The Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble ultimate itinerary

The goal in Atlus’ latest PSP release, Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble, is to prove you are the ultimate high school bancho badass by beating up all of the other high schools’ banchos before the seven day school trip ends. But, you have to find the banchos before you can beat them up. This can be accomplished by beating up their underlings on the streets to collect school itineraries. Once you have an itinerary, you know exactly where you have to be to take the bosses down.

The thing is, itineraries can be quite difficult to find. You never know where you’ll find the right minions, and there’s a very real possibility that you’ll find the itinerary you need after the boss is no longer available in Kyouto.

That’s where Gamertell’s ultimate Kenka Bancho itinerary comes in. I’ve gone through and collected all the itineraries so you don’t have to. You’ll still have to actually be at the right place at the right time, but at least you don’t have to beat up meaningless minions first…

Gamertell Preview: Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble for PSP

Atlus and Spike’s Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble may not be in stores until November 10, 2009, but Gamertell’s been given the opportunity to test drive the latest quirky PSP game you never would have expected to see localized. To help get you introduced to banchosity and the badass world of the game, I’ll take you through the first day of Takashi Sakamoto’s class trip to Kyouto, Japan.

The game begins with some character customization. You determine where your character is from 47 different areas in Japan, what school he attends and what his name is. I went with the default name, Takashi Sakamoto, and decided to make him from Osaka.

One thing I want to point out right away are the loading screens. Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble has some really amazing loading screens. Instead of saying the typical “loading” message, each loading screen offers a “Bancho 101″ informational term explanation. Like, you could learn the definition of kappa, love hotel, sakura mochi and other terms, people or things that may pop up in the game…
