Love the series...will likely check out the film. It already looks fantastic based on the screenshot below:

Yanki movies were all the rage here last year, this is not surprising.

Is this movie out yet or what? I'd like to see it with English subs if I get the chance.

[BurnAluminum]

I don't think nationwide domination is out however Kenka Bancho 1 the movie and Kenka Bancho 2 the Movie are already released.

How have these movies not been mentioned yet?

I'll admit that every time I see a KB thread bumped, I get a little sad. I would have killed for one of the console versions to be localized.

If Badass Rumble did sell poorly, I don't know if it was entirely the fault of the title itself. That is what kind of irritates me. In my experience with Atlus USA titles, KB was one of the most difficult games to obtain in a store at launch (at least in my neck of the woods). I even went as far as filing a complaint with Gamestop customer service about their tiered / class system that prevents some games from being reserved. Yes, I do realize that is a little dorky.

@kakizaki:
I saw clips of the first KB movie on youtube the other day. They stick to the original game so closely that it's awkward. More like watching Mega 64 than a legit movie (which is not necessarily a bad, or unexpected thing).

I will say that KB2 was rather buggy, and I'm not so unhappy about missing out on it. KB1 was an awesome game, and all of my friends said they would have played it if it were in English (of course, come Badass Rumble, none of them owned a PSP, and none of them would buy one just for that game). They have KB1 for PSP now, of course, but KB4 is far superior.

As far as Badass Rumble being on shelves at Gamestop, I always see it. And no, I'm not buying more than one copy, hahaha!
