New Pocky and Rocky for Switch!

[DeuceGamer | 35]

Looks like we are getting a new Pocky and Rocky on Switch.

I love how many of these retro titles are being revisited and maintain a lot of their retro gameplay. It appears this will also maintain that style, but guess we will find out soon.
 

Hopefully we get a Physical release as well.

Apparently it’s a remake, not a new game and is a bad translation. Still happy to see these older titles come to newer platforms for newer generations to experience.

Very cool, I’d love to have some Pocky & Rocky on a modern console. I could see it getting a Bubble Bobble 4 Friends style of physical release at best.

Yea, it’s apparently a remake similar to Wild Guns where it also has some new content added. Would like a completely new entry, but I’m happy that it will be available to newer generations and it will also include some new content for everyone.

The Switch has had a lot of these retro type throwbacks, sequels, remakes, etc... Wild Guns, Ninja Warriors, Panzer Dragoon, Street Fighter II, Bubble Bobble, Monster Boy, Blaster Master, on and on. I for one, love it.

This sounds pretty cool. Wish it was a new entry though. And this reminds me I still need a copy of Pocky and rocky with Becky on GBA. Anyone have one for trade or sale lol?
