Im soooooo looking forward to it!
Ippo can finally take revenge on takamura. (not that it’d work ;p)
Man, I’m feeling a bit jealous for not having a PSP now…
If Agito/Akito (Air Gear) is in the game, that would be fantastic.
Not to go off topic, but wouldn’t it be awesome if they made an Air Gear game that played like a mix between JSR and a kind of third person fighter?
i lol’d. looks to be an interesting fighter…on the PSP no-less.
first the announcement of good games from sony, and now this quirky fighter from konami. chances are this game will be japanese-heavy though…unless someone manages to get an “unofficial” translation team going like what was done for the Jump games on DS.
Honestly? I don’t see it the same way.
Most signs point to that this game was made by 8ing (who Konami holds a few shares in, thanks to buying-up Hudson).
If this is true, well then, 8ing, to date, has never made it such that their fighters are THAT Japanese heavy; the “worst” of the lot appearing in their various “mission modes” in their Naruto games on GC/Wii, and maybe even navigating mode menus.
If that’s about as much in the way of a “language barrier” that we could stand to face, non-JP speakers/readers should be fine. I’ll be VERY surprised if it requires anything close to what the Jump DS games or Dissidia demanded.
What signs are there that point to 8ing? If it does turn out to be by them I will fucking laff if it turns out to be some absurdly combo heavy game like fate UC.
Like I said, Konami has a relationship with 8ing, thanks to the “Hudson connection” I listed above. Since they technically own a few stakes in 8ing, that means they can call upon 'em to do things like this.
After all, Konami was able to get some of those guys at 8ing to bang out Castlevania: Judgment for them (they have a section devoted to their involvement in the production credits of that game). So I can’t imagine them NOT doing likewise for a game like this.
Besides…honestly, Konami doesn’t have the staff to make such a game like this (a decent fighter), themselves. Any body who may have been a part of things like TMNT: Tournament Fighters (SNES) is likely either a) long gone or b) some where else in the company.
Hopefully this game turns out well. Im looking forward to playing this for a while. It looks like it plays like Big Bang Beat without being combo havok
Ringo in Croissant mode is also available.
So if 8ing are that close to Konami then yeah I can see them doing this. I mean they’re not doing anything else now except maybe the Fate UC PSP port.
Fate UC has a PSP port?! O.o
Fate UC portable is coming out in june i believe. I saw it on IGN
My thoughts exactly. Now we just need Gorilla and banana sushi.
Oshit, Sendo’s in it too. ROCKY OF NANIWA, FUCK YEAH
Interesting.
Anyway, I’m surprised they haven’t put Ranma and Conan in.
No Aoki, Kimura, or Mashiba?
:sad:
