NeoGAF

From Gamespot. As one would expect, it looks pretty much the same as the cancelled PS2 game, albeit with altered sprites.

N64 resurrected?

lawl are those the WQii sceeenshotz!?

This should be on the ds.

Purple haired miko?


Eh..... it'll have to do.



Also, POCKY AND ROCKY FUCK YEAH

First with the Xbox, now the Wii. The PS2 makes a great partner.

Anyways, this game looks.........well it doesn't look interesting.....it looks like an acquired taste.

US version?

...uhm, this game needs quality screen shots. Badly. You know, like the ones from the canned version.

Oh god yes please give it to me in the ass.

high-res sprite based 2D shooter.

C'mon guys, how hard are you to please?

Forreal, as long as it doesn't have slowdown at a smooth 60fps, I couldn't give a flying fuck what it looked like, it's motherfucking Pocky and Rocky.

I'll be happy with more 2D on consoles as well.

This looks great, although I still don't understand why they changed the sprite (makes no difference in the end to me personally, just curious).

Day one for me.

DS doesn't do 480i/p. Try again.

Just leave, dude. The DS can't run this game.

some 2d lovin'

After how much of a disappointment Shin Chuka Taisen was, I'm not really looking forward to another Starfish "revisioning" of a classic series...

But I'll buy it anyway.

Get the fuck out.

Only a serial killer would shit on Pocky and Rocky.

I can't say I'm in love with the new purple haired girl, but it'll have to do. Come on Kiki Kai World, don't let me down!

WTF happened?

The old screens looked like a 2007 2d game. This looks like a 1995 2d game.

From Gamespot.

...oh.

Isn't Kiki Kai the place in Ernest Goes to Camp?

If it plays like Pocky & Rocky then I'm sooooo getting this. I would love online co-op but that'll never happen.

XBLA?

PS2 / Wii.

I know, I'm just saying XBLA would pretty much guarantee online co-op.

I hope they put Classic Controller support. It would seem obvious that they would, but you never know. (looks at Metal Slug Anthology)

Taito cancelled the game, so Starfish lost access to the Kiki KaiKai license and characters.

I didn't realize that the publisher was switched, thanks for the clarification. :)

More like 1989; some of those backgrounds look like they belong on the PC Engine.

...oh.

Gotta love shitty JPEG compression.


PS: <3 Pocky and Rocky

Wow. These screens look good to me. Reminds me of the old days of SNES.

It looks great... it is too bad that it isn't an official Pocky & Rocky game (the different-colored character just isn't right...), but the gameplay's obviously the same, and that's what matters. Awesome stuff. Major console 2d gaming lives... :)

All they did, though, as far as I know, was recolor the artwork.

Someone mangled the contrast setting for those screens. Otherwise, looks good to me.

The shrine maiden seems mostly new, and the fluffy pet is only a slight variation.

Resolution also. Game runs at 640x448 and those screengrabs are 592x448 = resized.

Looks like some Taiwan/China chinese PC games. The original SNES version looks way better.
