[Soul Beat]

Me and my giftcard are ready. Bring it on already!

We're only gonna get two copies at my store. I'm ready to brawl for it!

 

[fates]

Just 2 copies? Uh oh... I was under the impression that this first run wasn't actually a very small run, I thought it was gonna be a normal print run but with all the goodies only for this first pressing.

I'm sure it will be, but they'll probably scale the first run for demand. I have no idea how hard people are pre-ordering this thing, but I can't imagine the numbers are that high.

 

[justchris]

Well, got mine preordered, so I'm good.

 

[GeekyDad]

Any source on this? Seems weird they'd release it at the beginning of August, over a MONTH after the game's release, especially since EU already has it.

[Midnight Moon]

I thought Vita would be cheap by now, guess I gotta cancel Muramasa Rebirth since I want this game too. :<

Cover looks decent if I say do myself

 

[fates]

Preordered mine back in February as soon as it popped up. Just ordered another for my younger bro. He loves Megaman, Devil May Cry, SF and Tekken so I think he'll get a kick out of this game.

 

[MisterLuffy]

The game comes out a week from tomorrow. Can the days go any faster? XD

 

[cj_iwakura]

I always thought Saya being a party member was a spoiler thing even when you count EF.

Well when you factor in the minority that knows who Saya IS, the amount surprised by that and/or that care about it as a spoiler becomes extremely nil.

 

[GeekyDad]

Yeah, I think the "Supports" title for the Capcom line-up just needs to be moved up a couple, right above Arthur/Lady. I can see why some folks are confused.

 

[Teknoman]

I still cant wrap my mind around how that woman from God Eater fights with a top like that

 

[Het_Nkik]

Seriously though, I'm really mad about the Sega lineup in this game. I don't know most the peeps outside of Virtua Fighter, Ulala, John McClain, and sort of the RoF cast (have the game, haven't played it ).

But human (they seem to by shying away from non-humans in this game for some reason) characters from ANY of the following games would have been preferred:

Streets of Rage
Skies of Arcadia
Golden Axe
Jet Set Radio
Shenmue
Yakuza
Phantasy Star
House of the Dead (though I guess they got the Zombie Revenge spin-off dude I don't even recognize)

Sega dropping that ball.

 

[Boss Doggie]

It's actually a "reverse" Namco X Capcom as far as roster goes. While in NxC everyone was an arcade character, this one has everyone being modern characters.

 

[fates]

Boob magic, I guess.

Carefully.

Our store doesn't really get many games, especially these kinds of games. So I'm sure other stores will get a lot more copies...hopefully anyway.

My local Gamestop got just three copies of Virtue's Last Reward at launch. It's a decently busy suburb, and not a major city, so maybe that factors in.

See, the problem here is that you don't know that Sakura Wars was a huge franchise over there, and I greatly emphasize was. Quite frankly, Sakura Wars characters being in the same game as SRW characters and in a game developed by SRW and ex-SRW devs is nothing short of hilarious and extremely ironic.

 

[ohlawd]

dem armpits. Yay for retail.

 

[Lindsay]

Oh wows this is next week already?? 17 -> 25 feel much further apart then that!! Now I'm getting pumped!!

 

[Boss Doggie]

MMX and Sakura Wars are considered modern now?

I meant "in most broad sense"

 

[FYC]

Well I did it, bought my friends old 3DS just for this game.

Hype. Guess I'll try my brothers collection in the meantime.

 

[i-Jest]

WOW I literally just found out this is being localized. I'm so happy.

I don't even have a 3DS and I'm buying this. Maybe I'll borrow my brothers or something, I don't know. Looks amazing, I love crossovers / fanservice and most importantly DANTEEEEEE!!!

Hold me GAF. It's too beautiful. The sprites are gorgeous. The music is awesome. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH FIRST DAY ONE GAME IN FOREVER

Good OT

When I saw the teaser X chromosome images I was skeptical. When I saw that OG Dante made the roster I was happy. When I played the demo I was convinced to get the game. I look at that Youtube video and now I'm on that pre-order band wagon.

If you've never had a DS before, you may want to dive into older DS games while you're at it. The original DS library is full of gems.

Super Robot Wars: Endless Frontier plays a lot like Project X Zone, so that might be worth popping in.

 

[Bladenic]

Ugh mad about missing a Newegg promo that gave you 6 bucks off this game.

Oh well, $40 bucks ain't bad considering the huge amount of stuff you get, so I'm okay with it (I guess).

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Ordered it like a month ago on Amazon, can't wait to press random buttons and win the game.

 

[Pikma]

I want this so bad<3

 

[ExitPlanetDust]

Going to put down some cash for a pre-order tonight when I get off work.

Add: Taking Jill.

 

[Loona]

Speaking of ordering from Amazon, are 3DSs from the UK compatible with the rest of Europe?
I know the 3DS is region locked, which made the propect of importing the game pre-locaclization troublesome, but I don't know if there's some division between the UK and the continent...

Should be. There are only 3 different regions for the 3DS as far as I know. NA, EU, and JP.

 

[ExitPlanetDust]

Preordered.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

I know the game is a little repetitive but who cares, right? It's pure fan service.

I love the anime cel-shaded drawings.

 

[Anbec7]

Aren't all games repetitive in some way?

Also preordered Can't wait!

 

[demidar]

I'd probably love all this fanservice if I knew even half the characters. I got missing spots all across the Sega and Namco lineup besides the most exposed characters.

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Great OT

And thank you for listing the characters and what series they come from, that's a nice touch

 

[A Human Becoming]

I'm interested to see how appealing this game ends up being outside the fan service.

 

[BlackJace]

I'm interested to see how appealing this game ends up being outside the fan service.

Would be interesting if it outsells the JP versions.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Would be interesting if it outsells the JP versions.

I think that's easy to do, and I bet it will.

Heck, I think that's half the reason we got it here, so the developers could try to recoup the costs after it bombed there.

 

[fatgamecat]

Everyone pretty much knows what to expect here, no surprises. It's a fanservice heavy game with long and sometimes repetitive strategy and fight mini-games.

If that sounds like your cup of tea then go for it.

 

[FrontalMonk]

Nobody told me Sanger Zonvolt was in this!

I AM THE SWORD THAT SMITES EVIL!

Oh man. ohhhhmanohmanohman.

 

[MisterLuffy]

I'm claiming Haken Browning.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Tried the demo. Really liked it! Had no idea what I was doing but was still fun. Even though its in English it felt like I was playing a Japanese import game! When I played Ryu/Ken and that music came on it brought a huge nerdy smile to my face!

Anyway, that Valkyrie blonde girl. She had a huge role in Namco x Capcom, right? So supports, do they have a big role in this series as far as story/dialogue goes or are they more like cameos?

I read in this game Valkyrie's story ties in with the Valkyria Chronicles characters', and one of the stages takes place in Zouna's pyramid, which is from her series, so even if assist characters are sadly limited gameplay-wise, they can still carry some weight in the story.

 

[Hours Left]

Come to me.

 

[Avallon]

This game cannot come soon enough. Fuck.

Sounds good! Looks like every character may have some story to them. Sounds fun!

Huge might be an exaggeration, but an entire level is about her, and she is VERY powerful.
