This game's been rated now. It's rated T.

Yet another reason why I love Atlus.

Atlus is really doing his best for the good old ps2, and I have to say they are becoming my favorite developers along with Konami, Capcom, NIS and Squere Enix. With Baroque and Persona 3 FES coming along they surprised me with even this!? Thumb up!

I'm gonna try my best to avoid missing out on this.(I'm a guy.)

This game is going to be great! Atlus has already proven that they can't make bad games. It's no wonder people praise Persona 3! I've never played that particular title though. But again. Atlus has already proven that they can't make bad games.

I can't wait! I'm willing to save money ahead of time for this.

Who saw that coming!?!?!!?!?!!?!?!!?!?

........ZOMBIE DANCE!!!!!!!!!! XD XD

wow! i'm going to get this game! now next up P3 Fes.. pls atlus we need P3 Fes!!!

Looks Interesting

thank you atlus. i will buy this. next up P3 FES, right? right?

they should have melty blood...
or EFZ if it ever came out on console

shiny. looks like fun

YAY!! Old school gaming goodness. This will make up for me missing otu on Gal Fighter for my NGPC all those years ago

@ Gantz666

No, actually the fighting system is WAY deeper in Arcana Hearts; as you are able to customize your characters based on the Arcana you select for them. Melty Blood is a VERY Fun game, but if you look closely it doesn't have anything innovating at all.

@ others...

I understand from many comments that people at NA (which I'm not) will consider this an "otaku" game. Although the obvious attempt to appeal the masses with an All-female cast of fighters, this game does not contain that much of a "Fanservice" people would think by just seeing this without actually playing the game in depth.

Gameplay-wise is very fun and great. It would be a shame to not give it a try just because of how it looks.

I saw this on sale at NCSX a while ago and thought it looked interesting. Probably won't be mind blowingly great, but for a budget price, I may pick it up. Thanks Atlus! you guys are awesome.

YES!!!!

YESSSSSSS!!!!!

Thank you, Atlus. I love you.

I'd rather see a US port of Metly Blood AC. Fighting system is way deeper in that game, plus the character design is a whole lot better

ive played this game a few times, and its decent just for casual plays. But i can't take it as a serious fighter, to many chain attacks, and its a tipical dojo fighter.

Christ, gamespot, will you stop with the 'clever' headlines?!

Would not touch with a stick.

Very very generic otaku fighter.

Atlus ftw.

Good news indeed! I was going to go ahead and pick up the import version but it looks like my inherent laziness has paid off for once.

An all-girl fighting game?! It's like DOA, only more girls & in 2D! Can't wait to play this. Saw this discounted on Play-Asia. Heard this was a great game.

Where's the PS3?

Thought so.

Looks cool, me like.
(I lol'd at the picture's caption)

NA market has never really been "ready" for fighters like these. It's more or less for the niche. But what the heck, I like fighters.
Arcana Heart is one of the better recent fighters. Though Arc Sys seems to have something new.

Finally! A few buddies of mine and I been playing the arcade version for quite a while.

oooook

I saw this game for sale on Play-Asia a while back and while it looked like a decent fighter, I didn't really expect Atlus would be localizing it and bringing it over to America. Then again, this is the same company which has given the country eclectic games about female ninjas and snowboarding a la Mario Kart, so it ought not to be terribly surprising in retrospect. I like to support the underdogs in gaming, though, so if Arcana Heart gets good reviews, I'll be sure to give it a whirl.

Leave it to Atlus to bring something like that over here.

I can't wait to see more on it.

Lol After destroying japan, it evilly invade the US, next on the way! Europe and in the final blow, China!

Hooray!

*read the news* all right, another atlus game!!! i wonder what?
*see the game* :-l what the....

Can't wait anymore to get this one! I hope more publishers were able to take this kind of risks, Sega, Capcom or Namco to name some of them.

I really like Atlus and their games. They usually incorporate such original concepts and awesome artwork. Also, games from Atlus usually don't depreciate as quick as others. They really need to jump onto the next-gen train though!

Even though the US market isn't ready for this (probably never will anyway), it's great to see Atlus bring this stuff over!

looks alright

man this game is broken.... but it brings the crowd every friday night lol.
we brought the entire naomi system. China Town NYC..... come thorugh.... we got GGXXAC too.

I'll wait for the reviews of this.

Awesome.

Rather have Melty Blood or Eternal Fighter Zero.

Man Atlus just keeps bringing the games this year.

i'm getting this.

Haha, I don't think we're ready for this. I've played it though, fun game.

I'm all for 2D fighting games and if it is a good one, all the better. Bring it on!

It's a really good game. Though I don't know if the NA market is actually ready for this.
