Team Reptile will release Bomb Rush Cyberfunk for Switch as a timed console exclusive alongside its previously announced PC (Steam) version in 2022, the developer announced. “Other platforms,” which were not specified, will launch a week later.

This one week of time exclusivity from Team Reptile is pretty weird but Switch and PC are always getting perks from indies.

Anyway this game looks rad.

I'm the biggest Dreamcast fan around and JSR was tops. Can't wait.

 

[kingwingin]

Is this even legal? I'll be there day one!

 

[the_master]

I am seriously looking forward to this. I hope they nailed it. Level design and gameplay.

 

[Pejo]

Wow, looks great, just have to see how it plays.

 

[Max_Po]

And..sued...

 

[The Fartist]

Skateboard > Rollerblades

 

[cireza]

One week exclusivity. Now this is going to be a major reason to pick the Switch version.

 

[Orta]

How have Sega not issued a c&d to these guys?

 

[Panajev2001a]

How have Sega not issued a c&d to these guys?

Their lawyers are incompetent or they actually do not give much of a shit about gaming / want free publicity.

 

[DGrayson]

Is this even legal? I'll be there day one!

 

[nush]

Is this even legal? I'll be there day one!

Wow, that's like so blatant, it looks like a mod of JSR.

Anyway I'd play it, indies do what Sega don't.

 

[Majukun]

And..sued...

for what?

 

[junguler]

yeah i've seen shillup mention this a few times, looks hype as fuck.

 

[Alan Wake]

Looks amazing. Another missed opportunity by Sega.

 

[xiseerht]

I am looking forward to this , but boy I can see Sega talking to their lawyers this morning for real.

 

[YCoCg]

Guys this isn't exactly new, it's been shown for nearly a year, if SEGA actually cared or gave a damn they would've acted already.

 

[mcjmetroid]

And..sued...

This is a spiritual successor to Jet Set Radio using none of the characters or the name.

Can Konami sue the developers for Bloodstained ripping off Castlevania?

 

[lame gag1990]

This one actually looks like JSR. Sega could potentially reach out to them and licence as they've been doing fuck all with the franchise for about 20 years.

 

[RavenSan]

I don't understand the people thinking this they're gonna get sued.

Similar games? Absolutely. But as long as no JGR or JSRF assets are being used / characters / names / etc, it seems perfectly legal to me.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

This looks tidy, Really hope the gameplay isn't trash.

 

[Black_Stride]

PC day fucking one at 144Hz.

Straight into my veins!

 

[00_Zer0]

News about this game has been out there for awhile now, but now is getting more hype because of a Switch release. Btw, as others have said, spiritual successors are free from copyright infringement. As long as the developers don't reuse assets from the original game they will be fine. What makes this really funny, is that Hideki Naganuma, the original composer of JSR, is also doing the music for this release. Sega has no issues with all the Sonic fan games or mods, so they will not go after this developer either, especially since it's just a spiritual successor.

 

[Skifi28]

Technically legal, the best type of legal.

 

[Kazza]

PC day fucking one at 144Hz.

Straight into my veins!

144Hz has been confirmed for PC? Great, if true! 30 fps really held back a game like this (only around 10 fps in some parts of Future on the OG Xbox!)

 

[Beer Baelly]

Nice for the fans, It never clicked with me unlike Tony Hawk for example and think JSR sucks.

 

[lachesis]

Well, I'm definitely picking this one up one way or another, as I love Hideki Naganuma's JSR music.

Only issue is whether I should for the Switch, or PC. If Switch can run this game at solid 60fps, I will go with Switch... if not go with PC.

 

[Enjay]

The term spiritual successor is a red flag nowadays.

 

[Boy bawang]

If the game is a success, I hope that Sega will give them jsr3 like they gave sonic mania.

 

[TwistedSyn]

New video was just posted. Actual game play this time.

 

[NeonDelta]

not a fan of the name, but it looks great. hope it plays great too.

 

[KormaChameleon]

Ok. Count me in! Love JSR!

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

New video was just posted. Actual game play this time.

Love the camera tilting when on the rails, reminds me of some of the camera effects from some of SEGA's Model-series games from the '90s.

Will be picking this up when it drops, just wished more of these releases came Day 1 to GOG :S

 

[SirTerry-T]

Looks great but bloody hell does it wear it's influences loud and proud

 

[Kokoloko85]

Ill be buying it. Love JSR and Dreamcast

 

[lachesis]

Why is it so hard to do some simple AA for the cell shaded game, I wonder...?
I've been playing Persona 5 Strikers, and the aliasing on the game quite something too - and I noticed this game also has so much aliasing going on.
Please... just clean up the edges a bit for the final release.

 

[Markio128]

My lasting memory of JSR is the music, not necessarily the gameplay, or even the visuals, which were unique at the time, but not so much nowadays.

 

[ShinobiWan1]

Looks fantastic! I hope it will have a create your own graffiti option! I LOOOVED making my stuff, and then seeing them on the walls!

Jet Grind Radio DC

JSRF Xbox

(Warcraft III had just released)

SUPER happy to hear that Hideki Naganuma is on board! This used to be the song playing on my old Myspace page LOL

My lasting memory of JSR is the music, not necessarily the gameplay, or even the visuals, which were unique at the time, but not so much nowadays.

Jet Set Radio Future on the Xbox cleaned up the controls, they were a lot tighter! I highly recommend it! (only available on the Xbox, but it's backwards compatible on the 360!!)
