Asuka 120% is coming back with two versions, one for Sega Genesis and other for "modern hardware"

[Hayama Akito]

Sources are kinda weird but here we go: on this video, Opera House (a japanese company that I haven't heard in aaaages) has confirmed that they are working on two new Asuka 120% games, the classic fighting game franchise by Fill-in-Cafe of the nineties, one of the pioneers of "anime fighters".

The first game is called Asuka 120% Reborn (a pun of り・ぼーん ), based on the X68000 version with a new character (a boxing girl) and new content that will be released for Megadrive (!!!) and later on Switch with an exclusive story mode. Then Asuka 120% O-Nyuu (that I guess お・にゅー can be read as "all new"?) will use "modern hardware" and the characters will be made with 3D models.

Asuka 120% is a fun series, I really like it so this is huge news for some people yet sure this sounds like a very Indie/Doujin approach to it, so let's see what will happen.

If you don't know what Asuka 120% is, take a look:

I have always been dissapointed with the small amount of fightin games on the Genesis, so this is good news.

 

[Primus]

Well that's definitely something unexpected.

 

[Ferrio]

There's a name I haven't heard in a long time. If it has rollback I'd pick it up just for laughs.

Oh my! Someone bring back Advanced V.G. next, please!

 

[Gloam]

What the... Cool!

 

[hiphoptherobot]

This is the number one fighting game of all time according to Giant Bomb's ranking of fighters, correct?

Oh my god, please! Yes!

And I do want Advanced, not the others, especially the ones released after Advanced VG2. It's fine to not have the porn in it like every version but the SNES and PS1 versions do.

Great soundtrack

 

[ArjanN]

Jeff Gerstmann is hyped.

Actually, this thread reminded me that I never bought one of the Asuka 120% PS1 classics, so I just went and bought Final.

 

[sir_crocodile]

Oh my! Someone bring back Advanced V.G. next, please!

Don't forget about the (awful) Pretty Fighter.

One of my favorite fighters and I thought it was long dead. I wonder what they mean by "3d models"? Something like the new Guilty Gear? (I havnt really paid attention to GG in years).

No, actually let's forget about that series, it was so bad.
