Developed for the Atomiswave arcade platform and debuting in 2005, The Rumble Fish 2 delighted players with its flashy, technical gameplay governed by five buttons and two super move gauges and stood out with a unique, colorful cast of 16 characters punctuated by the game’s innovative “Smooth Model Animation” system, allowing for 2D sprite animation on a per-limb basis.

Exclusive to arcades until now, and never been released outside of Japan, this new release marks the first time The Rumble Fish 2 will ever be officially available on consoles and PC.

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 own base of operations to the ruined sector and builds a massive city run by the corporation. Lavished with colossal capital and cutting-edge technology, the 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.

3goo is thrilled to reveal that Dimps Corporation’s beloved fighting game sequel The Rumble Fish 2 will be launching on 8 December 2022 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X / S, Xbox One, and PC (Steam).
