All the new characters for the game are being designed by Udon Entertainment and the final title will include extensive online features, including 4-player matches either locally or via Wi-Fi, downloadable content, online rankings, leader boards and detailed player profiles. The game will also include a ticker "news feed," which promises to update anyone playing online whenever any world records are broken via a news ticker across the screen.
We've embedded an ad for the game after the break. If you're sitting in a quiet office, note that it's filled with grunting and screeching.

Wouldn't Pyramid Head just rape and kill all the other contestants.

That's why it should be rated M for "blood, cannabalism, strong sexual themes, and mild nausea from strange and unexplainable athletic games."

Thread over, you won LOL.
But seriously, that ad pretty much sold it for me. (not so much with the grunting but the trademark 'let the games begin!' jingle from the arcade game...)

They should make this for Wiifit so we can run on the pad again.

that video will live on in my nightmares.

Sparkster? You're BACK! Now make a new Rocket Knight game, Konami!

that's quite a big afro on that black man.

Every time I see your avatar I throw up a little.
Jerk Face @ Aug 22nd 2007 1:09PM
I mean that in the most complimentary way, mind you.
Every time I see it I'm all like, "Ugh. Christ that thing is ugly!"
But ugly in a comedic fashion, indeed!

Might be Afro from DDR?

Doesn't the dude in Yellow look like Ken and the dude in the back look like Zangief?

Doesn't the logo look like it says "Konami"?
The Boo @ Aug 22nd 2007 3:53PM
I think I also see Cammy and Guile. I guess this is what all honkeys look like to them.

Pyramid Head in Track and Field? Gold! I'm drawing up a comic for this right this moment (Bio Shock can wait until Friday)!

Wow..the blondie with the big jubblies in the bikini top. Nice.
I'm getting OLD. I remember Track & Field when it was NEW at the arcade...and the battles that ensued. Nothing like smashing those buttons to get your characer to run faster.
Jerk Face @ Aug 22nd 2007 12:59PM
Oh my GOD is that girl hot!
I didn't watch the video and I was really confused by your comment. Glad I did!
Hot damn!

This looks much more compelling then mario and sonic at the olympics
jakfoood @ Aug 22nd 2007 1:33PM
This looks bad. On several levels.
Kaz @ Aug 22nd 2007 1:42PM
Sparkster! WTF! I haven't seen that guy in ages...What ever happen to that series, I love the first two games.
Xeral @ Aug 22nd 2007 1:59PM
Check out the site, looks good.

Everyone in that video looks like their jerkin' it. Very disturbing.
BPM @ Aug 22nd 2007 2:40PM
Please, please, please, please, PLEASE Konami, have Goemon as a playable character. I miss the blue pineapple-headed ninja. :(
Poisoned Al @ Aug 22nd 2007 3:10PM
Sparkster?
*Hopes really hard for more boxing in giant pig robots.*
Ryoga Vee @ Aug 22nd 2007 4:25PM
Why does the black guy have the javelin… hmmm… spear chucker?
Amos @ Aug 23rd 2007 1:49AM
YES! ROCKET KNIGHT ADVENTURES! Haven't thought about that game in years. It was fun. Short though...
Poisoned Al @ Aug 23rd 2007 5:40AM
I don't remember it being any shorter then any of the other games at the time. However it was varied for a game for it's time and type, so it was easy to blast though without getting bored.
Sean @ Aug 23rd 2007 10:38AM
Ken Masters in the front. Also, to his upper-right looks like Vigo from Ghostbusters 2.

What, no Suikoden? Although, there may still be more unlockables in the future. I wonder how good McDohl really is in sports.
