If you like your Street Fights 2D with a fresh lick of paint, The Rumble Fish 2 might be the brawler for you.

Former Street Fighter and Fatal Fury developer’s sequel to cult classic 2D fighter is available to buy on digital platforms today.

The arcade classic sees its home console debut today,

The Rumble Fish 2 preserves the arcade original’s 5-button, 2-gauge battle system, allowing seasoned arcade players to enact the classic advanced tactical play the game is known for. On top of that the game includes several brand-new systems, with the modern fighter player in mind:

  • 16:9/60 FPS wide screen
  • Online mode with Rollback Net code
  • Various game modes: Arcade, Training, Time Attack, Survival, VS
  • Gallery

Last but not least, The Rumble Fish 2 offers a stunning visual experience, thanks to graphics powered by SMA – the “Smooth Model Animation” system, which animates 2D sprites on a per-limb basis. See it in action in the gameplay trailer below.

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, this new release marks the first time The Rumble Fish 2 will ever be officially available on consoles and PC.

The Rumble Fish 2 is now available digitally worldwide for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X / S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam alongside the retail Standard and Collector’s Edition in Japan. Collector’s Edition for the US and Europe will be released in Q2, 2023 and Physical Standard Edition on March 28th, 2023.
