Kenka Banchou? Really Atlus?

[System_Error]

JPN Trailer for you guys that dunno what this is: http://playstation.joystiq.com/2008/09/16/kenka-banchou-3-zenkoku-seiha-landing-in-japan-november-27th/

You better not be joking hombres, or else.

[Decept]

Isn't this the game that someone said it would never come here? Someone please explain.

[System_Error]

Atlus works in mysterious ways. Sometimes you hate em, sometimes you love em. This + Demon Souls + Shiren = love. NOW GET TA RELEASIN SOME STUFF BEFORE SEPT 23.

[Rednusander]

Isn't this the game that someone said it would never come here? Someone please explain.

You mean this guy?

A bunch of us suggested these titles back on the old Atlus EZboard years ago. I would support it, but unfortunately, I can definitely tell you with 100% certainty that it isn't going to happen.

Nahhhhhhhhhhhh.

[System_Error]

You guys just owned Kaki,but in a great way.

[Manly Biceps]

You better not be joking hombres, or else.

We don't joke about game releases.

BANCHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Onion of Mystery]

We can still joke about games not being released, right?

[Manly Biceps]

Yeah, but it makes it pretty obvious that it's a joke.

[Olethros]

You'd think so, but there is precedent set to show it's not so obvious for some.

Also, lay off the Kaki bashin'! :mad:

[Decept]

Also, lay off the Kaki bashin'! :mad:

Oh we are just jokin. I like the guy. He usually brings the "reason" to the discussion.

(Still funny with 100% certainty tho.)

[Bolinoak]

I did the little survey for your name contest... I'm not fond of many of them. I just ended up voting for plan old Badass. Really I think a game like that should be called something like Delinquent's Rumble. It sounds so cheesy but so appropriate. It's also a bit of an otaku joke I guess. Well maybe not, maybe I've just been watching too much Cromatie High School.

Ya, I know. I wasn't really being serious. Just wouldn't have felt right if I let it go without saying something , though. ;)

Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble
OR
Kenka Bancho: Turf War

I like the second one just a bit more, because it reminds me of RIVAL TURF. But the first one has BADASS, clearly one of the best words in the English vocabulary. It's a tough choice, but as long as one of these two is picked, I'm fine.

[Manly Biceps]

I suggested "Shall We Rumble?" but nobody liked my idea. :(

[Kakizaki]

I realize we are joking here, but for the record I was referring to the PS2 titles, this one happens to be for the PSP, and I was trying to be a good guy and not reveal how I came to my conclusion.

I would think some of the Admins would know better than to pick on me regarding the old PS2 KB titles based off of what they know about them, the U.S., and Sony.....

I will take the higher road and keep my mouth shut this time. ;)

All in good fun, Kaki, I know your comment was out of context. It was just too good to pass up. =)

[Decept]

See, even the response made me chuckle.

Anyways, it would be badass if badass was somewhere in the title, but I just can't see that being possible.

[Macstorm]

It should clearly be Laser-Eye Gangsters.

[Enzeru]

It should clearly be Laser-Eye Gangstas.
Fix'd. No gangsta would use correct grammar!

[Onion of Mystery]

It should clearly be Laser-Eye Gangsters.

Problem: No one could possibly say that title without doing it in that stupid sing-song tune used by the eye surgery chain.

[jeffx]

I suggested "Shall We Rumble?" but nobody liked my idea. :(

How about Let's Rumble GET! while we're at it! ;)

Nah, I was being a brat. I was wrong but I was basing it off something concrete.

Anyway, I'm totally glad to be wrong about this. I've always wanted to play these. Brawlers really are my favorite genre.

[Inzaghi]

My favorite title no one liked was Dueling Banchos.

[Manly Biceps]

"Reading, Fighting, and Arithmetic" was good, too.

[jeffx]

My favorite title no one liked was Dueling Banchos.

Are you f-ing kidding me? That's brilliant.

[Ricketts]

My favorite title no one liked was Dueling Banchos.

