Check Out This Launch Trailer For New 2D Fighting Game POCKET RUMBLE

Pocket Rumble is a 2D fighting game developed by independent studio Cardboard Robot Games. The game is inspired by SNK's Neo Geo Pocket Color, which was a handheld console released in the late 90s and featured 16-Bit coloured graphics. 

After a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2013, Pocket Rumble was finally ready to begin development. The game was initially released on Steam as an Early Access title back in February of 2016 and is now being ported to the Nintendo Switch—releasing on the eShop on the 5th of July.

Pocket Rumble harkens back to classic Neo Geo Pocket titles like Fatal Fury: First Contact, The King of Fighters R1/R2, and SNK Vs Capcom: The Match of the Millenium. The only difference with classic fighting games is that Pocket Rumble aims to be more welcoming to beginners as it reduces the level of combo execution to a bare minimum by featuring 2-button controls. 

• Simple, 2-button controls and universal, easy special move inputs with no complex joystick motions
• Short combos with easy timing and a straightforward cancel system 
• On-screen frame data bar and visual indicators for properties like invulnerability help players understand fighting game mechanics and how individual moves work
• Simple, unambiguous health and damage system: All characters have 12 HP and all hits do 1 damage
• Diverse cast of characters each with their own unique meter and mechanics
• Quickly swap characters after a lost round to counterpick, just like between matches in a tournament, without slowing down the pace of the match
• Near-flawless online multiplayer with GGPO netcode
• Full Steam Workshop mod support including the ability to play mods online with friends
• Arcade Mode: Face off against the rest of the game's cast, meet special parameters and complete challenges to earn achievements and unlocks
• Versus Mode: Play local matches with friends or the CPU, and get competitive with hidden cursors for double-blind character select at the touch of a button
• Career Mode: Take part in fictional fighting game tournaments around the globe, playing against AIs based on some of Pocket Rumble's top players from the beta, and eventually facing off against AIs from some familiar faces in the FGC
• Lessons Mode: Robust tutorials that teach you the very basics of how fighting games work
• Training Mode: A fully-featured training mode with a variety of hotkeys and options including viewable hitboxes, save states, dummy recording and more
• Ranked Mode: Get matched up with players of your skill level online, earn points and rank up with Elo ratings, leaderboards including character-specific rankings, and a rematch button to challenge someone to an unranked set when you need that runback
• Ghosts: Ghost AI records in-depth statistics from your ranked matches and creates an AI other players can download that emulates your playstyle
• HD Rumble is a Nintendo Switch version exclusive

Pocket Rumble is a streamlined, beginner-friendly 2D fighting game inspired by SNK's classic fighters for the Neo Geo Pocket Color. It retains all the gameplay elements that make traditional fighters great, but reduces the level of execution and memorization necessary to the bare minimum!
