May 2, 2011 marked another great day for the resurrection of the 8-bit beat ‘em up. For 800 points, the 1992 classic Rival Turf could be yours on the virtual console.

Originally released by Jaleco for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992, Rival Turf has already popped on the Japanese virtual console. Since it was originally the first installment in the Rushing Beat trilogy, gamers are speculated that the other two games in the series, Brawl Brothers (1992) and Peace Keepers (1993), could be on their way, as well. As luck would have it, Brawl Brothers is set for a May 10 release in Japan.

This classic side scrolling beat ‘em up trilogy looks to be making a comeback at almost 20 years old. Look for Peace Keepers to hit Japan and the PAL region shortly. Read more about it here.
