How to be a Bancho

Taste the painbow!



Leave it to Atlus to make a step-by-step instructional video on how to be the baddest Bancho in the west. What? You don’t know what a Bancho is? Well, it’s basically the Japanese version of a bully, who leads those around him/her through power and intimidation (ie. Kuwabara). In case you haven’t figured it out already, this is actually a trailer for the game Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble, which is set to be released in America on the 10th of November, 2009.

This game looks amazing for those of us who want to become the biggest badass in Japan. Seriously, in what other video game can you you get crazy eye menchi laser beams and talk trash to your opponent; that’s right no other game can do this. So who will be grabbing this one in November?

Looks like a 3D version of Rive City Ransom, sort of.  Awesome trailer though.  The game looks interesting.
