AtomPocky and Rocky spiritually return, Kiki Kai World is real
Earlier today we discovered the box art for The Monkey King: The Legend Begins. Now Wired news confirmed with UFO Interactive that the game is coming out along with Kiki Kai World! You might remember a little Super Nintendo game starring a Raccoon and a Shrine maiden called Pocky & Rocky. In Japan the series was known as Kiki KaiKai and a PS2 remake was originally in development. Kiki Kai World isn’t the same game. Due to licensing issues Kiki Kai World is a “spiritual successor” due to come out in North America in November for the PS2 and the Wii in early ’08. What an awesome surprise!

Wow! And to think I was doubtful when Siliconera listed the earlier article! Certainly a situation I’m glad to be mistaken… one thing though? Licensing issues? TAITO should be delighted that someone is to continue thier series!

Kiki Kaikai was one of my favorites. I think the last outing was on the GBA by Natsume right? That game was pretty horrible I traded it in. I’m looking forward to Kiki Kai World.

I really adored Pocky and Rocky when I was younger, though it was one of the more tougher games I’ve played in my life. If they can make a decent game out of this, then I’d definitely be interested. Assuming of course if it gets an European release that is.

gonna buy the wii version, maybe the ps2 version too.
I just don’t get it why not releasing both at once.

yessssssssssss. loved the SNES games. I gotta admit I’m wary of UFO though. All these Raiden III delays… still a sour taste in my mouth. I’m looking forward to them gaining some stability/credibility with these upcoming releases!
