This and Hi-Fi Rush bringing back the aggressive, colourful style of games is great.

I haven't played the game so I don't know the full story, but it's actually kind of appropriate that Bomb Rush Cyberfunk's story is about identity and playing as a character who is essentially "borrowing" the body of another person. Put JGR/JSRF in the place of Faux and BRC in the place of Red and the story takes on a new meta-narrative. JSRF got "decapitated" and Tryce (who represents Team Reptile) gives JSRF a new "head" in the form of BRC. JSRF went from a weird, quirky game from the now legendary sixth console generation and itself became a legend. BRC struggles with its identity because it knows that it's always going to be compared to JSRF.

JSRF has been my favorite game since it came out 20 years ago, nothing beats the feeling I still get from playing it. Can't wait for this to finish installing fr

I CANNOT wait. I listen to the JSRF OST all the time and have such fond memories of that game. I am so glad they put in great effort in this game instead of just capitalizing on nostalgia. Easiest buy

Ain't no way this year has even more good releases. I SWEAR 2023...

[VGMobster]

I need this game physically on switch!

The second review I see suggesting that Hideki Naganuma did the soundtrack for this game. I think it's important to emphasize that that's not true. He composed two songs. That's it. Everything else was done by different artists with no input from Naganuma.

Im so happy BRC is finally here! As a huge fan of JSR and JSRF, ive been waiting 20 years for a new game with JSR vibes

I’m so excited for this game. Wish it had coop or multiplayer of some kind

I'm surprised there wasn't a mention of Jet Set Radio Future. A lot of the aspects that weren't present in Jet Set Radio were in Future and some of those aspects were carried over to Bomb Rush. Even the main antagonist feels like a mix of Beat and Akuumu. It feels like Team Reptile took aspects and inspiration from EVERY entry in the Jet Series. Which to me feels like true love and passion. Pull EVERYTHING you can, leave the bad, and add something great of your own and you make something Beautiful. Can't wait to play. I'm waiting to see if the Xbox/Playstation versions have cool achievements/trophies I can go for. If None, than I'll get it on my switch.

Hey Retro Rebound! I just wanted to leave a comment here. Your reviews of Retro Games really helped me looking for more physical games I want to collect. Particularly PSP and PS Vita since I just ordered both after looking at tons of videos with recommendations and reviews. I was stunned at how much I missed out. I always ignored them and highly regret it to be quite honest. Luckily I already made a list of which games to order and acquired 10+ at this moment. I wished I would have realised sooner that DLC's and all that stuff partly vanished already on Vita, PSP and PS3. Luckily I was able to get everything on 3DS I wanted before it was too late. I love collecting and having things completed. For the future I make sure to buy all PS4, PS5 and Switch games I want physically with all their DLC's to not face this issue again and being able to utilize my consoles to their fullest. Every console I have will be used. They all will have a bunch of games. I make sure of that (this retro stuff really has gotten in my head too much...). Very kind regards here :)

I really can’t wait to play this Game! Like this Games has the Dreamcast/JSR aesthetic down to a T

The old heads are combo and corn and the robot teacher from jsrf

[James-gjrn]

JACK DA FUNK is one hell of a funky beat, Naganuma-san has still got it :)

[GuccïBodyBagsIV]

Literally bought this without seeing any reviews cause i knew i was gonna like it as soon as i saw the announcement trailer yet, haven't played yet, its installing right now actually

[FittedWhisper]

2:59 I legit busted out laughing at that part😭

[kingsolosound]

Even though it's only in the video for a few minutes, the new background is doing wonders to the quality of the video.

[CheckOutMyPokemons]

Oh man I'm so happy with this review. Ive been keeping a close eye on this and we've only been teased a little. Can't wait to get home now!

[justinsaitta]

I get the biggest nostalgia high from JSRF and it still holds up perfectly to this day. Truly appreciative that the community is still alive

I insta-bought the deluxe edition... I wanted the soundtrack lol, but also characters from Lethal League Blaze is a cool extra touch.