That's exactly the same title that popped into my mind when I read the 'help us name this game' email. This one would have likely won by a landslide.

[Sanctine]

HELL YES! Wow, never thought you'd do it, Atlus.

Day one, Atlus. I've been waiting forever for this announcement.

[Manly Biceps]

^More like this guy, please! :)

[System_Error]

How bout no Manly, how bout you get to localizing REAL games and not garbage like this. We need REAL MAN games like Doki Doki Majo Shinpan and Project Diva!


SO GET TO IT OR ELSE I'LL SUBJECT YOU TO HOURS OF PLAYING NOCTURNE. And God knows no one wants that.

[Manly Biceps]

How bout no Manly, how bout you get to localizing REAL games and not garbage like this. We need REAL MAN games like Doki Doki Majo Shinpan and Project Diva!

Honestly, do you really need someone to localize Doki Doki Majo Shinpan? When you're in doubt, the underage girl's probably saying "Don't touch me there!"

Tada. It's localized. Enjoy.

[System_Error]

This is why I love Atlus, they aren't a dull faceless company and they enjoy goofing off with their user base.

[Foryth]

I like the juvenile delinquents aspect, a-la Kunio-kun or Cromartie High School. I also happen to like brawlers. So I guess you can consider me interested. :D

[Gen Eric Gui]

My favorite title no one liked was Dueling Banchos.

I would have voted for this.

[Deiser]

How about "King of the Banchous: Banchou Kuzunoha versus the Soulless Banchous"?

[sarshelyam]

I cried here about as much when I was watching MJ's Memorial...

...this is why I love you guys...bringing over some of my favorites. While I have to say I'm happy with this, why not pick up the rest of the series to send off the PS2 in style...please?

Anyhow, DAY ONE for me!

[shimo]

:lol:
Sold.

[Gear Master Blitz]

This game looks pretty cool. Honestly, I'm not familiar with it, but any game with a guy who's only goal is to kick ass and can shoot laser beams from his eyes has gotta be a winner. I may have to check this out. ....still hoping for a Growlanser announce tho.....

[Neveryll]

I kept adding a My in the middle even though its not there as in Kenka My Bancho even though I know that makes no sense. :p I thought there should have been a suggestion box at the end of the naming poll and then they should have posted the top 10 funniest and 10 best they got. :D I was kinda leaning towards Ruffian Rumble.

Awesome! So when can we expect the official announcement?

(For the record, I actually do like this style of visual novel gameplay, and the question is authentic.)

[cj iwakura]

We can still joke about games not being released, right?

If you have to rename Growlanser to get it better sales, I'm okay with that.


Sword Tactics: The Stabbening?

[etrianfan]

Kenka Bancho 3, didn't see that coming. Nice.

Isn't this the game that someone said it would never come here? Someone please explain.

BANCHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Nahhhhhhhhhhhh.

This gives me hope for announcements of more games that would supposely "never come here".

See atlus.
We know you have more things to hide.

Like that brawler you just announced.

I hope those "things' are games i'm dying for.

[>:-(]

Day one.

[syl]

Gotta get a psp!

[HotLimit]

I just got a PSP and I'm going to preorder whenever possible. Very good move!

[Leingod]

Now, what I wanna know is: The game's gonna be dubbed or just subbed? :)

IMO, just subbed would do the trick. Besides, it would lower the localization costs for Atlus.

But now that I think of it... maybe the game doesn't include voice acting at all, and I'm just wasting my time thinking about it :confused:

No voice acting (as in acted scenes), but lots of vocals when beating people down. I think they'll leave all those Japanese hoodlum noises as is.

[jeffx]

I would hope so too. They wisely didn't alter the OP theme for Devil Survivor, good move.

[Constraint]

This is why I love Atlus, they aren't a dull faceless company and they enjoy goofing off with their user base.

No kidding. NISAmerica, not so much.

Surprisingly, goofing around with you guys is part of my job description.

