Atlus wants you to name their upcoming PSP brawler photo

Kenka Bancho 3 is a brawler for the PSP that Atlus just secured the publishing rights for, scheduled for release in 2010. In it, you play as a high school student on a class trip to a Japanese city. Fighting breaks out, hilarity ensues. That's great -- no issues here. The issue is the name: it might not go over so well here in America.

Because of this, Atlus looks to their fans for a better name than Kenka Bancho 3. They've set up a page to tell you a bit about the game and the original name, and then let you pick a new name. It's multiple choice, and one of the choices was "badass." I picked that one, naturally.

That's great that Atlus is letting us pick a name. It would have been chaos if they simply let us suggest one. I suggest Kenka Kancho 3. No?

@Avalon51 I was thinking that EXACT same thing.

In the end I went with the obvious choice. Badass. Because naming your game BADASS is. . . amazing.

I don't know what this game is but I voted for "badass" just because it'd be badass to name a game that

Seriously though, naming a game BADASS, would be hella cool.

One of the employees admitted on their forums that one of the names they tossed out was "Dueling Banchos". I would have voted for that in a heartbeat.

@Gen - That probably woulda been my choice too.

I'm glad Atlus have picked this up, and hopefully we'll get the previous two PS2 games in the series later.

I vote for Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble. This is better, as it keeps the original name for the purist fans, and the added english adds a better description.

Another PSP game to add to my list.

Badass is the only correct name. Anything else is null and void.

I hope the localization for this game is as awesome as Tokyo Beatdown.

I <3 Atlas.
I chose Badass but Badass Rumble is just as sweetness.
Just make a new Summon Night Swordcraft Story & Atlus will epitomize awesomeness like no other.

They should just go with Atlus: Shooter. I mean, that's what they're going to pick anyway.
