Translation of an interview with Watanabe Kenji, the main Digimon designer since the initial v-pets till now, and As’maria, who was mainly in charge of some X-antibody Digimon designs; the original interview can be seen here, together with the pictures which are important to look at along with the interview!!

…It’s an interview with the guys that greatly shaped my life till now, I’m really really happy that Famitsu decided to do this interview ;_;

Translation under the cut!

Dear Chosen Children/Digidestined/whatever name you go by,

I’m sure that, after yesterday’s announcement, many of you went wild celebrating/sobbing/screaming/babbling/shirt ripping maybe, maybe you did all of the above.

Attention Digi-fans!

There are few fan bases as passionate as Digimon’s. The fans’ campaigns haven’t gone unnoticed, and we’re truly amazed by the amount of support they continuously show to their favorite series. We couldn’t be more thankful. We’re very excited to announce today DIGIMON All-Star Rumble! We hope fans will enjoy this brand new adventure in the Digital World, sure to be highly nostalgic and full of familiar faces like Agumon, Gabumon and many others.

In DIGIMON All-Star Rumble the Digital World enjoys a time of restored peace after overcoming numerous wars and crises. However, Digimon must battle to Digivolve, so the restless Digimon propose to hold their first ever “Digimon Evolution Tournament” to determine who is the strongest of them all. In the vivaciously competitive tournament, up to four players will be able to select from a roster of 12 popular base Digimon characters and play as a total of 32 Digimon forms pulled from every Digimon series ranging from Digimon Adventure to Digimon Fusion. Players control these digital monsters and battle for supremacy in the main Versus Battle mode that players of all skill levels will be able to pick up and enjoy.

By powering up in battle, players can Digivolve into a much more powerful form, creating a unique combat atmosphere where players must balance attacking and simultaneously attempt to Digivolve and gain the upper hand. Utilizing special techniques during matches such as activating a Digimon’s “Evolution” power-up along with employing an aggressive attack or defensive strategy will provide colorful and exciting party-arena gameplay so that Digimon fans of all ages can face-off against rivals and become a true Digimon hero!
