Capcom's Kenichi

Well, donnu if you heard of this or not, but Capcom is giving it another go at a 3d fighter. This time they're not bothering to convert Street Fighter but going for a new franchise altogether.

Looks like a cross between the DBZ-budokai and KoF:MI series to me, graphically that is. (Actually a bit like Rumble Fish really, if any of you have ever come across that one.)

Funny that they made the main girl a sort of young Sarah Bryant in anime form. The bodysuit just can't be ignored in this. Actually, I'd love to see a jacket item for Sarah's 1P costume now...

Can't say it looks all that promising, but it is definately interesting that anybody would be willing to open up a new fighting game franchise in this day and age. (Once more, just like Rumble Fish.)

 

yeah you're right about the crosses. i think it looks rather cool. lets just hope it doesn't turn into elither a tekken rip with power moves. or bloody roar...gods i hate that game..the controls is out there and same goes for the specials... one would blah.

 

Oh. It's History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi, a pretty established manga that's recently been made into an anime.
I wouldn't call this a risky new fighting game franchise. Any more than the Bleach fighters, anyway.

 

Capcom sold out to do a franchise game for someone else?

Where is this world coming to?!

 

Ever hear of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure?

 

I have, but I doubt many others will raise their hands...
