Another dating sim/fighting game? Atlus is wasting their time, they could be rereleasing games from the 90's, and yet they waste their time on these games.

Hopefully Summon Night III will be a hit, that would be great.

This goes to show that even cat fighting works if given a high enough dose of moe. I look forward to the characters being ported onto Mugen.

Arcana Heart has nothing to do with dating at all. It's in fact a very indepth and complex 2d fighter that just happens to have a all female cast. They don't really even exploit the cast like one would think a game of all females would. In fact some of the characters are a bit boyish and some may mistake them as such.
I wrote up a review if anyone cares to check it out.

Little bit off-topic, but on a quick video game related note, newly released RPG 'Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis' is one of the most outstanding anime-flavored games I've ever played. It's kind of rare I actually have time to sit down with a game anymore outside occasional midnight runs of 'Bioshock', but I fit this title in, and it was a great surprise. Reviews looked a little so-so, but this game really put's on some memorable 'zany anime' humor, and decent RPG play too.

No, but I sure wasn't expecting underaged girls in school uniforms exposing themselves to "fight". The reason I call this game a dating sim is because of the school uniform and the fact that this game has "partial nudity".

I don't know about you, but unless a lady is over the age of 18, I gives me creeps and disgusts me to see these young women degrade themselves.

Re-making Robopon or Orge Battle would have been a much better move for Atlus, but that is simply my option.

A new Orge Battle would be nice.

Arcana Heart is a 2D fighting game(resembling more Guilty Gear than Street Fighter.) You are talking about something like Line-Kill Spirits.I've owned the Japanese Arcana Heart since October,and I haven't seen any nudity in it.

You are quite right, a new Orge Battle would be quite plesant. If you owned the Japanese version, then I am sure you are right on this sitution.

But the way the game looks, one can't but help but think this game is a dating sim or so. In all honesty, I am sure this game isn't as bad as the covers makes the game seem.
