News grabbed from the Professor over at Madman's Cafe, he had this much to say about it:

Unlike most doujin fighters, the game is completely original and not based on any bishoujo titles. NRF's got Senkou no Rondo's Shouji Sogabe to do the character designs, and although they kind of lack in variety, they still look pretty good.

A whopping 80 MB trailer (DivX format) is downloadable from the game's official site. Athough only one character is apparently playable at the current stage, the game looks to be in GGX-like resolution, which hasn't been done yet with a doujin fighter as far as I know.

If that music is representative of what we'll get in the game, it's pretty rockin'. And the designs are rather generic but I don't find them nearly as offensive as Blazblue's for some reason. Obviously very early if that's all the gameplay they can show us, but this is potentially pretty damn impressive. I liked Big Bang Beat from the little time I actually gave the final version, so I look forward to hearing more about this. Thoughts?

For a second there, I read that as "Millions Knives" and thought "oh cool."

I remember reading about this a couple months back on SRK. Didn't know it was using the same character designer as SnR. I'll end up downloading it, trying it out for 10 minutes and never touch it again.

Yeah, that's how it usually goes... I mean, that's what happened with me and BBB, anyway. And Akatsuki Blitzkampf... And it goes on. But I'd like to hope that eventually one of them will really click with me.

Folo should be a verb. *-neo

NRF knows how to make combo videos, not actual fighting games worth playing.

By far the most frustrating thing about Big Bang Beat was that they kept updating the game and it kept getting worse. Nonsensical nerfs and unnecessary changes everywhere, ugh.

Weird. I'd be curious to hear more about the fan response during all this. I can't say I know anybody who really stuck with it for a while.
