Yay or neigh?Cygames revealed Umamusume Pretty Derby: Nekketsu Hachamecha Dai Kasha-sai as part of Japan?s Nintendo Direct yesterday, but there was little indication of its release plans. The publisher has now confirmed (https://youtu.be/M8SzQG-VLjU) that the game will be coming to North America as Umamusume: Pretty Derby ? Party Dash.
The pixel art visuals are cute, but what grabbed my attention is the obvious nods to the Nekketsu/Kunio-Kun series. There are four events in this party Grand Prix: Hurtling Hurdles, Blazing Baskets, Dodgeball Demolition, and Gourmet Gauntlet. Alliterations are fun. Three of those events bear a resemblance to games in the Kunio-Kun series. In particular, the Blazing Baskets game has three nets stacked on top of each other, which was part of Nekketsu Street Basket (https://www.destructoid.com/hit-the-courts-with-your-fists-and-slam-a-dunk-on-the-top-net-with-nekketsu-street-basket/).

Homage aside, it?s definitely not just a straight copy. There are a lot of new things mixed in with these games, like turning someone into a penguin for some reason. Collectibles of some sort are on the playing field. It looks like all events are a free-for-all. There actually isn?t a whole lot to go on in this press release, but I think the trailer speaks for itself.
We?re promised a ?star-studded cast of Umamusume to play as.? I don?t know what that means beyond them being horse girls. I?m going to be honest with you, I know nothing about Umamusume. This is actually the first time I?ve heard of it. I do watch anime from time to time, but it?s part of a very sparse likelihood that I?ll watch a TV show at all. This trailer doesn?t really get me interested in the show, but the game looks fun.
Umamusume: Pretty Derby ? Party Dash is coming to PS4, Switch, and PC sometime in 2024.
