Boomstick: And Pocky & Rocky, the Miko Girl and her raccoon friend.

Here are the first screenshots for the new game.(music: Pokemon HeartGold & SoulSilver: Kimono Girl Theme) It also shows both on-screen at once with their own health gauges, special bars, and scores, which suggests cooperative multiplayer will be a part of this installment. Screenshots show both Pocky (Sayo-chan) and Rocky (Manuke) as playable characters. The new Pocky & Rocky game will be a 16-bit shooter, just like previous games. We also have a better idea of how it will play. We don’t know what that will entail, but the Tengo Project game will appear in some capacity between September 23-27, 2020. Most importantly, it will be at the 2020 Tokyo Game Show. In addition to a release window, other details were confirmed. The western announcement didn’t mention platforms, however. Now Natsume and NatsumeAtari confirmed the title, which has the tentative name Pocky & Rocky 2021 in the west, will appear outside Japan as well in 2021. The new Weekly Famitsu confirmed that Kiki Kaikai: Kuro Mantle no Nazo is heading to the Nintendo Switch in Japan, which Ryokutya2089 shared.

The new Pocky & Rocky game will be appearing worldwide.
