Pocky & Rocky Reshrined Launches This June, New Gameplay Trailer

I don't usually go for shmuppy games, but this one, from the first showing, has looked pretty amazeballs, and this latest trailer has quadrupled-down on that, so rich in stimulating imagery and sound.

My one reservation is how cheap the physical version is going for Day 1. Has me worried there's only about 2 hours content...

Still, I'll get a pre-order in and wait and see.

Omg, right in my choldhood! Totally forgot about this series, but looks good, will keep an eye on it.

one of my most wanted games atm (directly after xenoblade 3)

I preordered the minute it was reported available for preorder.

Shame I have to wait until this summer, but it's going to be a super fun time playing this again co-op with my cousin.

"amazeballs"?

Tengo Project killing it! Wild Guns, then Ninja Warriors, now this. Looks Grat

You know I love blasting my way through mythological Japan

Yeah Pocky & Rocky was one of my childhood games, maybe not one of my favorites of them but still nostalgia is a powerful drug and just looking at the gameplay and those beautiful sprite graphics it is quite evident that the people rensponsible aren't just doing it for the sake of quick cash grab, as these retro revivals sometimes are, real effort and love seems to be put into this one as far as I can tell.

Have had this pre-ordered for quite some time now.

Probably my most anticipated game of the year… closely followed by Klonoa. 😛

@gcunit Don’t worry about a short play through. (Actually 2 hours would be incredible for a game of this s style.) After you finish, play on a harder difficulty, maybe with a different character if that’s an option.

@gcunit Well, if it is a SNES remake, it will be one of those game that is short but difficult.
Even on easy it was kicking my butt, left me feeling it'd be a better experience if I had friends who wanted to play such games with me.

Another page using the western name for a Japanese trailer. Kiki Kaikai Kuro Mantle no Nazo doesn't translate to "Pocky and Rocky Reshrined". I expected to see a US trailer because of the headline. Trailer does look incredible, though.

We don't need to see anymore. I'm just ready to play it. Definitely one of my most anticipated games of the year. Really, its been one of my most anticipated games since its been announced.

@FishyS Yet, so brutal.

@gcunit You'll enjoy it but its rough. Don't let the 'cutesy' art fool you.

Already preordered it from Strictly Limited. It just looks so amazing.
Also loved the first SNES one... and this pretty much looks like that but with even more stuff and more visual flair.
I've also downloaded the GBA title Pocky & Rocky with Becky for the Wii U VC, because it's absurdly expensive in physical form... And if you're at least somewhat interested in that one, you'd better download it as well, because it's definitely not worth anything close to the physical price... The download price is pretty steep for what it is as well. It's a pretty lifeless, lazily thrown together game.

@gcunit If it's a remake of the SNES original then it's only a couple hours of content... but with multiple characters, difficulties and a game this good it's worth every penny. I've played and beat the original and this is still a day 1 game for me.

I'm so excited

@Qphlat27 same here

I picked this up yesterday from a shop here in Japan! Was 3,380円 (JPY)
To my surprise, it already has English!
