Nice. Cant wait to get my hands on this one. Nostalgia 100%.

Yesterday a 2nd source confirmed Fall 2021:
https://www.thegamer.com/pocky-rocky-reshrined-release-window/
It was mentioned during a panel at the New Game Plus expo.
A new trailer was also shown, but that's not online yet.

Since it's a Taito property I wouldn't be surprised if ININ / Strictly Limited published this game physically.

Awesome. Will be a Nice game to enjoy when the leafs start to fall 😊 @basswitch

@DennisNOR Definitely!
Here's the first proper trailer:

@basswitch Get goosebumps right away when the music starts. Nostalgia trip at its finest.

Tengo Project just put a new trailer up. It's basically the same as the one from march, but with less cuts in the gameplay.

@Slowdive Yes there is I got the feeling that NL is not on top of the Pocky & Rocky news, so I thought I'd put every new thing I found here. And a physical release would indeed be cool!

Can't wait for this. Wild Guns Reloaded and Ninja Warriors Again were brilliant, can't see how this won't also be.

I have made a comparison video between the original Pocky & Rocky, level 1: The Haunted Shrine (using 4K RetroPlay's video: https://youtu.be/M5wk1ipRPZo ) and the first level of the upcoming Pocky & Rocky: Reshrined (Tengo Project's video: https://youtu.be/aep2yoBT8rs ). The audio is from the new game.

Here it is:

Cool comparison! This game looks super duper.

@Slowdive Yes, definitely! It looks exactly like I remembered it, but actually it's a big improvement in detail of the environment. And I love that it's still pixel-based, unlike most of these types of remakes & reimaginings.

Yay! ! ! !

Looks great. Instant buy. 😊

Any new news about this game lately ? 😊

@DennisNOR Can't find anything. Just this famitsu-article from a month ago with some screenshots I haven't seen before:

Sadly, the game has been delayed until spring 2022. I was wondering why we didn't get any updates.

@NeonPizza I'm not a Dragon Quest III guy, just obsessively following Pocky & Rocky
But I don't see news about a delay for that one. And it's Square-Enix instead of Natsume, right?

Can't wait to pick this one up when it comes out. I wonder if they'll also remake the sequel as well. It would be nice if there's remakes of Power Rangers Fighting Edition and Gundam Wing: Endless Duel sometime in the future, although the chances are slim due to licensing issues.
