    I’d recommend starting with River City: Rival Showdown. It came out originally on 3DS and remastered for the Switch. I haven’t played it on the Switch, but it’s probably the closest to the original, but being new-ish. In case you want to try it out, the original River City Ransom is on Nintendo Online NES (and can also be bought on the eshop 🙈) and if I recall correctly it can be finished in a couple of hours.

    River City Girls is in the same universe and has some of the same RPG elements of the original, but is kind of its own thing. It’s definitely more modern, still fun. I still need to finish the second one, maybe this DLC motivates me to play it again next!

    Finally, there’s River City Saga: Three Kingdoms which is also in the style of the original, but made for modern consoles, in case you love Rival Showdown and want to check out more River City.

      Thanks for the recommendations!

      While I used to enjoy NES beat 'em ups when they were released (or I played the first), but not a big fan of them now. They feel too old. Will try River City: Rival Showdown and see how it goes.

        I know what you mean, I feel exactly the same with the NES Double Dragon games.

          Double Dragon games were exactly what I had in my mind. 😀
