test the game right now.  So, um, yeah.  I don't know how you become a platinum member, I just did the free registration.  Seems a no go, but people who are much better at Japanese than I am, or less drunk/lazy than I am, might have more luck.  I was even writing out instructions on what to do and everything as I went, but now this seems to block it all.  All well, maybe I'll fuck around with it later.  But I'm quite drunk, have to work tommorrow, and have a ton of shit I need to do tomorrow, so it'll be awhile before I fuck around with it again.

Yeah, I had screenshots and shit and was going to do a step-by-step set of instructions on how to play, but then I ran into the same error.  I wonder how one becomes a platinum member...

Well, in parenthesis, it did say it was basically in a closed test right now.  So I imagine, like most retarded closed beta tests here, it's only if you apply and get accepted.  *shrug*  That's my take on it at least.

So many shitty Asian games that nobody wants to play end up playable over here.  It'll be a god damn travesty if this one doesn't get an English localization.

Other games that didn't get localized that I said that about include, but are not limited to:
Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine
Phantom Brave Online
Front Mission Online

Nevermind. This is just going to depress me.

KOTORO what?

payback's a bytch.  Too many US titles barely make it across the ponds if at all, so I dont blame em.
This one is kind of a slap in the face though.

When this is available to the public, I will play it, dammit.  I don't care if I'm the only English-speaker there.
