Inspired by the SNK fighting games on the Neo Geo Pocket, Cardboard Robot Games's Kickstarter game Pocket Rumble should appeal to fans of brawlers the world over.

Pocket Rumble is even drawing comparison with Street Fighter in terms of gameplay style. Yep, there are unique characters with their own mechanics here.

There are some major differences between Pocket Rumble and Capcom's brawling behemoth, though. For one thing, Pocket Rumble boasts intentionally simplified controls and graphics (to fit in with the 8-bit aesthetic).

It also features Kick from Divekick and Geiger from Fantasy Strike. You know, just in case you needed even more reason to back this Kickstarter game.

Pocket Rumble was brought to our attention after a 3DS release stretch goal was added to its Kickstarter page. Unfortunately, the campaign only has four days left to run, and Cardboard Robot is still some way off its funding target.

Maybe all it needs is an uppercut of exposure, though. So, if you're keen to get behind this particular campaign, spread the word and pledge what you can.

Hopefully, that $26,000 required for the 3DS version will be donated in no time.
