The Rumblefish: First screenshots.

[Recap]

Here (official site): http://www.sammy.co.jp/japanese/prod...ish/index.html

Facts:

- Development by Dimps. You know, that Bandai / Sammy company formed up by people which worked on SNK's Gekka no Kenshi (The Last Blade) and Garou. Their most recent games haven't been too noticeable, though: Inu-Yasha for PS or Atomiswave's Premier Eleven, for instance.

- It will be an arcade game for the Atomiswave cartridge system. On-Line features won't be added for now.

- Hi-res 2D sprites are confirmed. Backgrounds'll be polygonal, though.

- More details to be revealed in February AOU show.

"Enough?". (Internal joke).

Pimp, thanks.

Man those are some tiny screenshots. Almost RotD-ish in visual style, although for the screenshots it's probably just due to being unable to see any real detail in the shots. That character design would fit right in, though.

"Enough?". (Internal joke).

Quite. Thanks.

Hrm. Colorful screenshots. Small, though.

A "Fight Club" videogame, a "Rumble Fish" videogame...

What's next? An "American Psycho" FPS?

[Recap]

Indeed, I was thinking that Sammy is picking the names for their latest games to satisfy Western audiences more than anything else. Controversial, isn't it?

Postage stamp screenshots and the worst name ever.

Im excited.

Isn't Dimps doing that Seven Samurai 20XX Cyber Ninja game? If so, I am not looking forward to this.

Didn't Dimps do Sonic Pocket Adventures, and help on the Sonic Advance titles? Anyway, can barely see anything in those screens, but damn, it's probably just how tiny they are, but the characters almost look polygonal. Looks cool either way.

It looks very nice, but I have zero confidence in DIMPS.

[AstroBlue]

Indeed that is the worst name ever.

I was expecting a fish people 2d fighter in which you have to uppercut the opponent onto dry land to kill them.
