Set in a high school this time (though you still gets to take the girls to shopping malls nearby…), Kenka Bancho 4 features an arrogant Yuta whose sole purpose of entering the school is to beat Akutsu, the most feared and respected gangster around. But time is not on Yuta’s side as Akutsu is about to graduate in a year’s time and he must battles hundreds of gangster wannabes before the final showdown. Publisher Spike announced on the official website today that the fight will starts on February 25th in Japan.

Really happy to see Fushigi no Dungeon Fuurai no Shiren 3 Portable being announced, I’m a big fans of the artworks being produced for the game and the idea that dying means all the way back to Level 1 sounds intriguing :) Chunsoft put up the official website of the dungeon crawler with some basic info and the new stuff that the PSP version is getting. They are six new original dungeons, online support (not quite sure what’s in there beside online ranking), readjusted game balance and data install for faster loading. The release date is January 28th in Japan.

Kenka Banchou 3: Zenkoku Seiha sold surprisingly well last year and a sequel was quickly announced for Japan. (I have the Japanese version of the game but still yet to play it… :( Famitsu has the first screens of the fourth game and naturally they are looking very similar to the previous game. You are a new student who want to be number 1 in everything and troubles start when you found out that Akutsu is the being called the strongest student in the school… More screens after the jump.
