• Aksys Games to release Arcana Heart 3 for North America

    It seems our friends over at Aksys Games have managed to secure publishing rights to a North American version of Examu's flagship loli-fighter series, Arcana Heart 3. While the game content may raise a few brows by Western standards, there's no denying that the game is damn fun to play, and we like playing fun games, right?

    PS3 only so far; no word on a 360 version yet.

    Torrance, CA (Februrary 14th, 2010) – Aksys Games, a publisher of interactive entertainment products, is proud to announce that the fighting game Arcana Heart 3 will be coming to the PlayStationŽNetwork this Spring. Arcana Heart 3 combines fast-paced aerial action with a unique cast for an extraordinary fighting experience never before seen in North America!

      Now I feel like an ass for importing it. Ah well.

      While I agree that a ps3 only release is dumb (I think most of us already imported). It's a good game, so hopefully a few people who thought $80+ was too steep will try it now.

      Last I checked, XBLA still had the filesize limit for downloadable games.

      I still wish that Arcana Heart 2 could come over here first...and yes, I know it was a broken port, but Aksys has ported games to different systems in the past, and those turned out fine. Plus there's now just a big hole in the story, and yes, I play fighting games for their story, too...otherwise, the characters are just bland fighters with no real history, personality or motivation.

      Battle Fantasia you can download on xbox live for 20 bucks and it is charged by real money not Microsoft points. So it can be released on xbox games on demand. I have both system and i do not use my ps3 that much so this will give it some usage. I was cheap and did not want to spend 80 bucks for a game.

      This is by far the most comprehensive English wiki for Arcana Heart 3.
