Peach Beach Splash is the name of a mysterious water gun tournament from the ancient days in the world of the shinboi. The game disregards entirely the series’ standpoints of good shinobi and bad shinobi, and their special abilities as shinobi are disabled as victory can only be attained through the use of water guns.
Weapons include dual pistols, Gatling guns, sniper rifles, and various other types of water guns. You can also set cards that grant these weapons skills and special ability effects.
Battles are five-on-five team-based fights using water guns. There is online multiplayer in addition to a story mode, and the game will feature over 30 names, plus α (Editor’s note: I’m not sure what this is referring to.) The series’ mainstay finishing techniques will also appear further enhanced in Peach Beach Splash.
