Some of us generally like to keep things complete.

Yeah, we all have our own preferences on that.

I'd rather play Chuka Taisen, but it's been cancelled...

Cancelled.

What? Where? All I see is a link to the Chuka Taisan screenshots... and when you say 'its cancelled'... do you mean Chuka Taisan or Kiki kaikai 2 ??

EDIT: Ok, I see it now. Dammit, I was looking forward to this... its actually been the ONLY incoming game that I've been looking forward to. I'm gonna go sulk for a while.

Lame.

Edit: Correction, it's bogus too.

Waiting for someone to start a petition. A physical one would perhaps convince them taht even us westerners were excited.

that is a shame- I heard "smash tv" and was very interested from the start!

I'm devastated. That was the main game I've been looking forward to for the past 6 months.

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Wed Jun 13, 2007 11:18 pm

Boy, this is impressive. With this news, exactly one half of the games I've really looked forward to this year have been cancelled.

CIT · Post by **CIT** » Wed Jun 13, 2007 11:26 pm

Yeah, same here. The other game having been Odin Sphere.

I guess this means $60 more towards my Tenshi No Juusha fund.

I was interested because it was kikikaikai, but it didn't look all that interesting. I'm certain I'll find something better to play.

Bugger. I've spent next to nothing on games this year, and this was going to be a definite buy. I'm pretty disappointed.

Guess I have to file this one right next to PS2 Ketsui and the US GC release of Radirgy.

WTF!?

WHO IS IN CHARGE HERE!? WHO CANCELLED THIS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!?

I'm surprised the series had so many fans here. Tough times...

Post by **Shatterhand** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 4:58 pm

well, while not being a fan of the series, I played some of the original KikiKaiKai on the MSX, and I acually love Pocky & Rocky 2 on SNES... me too, was looking forward to this...

Don't talk about Ketsui like that!

What a drag. One of the only games not already released that I was still looking forward to.

As it turns out, Kiki Kai World is not the Kiki KaiKai (Pocky and Rocky) sequel that was announced and cancelled. However, it is by the same developer, is "very similar" to the cancelled game, and is more of a "spiritual successor," says UFO.

Ok, so it's not the Starfish Kiki Kai 2, or am I just missing the point completely?

PaCrappa · Post by **PaCrappa** » Sat Sep 01, 2007 4:52 pm

I feel optimistic this morning so I'll take this as good news.

Thanks Limbrooke!

From what I can tell, the art direction looks the same (which isn't like the originals,unfortunately) and it's also developed by Starfish. However, "isn't the same". Not like anyone will know...there was hardly any material released for the "original remake" or whatever you want to call it. I won't shoot it down until I see it. I am somewhat excited though.

I'm praying it's not going to 3d.

iatneH · Post by **iatneH** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 12:21 am

If it's real, will it be a US-only release? How come it seems the only news has come from UFO and I haven't heard anything about a Japanese version?

ARCADIA · Post by **ARCADIA** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 1:39 am

Big change, no more "Sayo-chan"

For US (PS2) Kiki Kai World and Japan (Wii) it's called "Yukinko Daisenpuu: Sayuki to Koyuki no Hiehie Daisoudou"

iatneH · Post by **iatneH** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 2:50 am

Whoa, she's sexy now. But I will miss Sayo...

Who is publishing the Wii version? I see nothing on Starfish's site.
