Can someone help me identify an old game from my childhood? It looked like River City Ransom and had two final bosses

[unnamable]

I’m trying to remember the name of a game I played as a kid. It had a similar style to River City Ransom — side-scrolling beat ‘em up with simple graphics and fun combat. What I remember most is that the final battle was against two opponents, and the game could be played in 2-player co-op.

I’ve been trying to find it for years but can’t recall the title. Does anyone know which game this might be? Any clue or suggestion would be super helpful!

Dunno, Double Dragon

No, and I also remember that there were stores to buy things.

Maybe one of the other Kunio Kun games like:
Downtown special Kunio kun( Edo period oriented )
Or the later snes: Shodai Nekketsu Kouha Kunio kun

Not enough information. You might want to look into Technos in general, they made River City and many other beat-'em-ups (they invented the genre). The Combatribes, the Kunio series, Double Dragon series, etc.
Most games like these don't have shops. But your memories are so vague that maybe you're mixing different games together.

Maybe I'm being silly but do you remember what console you played it on? I know the OP kinda suggests NES, I just want to make sure.

Wouldn't it be funny if we all had an egg on our faces because we all homed in on NES because of the River City Ransom comparison only for it to turn out that we should've been looking elsewhere.

Also, could you tell us what region of the world you lived in at the time? Maybe your game was Japan- or PAL-exclusive for example.

That's it, the last bosses where these Tiger Brothers dudes.

You could play co-op with a friend or with a CPU buddy. Also enviromental hazards. And general awesomeness.

There's a couple of english patches for it around.

This is it. I forgot to mention there was no roof, it was like fighting in a backyard. Thanks a lot, Buddy.
