Arcana Heart for PS2

Of course it is, as long as it sells so well. :P
Plus, developing a game for the PS2 is definitely much simpler, and involves less expenses, than any PS3 game, so it is convenient for the developers.
Then again, the game is being published by Atlus, a relatively small company without a ton of expenses to spare, especially to spare on fluff like this.
Play-Asia was selling this game for $30 (which was half of what it was usually going for) and I bought it. The VERY NEXT DAY (shortly after my shipping confirmation), I find that Atlus goes and announces it for US release, and for the same price. I was upset and happy at the same time.
Another year, another 'we license it after you import it' deal. Last year was Gundam Musou a.k.a. Dynasty Warriors Gundam, a game I wouldn't have normally bought but I didn't have anything else for the PS3 at the time to play. Then I find out less than a month later that it was coming out not only in English, but on the 360 too. I didn't buy it again.
I had played Arcana Heart before, and it's definitely a worthwhile fighter. The all-girl cast really put me off when I first saw it (I have ingrained moe repellent), but after seeing some gameplay videos and reading some discussion about it--and seeing it for $30 instead of $60--I went ahead and bought it. I like it quite a bit, it's definitely unique. I guess I'll buy it in English so I can really understand what's going on.
Bwaha it looks like something created using Mugen xD Guessing this will make a lot of people feel happy and right at home
The Japanese arcade version has great music for the intro!

Just watch all of the video, the song rules!
The part starting at 31 seconds rules! :p
I'm getting mine later today.
I had it pre-ordered, but my store didn't recieve a copy, so they had to order one in for me. :p
What do you think of the link I just posted?
No Idea, all I know is this game sucks.
Traded it in about 2 hours after I bought it :(
Atlus shouldn't be allowed to make any more fighting games.
^Care to elaborate a bit more?
1) For most of the characters, their attacks are rather redundant. In example, the little girl bent on world domination. All of her attacks are a slime forming fists and feet punching things. The chick with a sword does virtually nothing but sword slashes. Ect, ect.
2) There really aren't all that many moves for a fighting game. Around 8 moves a character.
3) Even with the Arcana's, the characters playstyle doesn't change all that much. So you basically have 11 characters only, with limited customablity compared to what they make it sound.
4) There really isn't anything new about this game, making it just some lame, uneventful fighter.
Hmm,i see.:cry:Oh well,it will probably never be released in Europe (PAL) so maybe it's not that big of a loss...
