Arcana CRACK 3 - Weekly netplay ranbats!

I’m so up for this. AH3 is shaping up to be very nice. There were a lot of dissapointments at TGS this year but not Arcana. lol

Still not sure if I wanna get the AH3 special edition. I want the concept book but not the pins.

so is the censored caution tape in retail version?

Combo Help 2011

i don’t understand this game, every time i press homing button i just get the ps3 menu???

Awesome, we finally got a release date.

EX Super Saving time.

PV aired during the press event yesterday

It will probably go up on Japanese PSN/XBL soon as well

Nice PV, glad to see the sidebar characters more up close in it. I definitely wanna get the special edition, I am loving those pins.

Just saw this posted on Twitter…

Aksys poll

pretty much explains itself. AH3 already has a lead and for once i’m not voting for a shump to be picked up.

holy shit we need to flood that with melty

voted, if it helps that the game got released on usa, im fine with it

if they dont want to translate the game, they can always go with the BF route and make AH3 a DLC game for psn

Only if Ecole announces a current-gen port of AACC.

A fan poll or some shit? shrug, voted anyways.

it cant make any harm

Fixed!

I definitely want to try out the game with the borders, only on story mode that is :tup:

i didnt posted xbla since if i uderstand well, they dont have rules against games being on japanese plus im not sure if they still have problems with the size of the games that are allowed :coffee:

oh Aksys should definitely localize it, at least on PSN Store for North America!

To anyone who followed the stream yesterday: when and in what order did they play the top-4 for the games?

I’d like to know approx. when the AH3 top-4 will be played so that if I buy the stream, I can at least catch those matches.

4Gamer first-hand impressions at TGS + photos

As for the whole Aksys poll… I think people should just get a PS3 and import AH3. Localization release, even if it happened, won’t be for probably another year.

Give the other two 360 exclusive games a chance instead, imo.

EDIT: I noticed there are 24 pins, one of them covered by a sticker with Heart saying ‘Don’t look!’ It’s quite possible that there might be a new character in the home console port.

EDIT 2: The Link Animation on the sidebars seems like they can be turned off, replaced by still portraits of characters.

Is that a special edition box I see there? Or just some display?

I think it’s a 50/50 here. Since Cave is now starting to unlock their future shumps for the 360 so it’s not as hard to worry about trying to get them localized. Though any of the 3 games works for me. I plan to get AH3 for PS3 anyway.

Cave isn’t unlocking their shmups. That was just Mushihime-sama Futari 1.5 and regular edition of Espgaluda 2. Asada at Cave made it clear that all upcoming titles will be region locked several months ago. Deathsmiles 2X released back in April was region locked, and that’s how Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu coming out in November will be as well.

I’m just speaking in realistic terms. It’s not as if voting for Aksys to localize AH3 will make the game come out in the U.S. in matter of months. I own a Japanese Xbox 360, so I will be buying for both versions anyway, but I really don’t see the point in voting for something that won’t necessarily help the American scene when the game is launched. The PS3 is region free, and already the tournament-standard console here. If people really care about how this game will do in the U.S. (and perhaps the chance of being featured at Evo 2011), they should import the PS3 version and buy a PS3 if don’t already own one and contribute to the U.S. scene to be active as early as possible. Simple as that.

Would it be a bad thing for AH3 to be localized by Aksys? No, not at all. That would be great if anything. But all things considered, I honestly think people should let the region-locked 360 exclusives take the cake for voting.
