   It's a simplified fighter with impressive depth, GGPO netcode, effective tutorials and more. It even has frame data and hitboxes in trainingIt's a simplified fighter with impressive depth, GGPO netcode, effective tutorials and more. It even has frame data and hitboxes in training mode. The style is unique and clean, with plenty of homages to classic fighting game characters. You can turn off the scanlines entirely if you don't like them. This is perfect for the Switch in particular thanks to the simple controls, great for jumping into for a couple rounds. For the price, I can't see any fighting game fan not liking this… Expand

   Excellent re-imagining of a classic. Consider this the fighting game for those tired of getting out-skilled in larger titles like StreetExcellent re-imagining of a classic. Consider this the fighting game for those tired of getting out-skilled in larger titles like Street Fighter. The focus is on mastery of 3-4 skills and kick-punch combo's/range. So just like a fighting tutorial the whole objective is mastery of the hit box.
   
   A great pick up and play title - but pro's should be wary of meat-on-the-bone here. Its a light fighter, competitive play is going to be riddled with inconsistency. This means everybody has a better chance of winning, but also that skill won't take you as far.
   
   8/10 - well worth the price tag.… Expand

There are quite a few game modes. I really like the "Easy to learn, hard to master" types of fighting games, and this is no exception. I really like the presentation, the simple controls are great, and it's just really addicting to duke it out. Overall, it's not as good as something like Super Smash Bros., but for being what it's trying to be, it's really nice.… Expand

   An amazing game with great pixel art and graphics - so it definitely will win the heart of most people. On the other hand, there is no varietyAn amazing game with great pixel art and graphics - so it definitely will win the heart of most people. On the other hand, there is no variety with that pixel art. Basically, with only 8 characters, the game gets boring fast. If you're with a friend - great! it'll be fun for 5 rounds and you'll be sick after trying every character. If you wish to master a character it does take some time and garners some replayability.
   I do have to tip my hat to the gameplay. It is ridiculously satisfying and fun the first times once you know what you're doing and the person you're playing with is on your level.… Expand

   Pocket Rumble looks great and really does emulate the style and substance of fighting games from the Neo Geo Pocket. Where it fails is anPocket Rumble looks great and really does emulate the style and substance of fighting games from the Neo Geo Pocket. Where it fails is an absolutely unforgiving difficulty and lack of approachability. There is a training / tutorial mode, but it is poorly implemented and offers stunted, obtuse instruction in even basic techniques. Opponents in Arcade Mode are so ruthless, novices will likely fail to get past even the first opponent. PR is aimed exclusively at top-tier fighting game fans, which is a shame, because with some adjustments to the AI and at least one or two variable difficulty levels, it could be a fighting game for everyone.… Expand

   after that, I feel like they are much better fighting games out there than this or if you still think the pocket rumble look interesting just wait until the game is on sale.… Expand
