Be a Real Man and Help Name a New Game for Atlus

The name Kenka Bancho 3 won’t win over American audiences


Atlus has announced that they will be bringing over Kenka Bancho 3 to America early next year. However, they have a problem; they don’t know what to call it! Kenka Bancho 1 and 2 never made it stateside, and your normal everyday joe is not going to know what a Kenka or a Bancho is, so some things are going to have to change. Thusly Atlus is asking us for help, because we always know what’s best.

Kenka Bancho 3 is a third person beat’em up, that takes place in a historic Japanese city on a class trip. In the game you are some kind of super manly bully that beats the hell out of anyone who gets in his way (with manly intimidation lasers and all.) Basically, it’s like the video game version of Be a Man Samurai School, Rokudenashi Blues, and Cromartie High School.

If I had to give it a name, it would be “For Real Men Only.” (sorry ladies)

I'm disappointed that "Ragegasm Aniki 3 - Skinhead Beatdown" was not among the choices.
