Plague tells me Realize Games of Boston has acquired the rights to River City Ransom, the classic NES game, to make a sequel for the Game Boy Advance. (He also pointed out that the screen from RCR without the black bars on the top and bottom is the same size as the GBA screen.)
Supposedly they have rivercityransom.com, which is currently parked somewhere or other; whois says it is in fact owned by Realize Games of Arlington, MA. Neither Google nor Nintendorks have heard of Realize Games, though. Google is nice enough to inform me the whois address for rivercityransom.com is owned by an Arlington, MA Town Meeting Member, whatever that means. Landlord, maybe? The actual registrant contact is a contributor to Whazzat?!, a collection of strange game quotes, and commented on Crane's video game remixes, downloadable from IUMA.
This doesn't really mean much of anything other than it seems to be a hopeful fan project trying at pro--but professionals have to come from somewhere, right?