[Enzeru]

No kidding. NISAmerica, not so much.
There's a NISA guy on GameFAQs, and he can be plenty of fun. Besides, NISA is awesome in other ways, anyway.

[DestronPrime]

This'll be perfect for my new PSP I'm getting. Totally perfect! :D

Thanks Atlus O:

[ShadyNook]

"Beat Up Us?: Onegai!"

that should have been the title.

[Raksha]

Nothing like a game with 'Badass' on its title.

I have PSP, maybe I'll get this.

[Blackwing Dragon]

With all due respect, anonimity makes idiots out of people. But this is the internet, it's worse.
listening to fans is nice, but most of them are kinda not , you know, competent enough to choose "FOR MOAR THAN THE LULZ".
I'm not saying westernizing games should rip out the japanese name, soul, etc. I hate that.
But an outright japanese pre-title is kinda ..you know. People will go wtf when they don't know what you are talking about.
Really, something like "Valient Boss! Badass Rumble" would sound corny. "Badass Rumble" would be too short. i think something like "Mean Streets : Badass Rumble!" is kinda...better?

Honestly I wouldn't worry about Atlus's methods. If they can fool a ton of people into thinking Tokyo Beatdown is a good game (and believe me, if I hadn't played the Japanese version before, I'd have been fooled too), then they should have no trouble presenting an awesome game for what it is.

[Camanche]

I feel Atlus is trying to convince me to buy a PSP...

[Manly Biceps]

Hey Camanche,

Buy a PSP.

[mumu]

Hey Camanche,

Buy a PSP.

[SickleCellAnemia]

Hey Cammy,

Make me a sandwich, with Canadian Bacon!









<3 ya Cambot

[Camanche]

Peameal bacon is the best kind of bacon.

[SickleCellAnemia]

^Well, make me one with that! :D

[Camanche]

With tomato slices and mustard.

[Dragon God]

The trailer honestly makes me think RCR.... which is awesome.

[Seph_luis_br]

Now I'm really considering to buy this game.
Any chances we see this in the PSN ? (Live outside US, so PSN is a lot easier)

[Fuyukaze]

I fully suport this title and also suport the further bashing of Kaki. If bashing him means using quotes out of context to localize games he says we will never get to see a domestic release, then I believe Kaki can agree it's a sacrifice well worth it.

Sure wish Atlus would release stuff that makes me taste crow as often.

.....Actualy I dont feel any ill will twords him. I just want more games we share a common interest to be released.

I like to think it's less his typical arrogance and more my amazing triumph for having posted the suggestion in the game suggestions board. I'm joking of course :p

[cityblues]

Is TRAIN TRAIN still going to be the OP? The song was awesome in Taiko no Tatsujin and listening to it every time I play Kenka Bancho would make me a happy man.


You guys should port Shinjuku Ookami to the PSP next, watching the trailer to this in japanese made me feel like playing it again XD

[Juanblue85]

I may get this since. by the way you guys should read Kongoh Bancho at onemanga it is awesome.

[Wildarms]

Honestly, do you really need someone to localize Doki Doki Majo Shinpan? When you're in doubt, the underage girl's probably saying "Don't touch me there!"

Tada. It's localized. Enjoy.

*blushes*

[Andy]

Can you seriously call someone a miserable pile of secrets in the game?

If so, I will buy 40 copies.

If not, just 20.

[Soloros]

This game is one of the few games that I enjoy and love so much just because of how ridiculous it is... And really, if it wasn't so ridiculous it would be great anyways, it's kinda like GTA meets River City Ransom, if both those games had siblings who were comedians, got together, and had a child.

And said child got obsessed with Japanese culture.

[Onibaku no Kurozu]

I REAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLYYYY wish that Atlus would consider this one after Badass Rumble...Please^^

[elf_boobs]

I may get this since. by the way you guys should read Kongoh Bancho at onemanga it is awesome.

thanks for the link, it's quite funny.
