Street Fighter IV Co-Developer Dimps Acquires Rights to Rumble Fish Series

Street Fighter IV Co-Developer Dimps Acquires Rights to Rumble Fish Series
iantothemax by on July 20th, 2012 at 7:56 pm

Japanese development studio Dimps announced last night that they are now the sole owners of The Rumble Fish, a fighting game series that spawned two games released in 2004 and 2005. Rights to the series were previously owned by Sammy and then Sega when the two companies merged, but Dimps has always been the only studio behind its development. Most recently, the company has served as co-developer for both the Street Fighter IV series and Street Fighter x Tekken with Capcom.

While specifics have yet to be revealed, the company says Rumble Fish development is currently being planned, and a new site has been opened for the series that sports art and links to the official pages for both the first game and its sequel.

      I don’t take it this game can be MAME’d can it?

      • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_TIC7WNRSMFBSCLF6OR6JQJAAZA sb

         Not MAME’d but it sure is DEMUL’d lol played a little Rumble Fish 2 today

  • Liam Conlon

  • http://twitter.com/N0_1SPECIAL STREAM MONSTER LvL2

    HOLY SHIT THIS GAME LOOKS AWESOME!

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_TIC7WNRSMFBSCLF6OR6JQJAAZA sb

    thats a game i thought i would never see on the radar these fighting game news just keep getting better and better time to crank up the Demul

  • Syndication_M

    I hope they release RF2 cause I want to play it already!

  • akaisuisei

    STILL can’t get CvS2, Jesus.

    • kofi agyeman

      yea. capcom is using the third or fifth rerelease of 10 year old fighting games to justify NOT making a new one. Games that almost anyone who uses this site has a copy of and can probably play ggpo. need that

      • de1irium

        Oh you got CvS2 on GGPO?  Share the wealth, bro!

        • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_TIC7WNRSMFBSCLF6OR6JQJAAZA sb

          CvS2 on GGPO i wish but if they could they woulda been added that

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Justin-Archer/747006074 Justin Archer

        It’s not on ggpo. We want a new one so we can have it in HD and play online against other people.

        Are you stupid?

       They don’t have the SNK rights anymore.  Why are you people so fucking dense?  This brief article was ENTIRELY about IP rights changing hands, and yet you still don’t understand the concept, you just keep going HURRRRRRRRR WHY U NO MAKE?

      Just drop it already, fuck.  SNK isn’t giving up those rights.

      • akaisuisei

        Everyone understands well enough about IP’s. What people don’t understand is why Capcom and SNK don’t want easy money. Oh yes I forgot; you dense sack of shit.

        • Mike Arthur

          You are a moron, please shut up.

          • akaisuisei

            You are an uninformed, disrespectful, and callous douchebag. Of course you’re acting accordingly.

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/Gethoff-Mahfacebuk/558552166 Gethoff Mahfacebuk

           In case you haven’t noticed, there’s nothing easy about making fighting games, production or business wise.

          • Donovan Harris

            Dude…porting an old game?

          • RELLIK .exe

            I somehow seeing porting CvS2 being a real nightmare.
            If you look at the battle systems with grooves…porting that could mean a fucktone of a mess.

    rumble fish is way better than SF4, that’s for sure

    • ArmoredBoar

      SFIV is mostly a bastardized TRF anyway.

  • DiscoCokkroach

    What IS Rumble Fish, anyway? A fighter?  An action game?

    • martin rush

       fighter game.

    • http://twitter.com/samael789 samael789

       Would there be a news story on here if it weren’t at least fighter-related?

  • kaede_rukawa

     the first one felt to floaty and slow, give me sprites damn it!!

    • http://www.facebook.com/rob.kusanagi Rob Toohey

      true, but they did fix that problem in 2. 2 was smooth and fast

  • http://twitter.com/ReikoMori Ari Noir

    IT’S ME IT’S ME IT’S RUMBLE FISH 3!

    • http://twitter.com/j8slim Jerrod Branson

       They still haven’t made a ‘dislike’ button?  That link needs one.

  • Yaphet Bruce

    If they ever make a Rumble Fish 3, you know they’re gonna mess it up. Always wanted to play this series.

    Looking forward to Chaos Code as well!

    • http://twitter.com/ReikoMori Ari Noir

       They made the first two….If they mess up their OWN game that would be just stupid.

  • blakbomb

    More Parts Crush! Yay!

    YOOOO!! Garnet/Kaya/Hazama/Alan LET’S GOOOO!!!!

  • http://twitter.com/Adnan199X Adnan

    Never played either game though I’ve seen videos of the first one, the game has funky graphics and the meter system looks interesting.

  • vinny webber

    played alot of RF2 in evo2k8 during casuals, so this is definitely a title that would b great for re-release on xbla/psn. AGREED!!!
