As mentioned in the tweet, this version comes with many improvements, netcode rollback, a training mode against the computer and an aspect ratio of 16:9. Development studio president Takashi Nishiyama spoke about the news:
The Rumble Fish is a very standout game for us at Dimps. We developed it as a 2D fighting video game compatible with Atomiswave arcade system board developed by Sammy Corporation. It may seem timeless compared to current fighting games, but it was enthusiastic work that employed a range of visual expressions within the confines of a nearly 20-year-old system board.
