The Rumble Fish 2 (NSP, XCI) ROM + v4.0.0 Update + 3 DLCs

The Rumble Fish 2 (ザ・ランブルフィッシュ2) is a 2D fighting game for the Atomiswave arcade platform. It was produced by Dimps and published by Sammy. It is the sequel to The Rumble Fish, bringing in several new additions. A re-release of Taito’s NESiCAxLive arcade digital delivery service was made available in 2012. In 2020, a homebrew conversion was released for the Dreamcast.

On July 13, 2022, 3goo Co., Ltd. announced that The Rumble Fish 2, along with its predecessor, would be released for home consoles with widescreen support in December 2022. This marks the first time that The Rumble Fish 2 leaves arcades officially and marks the first time that The Rumble Fish 2 receives a worldwide release.

GAMEPLAY

The Rumble Fish 2 uses all of the elements from the first game and adds some new ones. The Offense and Defense gauges have been divided into three sections each, allowing for more usage of Offensive and Defensive Arts, as well as techniques tied to each gauge. An addition to the system is the Boost Dive, which puts each character into a powered-up state according to their style. Most characters have had modifications to their novelists in some way, such as new moves and new commands for old moves.

At the close of the 20th century… A large-scale natural disaster struck the eastern area of a certain country. The disaster wiped out the financial sector and toppled high-rise buildings over a wide area, even as far as the main functions of the capital. This resulted in the loss of a staggering 158,000 lives.

At the dawn of the 21st century… Conglomerate PROBE-NEXUS, commonly known as Probe, begins reconstruction efforts in the eastern area of said country. Probe relocates its base of operations to the ruined sector and builds a massive city run by the corporation.

Lavished with colossal capital and cutting-edge technology, modern-day Babylon is made up of skyscrapers that put the old high-rises to shame, the biggest shopping mall in the world, and recreational facilities one might mistake for a theme park. This was the dazzling birth of a symbol for the new century. It became the most essential place on the planet and was christened Zone Prime.
