BARF!
They're no River City Ransom, but we'll take them. Aksys Games recently announced two DS games in the River City series: River City Soccer Hooligans and River City Super Sports Challenge. The announcement kind of slipped through the cracks at Dtoid HQ, but we still wanted to point them out.
River City Soccer Hooligans is, as you'd guess, a soccer game. The Hooligans go for the World Soccer Championship against 12 teams. You can unlock 50 teammates and play up to four players via DS link-up.
The other, Super Sports Challenge, combines athletics (track and field) with fighting, with you taking out rival schools with moves like the Human Bomb and the Pizza Shot. There's a Edit Character mode where you can change your team's looks and stats. Like Soccer Hooligans, this title also supports 4 players through Download Battle.
This is not what most of you are hoping for, I know. You just want to beat in heads and pick up the bounciest coin ever made. I'm with you. But I'm still looking forward to checking both of these out.
[Good lookin' out, seifd]

It could happen.
And now if they could just make a decent Super Dodge Ball remake...
Oh well, a man can dream.
DO WANTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!
Godammit.
better than the japanes SNES version.
could be 3d world and 2d remade/updated sprites.
keep the side scrolling game play.
multiple floors and levels as well as going into buildings.
i want it to be rated M. i want blood from swords and serious beatdowns.
make it so you upgrade skills with exp, but you can buy clothes to enhance them. and of course foods for whatever. and items for moves etc.
Also, barf.
