Much of the former Fill-in-Cafe staff is apparently now part of 5pb. Phantom Breaker is an upcoming (as of this writing) 2D fighting game for the Xbox 360, developed and published by 5pb. It bears many strong gameplay, thematic and graphical similarities to the Asuka 120% series, enough to be considered a spiritual sequel. There is a demo of the game currently available on the Japanese Xbox Marketplace.
