Cotton REBOOT 2(!) and COTTON ROCK N' ROLL 2 ANNOUNCED!
Re: Cotton Reboot (2021, PS4/NSW), and now, COTTON ROCK N' R
I was kind of excited to see Umihara Kawase show up, but then the character art appeared. She used to be a fairly modest, somewhat androgynous character, but the de-evolution of her character design has become a visual crime scene.
This was my first experience with the series
And now we're fully into sexualized 3rd grader territory

I'm not a fan of the art style, but I think it's simply meant to be a cartoony art style. Silk looks odd in the style too. Umihara was drawn with big breasts ever since Shun.
Re: Cotton Reboot (2021, PS4/NSW), and now, COTTON ROCK N' R
Yeah she's had big honkin' tits for a while now. I'm pretty sure she's not supposed to be a 3rd grader anymore.
Re: Cotton Reboot (2021, PS4/NSW), and now, COTTON ROCK N' R
Ah, thanks for this. Definitely looks a lot better than the initial screens. I went ahead and picked up the pre-order with the Cotton fig beforehand anyway, 'cause I need that I love me some Cotton.EmperorIng wrote:Longer Cotton Rock n' Roll gameplay video now, about 4 minutes of footage

Child Kawase in Sayonara aside, she never really was. She was actually supposed to be 19 in the original SFC game, and 20 in Shun and Sayonara.DietSoap wrote:Yeah she's had big honkin' tits for a while now. I'm pretty sure she's not supposed to be a 3rd grader anymore.
Cotton has never been a series I've been very into, but Rock n' Roll looks like a game I might very well pick up on an eShop sale.
My 1CCs so I can find the list easier myself

Someone looked at the scoreboards being set up for Rock n' Roll on one of Success' websites, and it looks like the 4 (initial?) characters are:
Cotton
Umihara
Psyva Ria
Vein
I suppose we can deduce what gameplay styles these two, as of yet unrevealed characters will bring.
There was a loketest today, apparently, but I can't find if there was any streams of it.

Wow, that's a deep cut. That's Luffee from Doki Doki Poyacchio, some kind of life sim game by M2 from 1998. Apparently she's also in Umihara Bazooka.BrianC wrote:The Cotton website showed another guest character (a girl in a red dress). ルフイ-

Strictly Limited sent out a new email to their mailing list teasing editions of Saturn Tribute and Cotton Rock'n Roll. Unclear if there's going to be anything different about Saturn Tribute given we already know the worldwide digital release won't have an English story mode - might just be an English package that's identical to the Japanese retail release?
Re: Cotton Reboot (2021, PS4/NSW), and now, COTTON ROCK N' R
Apparently, the Cotton Rock n Roll has been recently released to Sega AMP3 internet-connected arcade with console release coming in a few months. However the shocking surprise is that Exa Arcadia has secured the game with new exclusive features such as 2 player simultaneous.

Here is a new video of the arcade version

Looking slightly better than what is shown in the recent console version trailer.

Rock n' Roll also now has physical Japan editions up for Pre-order and there are 4 of them.
-Normal edition (5000 yen)
-Limited edition (8000 yen) includes a fantastic Cotton Nendroid figure, soundtrack, and Cotton series art book
-Amazon limited edition (11000 yen) includes everything from the regular limited edition plus a Silk DLC
-Famitsu DX pack (15000 yen) includes everything from the normal limited edition plus a tapestry, an extra soundtrack disc, new tea cup, and a bromide set.
I'm pretty damn happy about this set and finally getting a proper Cotton figure after all these years

this game looks awesome, and apparently is thanks to the team behind the umihara series according to the credits. Can't wait to play it.

Please let me know your impressions! I haven't had the chance or wherewithal to set this up but the video makes it look a little on the easy side. Maybe not though! The scoring at least looks satisfying and pleasant.

They are, more or less. You need to look into the app that lets you run them at home, it's pretty easy to find. Not sure if it's against rules to post about it here or not, but it has the initials TP.banjoted wrote:Rolling Gunner, you say?

Only watched part of this so as not to spoil the whole game for myself, but a couple of things jumped out at me:KAI wrote:Full playthrough

- They seem to be leaning particularly hard into the silliness this time, at least as far as the between-stage story sequences are concerned; they look goofier than ever, and I couldn't be happier.
- Off the cuff it appears that scoring is based almost entirely on using bombs offensively; seems they're carrying on the approach from 2 and Boomerang that your main shot is basically a backup for when you can't kill enemies the "right" way.
- On that note, is it me or does it look like the "tornado" bomb is much more useful than the other two? It covers more space and lasts longer than either the fire or lightning bombs, and at a glance it doesn't appear that the latter two make up for that in terms of raw damage or anything else. Maybe I'm just missing something.
Is there any additional info floating around about this? Amazon.co.jp does have an "exclusive to Amazon" version of the LE up, but it doesn't seems to mention anything different than the "non-exclusive" version's page.-Amazon limited edition (11000 yen) includes everything from the regular limited edition plus a Silk DLC

Speaking of preorder bonuses, that Cotton nendoroid sure is cute. I dunno I can be bothered to get a special edition, but it *is* adorable.

Wow they did a fantastic job with this. I can't decipher the moon runes but it looks like each character brings their own unique mechanics. Bravo.

Some additional footage of Umihara, as well as Appli, who seems to retain the ability to grab and toss enemies from 2/Boomerang.
