More specifically, City Connection and Clear River Games have brought back Jaleco’s old-school beat em’ up series, Rushing Beat, with a new release called Rushing Beat X: Return of Brawl Brothers. Due to an insufficient number of reviews from critics, there is no Metacritic score for this new release, but there are some user reviews, which are positive so far. The Nintendo eShop doesn’t allow for user reviews, and the Xbox Store won’t populate them and a score until the release is less new, but we have the PlayStation Store and Steam to provide insight. On the former, the nostalgic new release has a 4.54 out of 5-star rating after 24 reviews. Meanwhile, on Steam, it has an 87% approval rating after 33 reviews.
An SNES Series We Never Thought We Would See Again
The Rushing Beat series debuted in 1992 as Rushing Beat in Japan, but in the West it was called Rival Turf. Despite releasing to an awful 48% on GameRankings, it was fairly popular, and got a sequel the same year called Brawl Brothers, which got more positive scores and its own follow-up in 1993 called The Peace Keepers, which split the first two games in terms of reception. All three games were SNES exclusives, and they are the only games in the series, which went from getting three games in two years to getting none over three decades. Meanwhile, its developer, Jaleco, is still around to this day, but quit the video game industry in 2009.
