Digimon All-Star Rumble announced for NA/EU (PS3/360)

[GameWinner]

​

Not the Digimon game I wanted but still buying.

Summary

Jam-packed with an all-star cast from the Digimon Universe, Digimon All-Star Rumble throws down with immersive 3D battle arenas and high-impact, in-your-face fighting action.

After overcoming countless crises, the Digital World now exists peacefully once again. Although Digimon quarrel amongst themselves on occasion, the world as a whole is a peaceful place… perhaps too peaceful…

The incredible defenders of the Digital World have grown bored and peace brings no satisfaction. A world without chaos has extinguished the driving force behind their existence – to Digivolve. To pacify the growing unrest, a proposal was made… “Let us gather all Digimon who seek to Digivolve and hold a tournament to crown the strongest of them all!” And so began, the “Digimon Evolution Tournament.” A tournament of Digi-monumental proportions.

Features

All-Star Cast - Digimon All-Star Rumble features an all-star cast of characters, each with their own unique fighting style and moves. Choose from 12 of your all-time favorite characters from the Digimon Universe spanning from Digimon Adventure to Digimon Fusion. Digivolve to unlock advanced forms!
All New Story - Digimon All-Star Rumble features an in-depth campaign mode where players can explore the Digital World through 3D stages. Your ultimate goal is to battle your way to the top of the Digi-Rankings!
Digi-destined to Digivolve! – Power up and Digivolve to gain advantage over your opponents and deal massive damage!
Fun for All Ages – Easy pick-up-and-play controls for beginners.
10 Different Battle Arenas – Throw down in stages pulled straight from the Digimon Universe!
DigiCards – Collect DigiCards to enhance and strengthen your Digimon in battle!

I honestly think this is some test for NA/EU audiences. They didn't announce the newer 3DS or Vita titles but instead announce a game we've never seen before. I'm buying, we haven't had a Digimon game in NA since 2008 after all.

so...
wiiu gets smash bros
and
ps3/360 get a Digimon smash bros/power stone, type game

it might not be the Digimon game people want, but is a start(in getting new Digimon games to the west), maybe other Digimon games will out in NA/EU as well

Only if it sells well, otherwise it's bye bye to Digimon games for another 5+ years. ;_;

The Rumble Arena games were fun so I'll gladly take this.

 

[porkiewpyne]

Didn't like RA2 as much as the original though.

And dayum, seeing the trains do damage reminds me of the rolling boulders in the first Rumble Arena. Good times.

[CathyRina]

WELL it's not what 99% of people who signed the petition wanted but thanks to the Petition we get this.
Which okay I guess. Power Stone and Rumble arena Games were really fun. Definitely gonna buy it.

Europe still has as his last Digimon games Battle Spirit 2 for GBA and Rumble Arena 2 for PS2.
Here comes the Rumble Arena ripoff, maybe Battle Spirit ripoff for 3DS/Vita now?

I wouldn't really call it a ripoff since they are from the same franchise.....

the original was lots of fun, the second... wasn't that good. and you know you want the other games more that this. if I were able to swap ASR with CS or RDD I'll do it.

Of course I want the other games but they clearly aren't bringing them over if this game flops. Namco did the samething with One Piece. They brought over Pirate Warriors as a digital only title in NA, now we're getting almost all of the latest games.

Eesh.. it's been a while since the home consoles were given a Digimon game, last time it was on PS2/OX.

I really like what I'm seeing but why make this game exclusive to last-gen consoles? It'd be sweet to play it on PS4/XO/WU too (well, Wii U's going to have Smash 4 during Winter so no one will really care for Digimon).

One thing about Smash Bros. clones is that they're really good and coming from Bandai I'm expecting it to be pretty good, since Battle Stadium D.O.N was too.

Awesome~!

Namco is still one of the few publishers that think their games will sell much better on last gen consoles despite the fact that last gen sales are collapsing.

Man, it's been so long since we've had a Digimon...thing in the US I absolutely forgot it existed.

actually a anime started months ago in the US and will start soon in germany too. Unfortunately we are talking about Xros Wars, a rather bad entry in the series.
