What’s this? Two Kid Icarus reviews in one week? Yep. After reviewing the classic N.E.S. version I had to go check out it’s sequel on the Gameboy. I just can’t get enough of my favorite little cherub. Does Pit’s portable adventure stand up... 

The first time I ever read about River City Ransom was in an old issue of Nintendo Power. It looked terrific. It had great graphics, a neat story, and a fighting system that resembled a juiced-up Double Dragon. In fact, it was developed by Technos...
