"Powered up" sequel to the Super Famicom game. I don't see systems listed, but I assume Switch + PS4 like the other Tengo Project games.

Thanks for the link. I loved Pocky and Rocky with Becky on the GBA, makes me want to go and play it again...
... or not looking at the prices of carts on eBay. Ouch.
Well, I guess I can look forward to the new release all the more enthusiastically.

You're arguing for a universe with fewer waffles in it. I'm prepared to call that cowardice.

It's on the Wii U virtual console, if you've got one of those.benstylus wrote:Thanks for the link. I loved Pocky and Rocky with Becky on the GBA, makes me want to go and play it again...

I love how lush the 2D art is. Especially now in widescreen. If only we could get more games like this in the modern age. An amazing looking gem that I'm definitely picking up. I presume a Strictly Limited Games physical release will happen at some point.
Re: New Pocky & Rocky 2021 Announcement Trailer (Tengo Proje
If there's a PC "port", I really hope they don't cripple it with DRM again like they did with Wild Guns Reloaded.
Of course, that's just an opinion.

As of now it's only been announced for Switch - hopefully others are to follow - but on the bright side it has already been confirmed as coming West sometime next year.Sengoku Strider wrote:I don't see systems listed, but I assume Switch + PS4 like the other Tengo Project games.

Re: New Pocky & Rocky 2021 Announcement Trailer (Tengo Proje
This is really exciting, especially since it seems to indicate that it's a brand new game. The sprite art already confirms what we all know, which is that Tengo Project has the best professional 2D artists working today. Gorgeous!
I hope that if there is a multi-language release (like there was for Ninja Warriors) I can bypass the cringe-worthy "pocky and rocky" name and keep the characters as Sayo and Manuke. It's not the 90s anymore guys. This stupid localization joke can be put to rest.

First proper gameplay trailer is here, 'Pocky & Rocky Reshrined' is the title they're going with:
https://youtu.be/DbGGQVvmg0k
There's an outside chance this is my most anticipated title of the year, especially if Aleste Branch isn't coming this year.

This looks promising so far! Pocky & Rocky is one of my favorite games on the SNES so I'm excited to check this out.

Re: New Pocky & Rocky 2021 Announcement Trailer (Tengo Proje
The game looks pretty mesmerizing, I agree. Looks like they do wanna keep up the Pocky/Rocky gag but w/e. I suspect that much like Ninja Warriors Once Again, Tengo Project will focus less on the score aspect and more on the stage completion time aspect; which is fine in all honesty. I wouldn't want the game to be centered around milking enemy spawners anyway vs going full ikari on these dirty nopino goblins.
Also: that bean-gobblin' goblin has never looked better!

I would hope that they add a strafe button to this version, but looking at the trailer it doesn't look like they have
so... be prepared to hear that get brought up in every review of the game
still, looking forward to seeing the SNES Natsume Holy Trinity completed

Re: New Pocky & Rocky 2021 Announcement Trailer (Tengo Proje
I'd really like to see an option for twin stick controls. I know it's not as true to the original, but it just feels so much better for this kind of design.
Re: New Pocky & Rocky 2021 Announcement Trailer (Tengo Proje
Agreed, my main thought on playing both Commando and Mercs recently. Feels so ungainly having to yank the stick around to spread fire around properly.ShamefurDispray wrote:I'd really like to see an option for twin stick controls.

Re: New Pocky & Rocky 2021 Announcement Trailer (Tengo Proje
I figured this would be the next one. Glad to see it.
From what I read, this is a sequel? It seems to have the same first stage, but the rest of it is new? Some of it certainly looks heavily inspired by the original. Maybe
this will be like that Sonic Mania game?

Re: New Pocky & Rocky 2021 Announcement Trailer (Tengo Proje
Can we maybe collectively message them to do this? Anyone else like to see twin stick controls? It's just so much nicer. It would be nicer for Wild Guns too.Agreed, my main thought on playing both Commando and Mercs recently. Feels so ungainly having to yank the stick around to spread fire around properly.
Re: New Pocky & Rocky 2021 Announcement Trailer (Tengo Proje
Looking really good, I can only hope that they also make a PC version at some point.
Re: New Pocky & Rocky 2021 Announcement Trailer (Tengo Proje
Yeah, that's my hope as well. I don't really want to grab games for the Switch due to drifting.NMS wrote:Looking really good, I can only hope that they also make a PC version at some point.
Re: New Pocky & Rocky 2021 Announcement Trailer (Tengo Proje
Do you actually experience the drifting issue? It never happened to me, but I guess I got lucky and got a SKU without the issue. I heard it's a pretty easy fix, though?
Re: New Pocky & Rocky 2021 Announcement Trailer (Tengo Proje
I did on my first set, and it was terrible. My second haven't really done it, having said that, I've picked up 8bitdo and Retro-Bit pads since then, and an arcade stick, so they actually get very little use, especially in the current climate.

Cool, but I'm still waiting for NWOA on steam
Re: New Pocky & Rocky 2021 Announcement Trailer (Tengo Proje
I see the gameplay trailer is calling this Pocky & Rocky Reshrined.
I saw elsewhere recently it being called Pocky & Rocky Black Cloak Mystery.
I get the Reshrined, but that also rings of rehashed.
Retro rehash marketing is wearing thin.
Black Cloak Mystery lures me in for something new. What is the mystery. I wanna know. Reshrined has no intrigue.

Re: New Pocky & Rocky 2021 Announcement Trailer (Tengo Proje
Black Cloak Mystery is pretty much the SFC game's original title (Kiki Kaikai: Nazo no Kuro Mantle) - even ties into the plot

I still prefer "Pockier and Rockier", much as BIL remains loyal to "Ninja Warriors Again Again".

Too bad, but I'll support the dev taking longer to do it better every time. They're not doing some Unity mobile-looking thing, they have my support.
