River City Girls scored big points with me in its presentation. The sprite work was praiseworthy for sure, but you give me stylized manga panel cutscenes and I’m there. Thankfully Wayforward must feel the same, as those are returning for the aptly titled sequel River City Girls 2. …

While they’re pretty minor in the bigger picture, it’s fun when Sakurai and his team use them to throw in smaller references. That said, Sora’s costumes are anything but small references. In…
