Rival Schools Returns on the Japanese PSN Alongside Mega Man X6

There are good news for those who love classic Capcom franchises, at least if they have a Japanese PSN account.

Capcom is releasing Shiritsu Justice Gakuen: Nekketsu Seisyun Nikki 2 as part of the PSNgame archives series. Nekketsu Seisyun Nikki 2 was the extension of the original Rival Schools: United by Fate, including new characters Ran and Nagare.

And that’s not all, as the publisher will also release Mega Man X6 on the same channel.

Funnily, this isn’t the first time Rival Schools gets name dropped by Capcom in recent times. Both Yoshinori Onoand Dragon’s Dogma Game Director Hideaki Itsuno, expressed their desire to bring the series back.

Thing is, it looks like the writer is confused with the Rival Schools series. It sounds like the person believes this is a release of the second disc that came with part one. The image in the tweet is clearly for Project Justice which was released on the dreamcast, not Rival Schools for PS1 as is pictured in the OP. EITHER WAY! Rival Schools on the PS4!!!!!!!!

So I looked into this more, and it looks like its actually for Disc 2 of Rival Schools. If anyone remembers there were 2 discs with the original release. The second disc was called the "Evolution DIsc".

Rival Schools is a team-oriented 3D fighter featuring an assortment of characters, many recognizable as exaggerations of familiar High School stereotypes. Find a new use for baseball player Shoma's bat or outflank the competition with the fast attacks of cheerleader Tiffany. Harness the violent tendencies of the hyperactive Edge or unleash a precision beating with the quiet, bespectacled Kyosuke.

The main fighting game is best described as a polygonal Marvel vs. Capcom game, with some notable differences. Control wise, the game varies from other Capcom fighting games by only having four buttons (two punches and two kicks, which is closer to the SNK game format) rather than the standard six.

A player chooses a team of two characters, and fights against another two character team. The actual fights, however, are one-on-one fights, with the partner only participating by being called in when a player has enough 'vigor' for a Team Up attack, done by pressing a punch and kick button of the same pressure.

In Japan, Capcom released this version a PlayStation-exclusive update to the original Rival Schools titled Shiritsu Justice Gakuen: Nekketsu Seisyun Nikki 2? . The game featured two additional characters, Ran of Taiyo High School and Nagare of Gorin High School, as well a new version of the Nekketsu Seisyun Nikki school sim mode, which feature additional mini games and further plot developments over the original Japanese version of Shiritsu Justice Gakuen.The game aso features Pocketstation support.
