Wonder if it's a straight port, or if they're using the mobile game as a base to remake it?

Christ... really?
Wonder how much they'll charge for something like this.
If it plays like the GBA version, then probably not.

I remember playing Gekido and Double Dragon Advance as a kid and enjoying the former a good bit more.
This game and the prequel still looked cool, even for their time. Looks like I have missed out on some good underlooked games. I am excited for this, regardless if it's a straight port or a built from the ground up remake.
Also, I Didn't know Joe Madureira (of Battle Chasers fame) did art for this game until now.

The PS1 game was better in some ways, but honestly both were quite poor as games -- they were popular due to the graphics/design and lack of competition.
Would love to see obscure GBA sleepers like Ninja Five-O get a similar treatment. I know Konami is pretty much out of the game, but they did support Switch with Bomberman earlier this year.
Oh, that's a good news !
I would love too ! Ninja Five-O was so fun (Ninja + Grappling Hook = GOLD ^^) !
I never realised they did any other Gekido games apart from the PS1 one.
I think I'd like to check this out, even if it's for nostalgia sake.

I never heard or saw the mobile game nor can I find info on it. was it ever released?
It must be the GBA version and not the PS1 game. The PS game has a different name and aged rather poorly (graphics wise).
I wonder if they do something about the resolution though.
GBA emulation on the WiiU is pretty damn awesome though and games look surprisingly good (even on TV)
He's definitely edited from at least one SNK sprite. The walk cycle and jumping uppercut are from K'. There might be Shingo or Kyo animations in there too.
That's a weird port for a weird (pre?) sequel. Gekido would be better with some tighter level design.
But hey. Hopefully this means more of it, why not.
Talk about underrated gems!

YES

Apparently the game will be released in March. According to their facebook page.
It doesn't bode well for me that they haven't even released a single screenshot of the Switch version. The GBA game looked great, but it was way too simple. Hopefully they are keeping the art style and find a way to add more content to it. I really hope they aren't remaking the game with polygons like the PSX version.

Oh yeah, that's right. I forgot that there was a PS1 fighting game with the same name. That was a weird 3D polygonal fighter. It had that weird nu-metal rock soundtrack. Given how rare 3D brawlers were back then, I remember it being kinda fun.

I never played the Game Boy Advance game, though.
