While a few titles made it West (like Kenka Banchou: Badass Rumble on PSP), many remained trapped on Japanese store shelves and digital marketplaces. One of the most intriguing and unfortunate cases is Kenka Banchou Bros. Tokyo Battle Royale – a PlayStation Vita (and later mobile) title that brought together a massive crossover cast. Thanks to a dedicated team of fan translators, an English patch is finally giving this chaotic love letter to Banchou culture the audience it deserves.
