Those of you who read my review of Arcana Heart for the PlayStation 2 earlier today might have been a bit flummoxed when calling your local purveyor of fine video games, as the female fighting game is nowhere to be seen. This is due to a last minute shipping delay, which Atlus assures us is due to "brief delays" and "heart palpitations." *snicker* The game should now be shipping on the 10th of this month, hopefully arriving in game stores on Friday unless the retailers pull that whole "non-AAA titles don't need no next day air" bull they like to play.

Mr. Fahey be straight with us. Its delayed becuase you stole the master disc right? ;D
heh, you know your current gen console is struggling when developers decide do develop on your last platform over your current one.
it doesn't hurt to support the best selling console in video game history (surpassing the Gameboy + GBC) with 120 million sold.
@Kickinstuff13: When the game is destined to suck, and be for only hipsters that think anime cartoons are still cool, they can put it on NES for all I care, it doesn't reflect on any console.
You suck.
@Kickinstuff13: Pretty sure the game first came out to Arcades in 2006.
I'll probably be getting this, eventually. Still have to play through NGBC and Melty Blood first.
Oh well, at least this delay will give me the weekend to really enjoy it. (still would have liked it on release day but I can wait)
@Kickinstuff13: Unsucsessful troll.
@Keanu: Unsuccessful grammar -_-
I have to admit, I was surprised to find out NGBC sold either 124k or 130k copies. Hopefully this does just as well, I want to see AH2 come stateside.
It's delayed because they're too busy laughing at that preview video you created.
@Keanu: Unsuccessful spelling, actually :P
So do all of you guys waiting to buy this game have arcade sticks?
@Mike Fahey: Will you be reviewing Baroque as well?
@ForwardInReverse: Didn't Baroque come out, like, 2 years ago? I'm pretty sure there are already tons of reviews for it.
@ABigSmall: Na, the joysticks I've seen cost a pretty penny. I'm ok with the PS2 controller for this game.
@Polywhirl: Or maybe I'm getting it mixed up with another game. Sorry if I am.
@Pezdispenser: Actually I did get a message from Atlus PR, tellig me the marketing department said I had no skills. *snifflee*
@arstal: Oh yes. Six new characters, the end boss of AH as the end boss's Arcana. So nifty.
@ForwardInReverse: Oh no. I might pick it up for personal use. The new review system is lovely and all, but sometimes I need to play a game just to enjoy playing it. ;)
;-;@Polywhirl:
I believe you are, as I've never heard of Baroque until recently.
Also, I am DEEPLY hurt by this news, as I was gonna pick it up at work tomorrow and enjoy beating up lolis as other lolis or barely non-lolis D:
Wow, I fail at commenting so hard <_<.
The ;-; is at the wrong spot.
@ABigSmall: I have a few of the Street Fighter sticks (one of them is broken). So, to answer your question, I do!
And I can't wait for this. Moreso because it's all girls and anime style 2d...I collect fighting games, and it's weird because I don't own a single Tekken...more of a 2d girl than 3d.
@Polywhirl: from what I've read, the first one came out around 10 years ago on the sega saturn. then it was ported to the ps a few years later, but there hasn't been another port until the recent ones on the ps2 and the wii
Hmm...Atlus ya know I love you? So europe release? pweety pwease? Th
@Mike Fahey: but but how will we know if Baroque is good or not!! I ONLY TRUST YO TO DELIEVER A VERDICT!
I'm filled with great sadness ... I will drag my heavy heart through the week until the game arrives. Oh, the cruel fates ... I was getting out of work early tomorrow, so I thought I'd have a bunch of time to play it.
@Polywhirl: I think the Saturn version came out years ago ... Atlus released a PS2 and Wii version today.
Let's hope this is only a two day thing and Atlus doesn't do what SNK usually does with 2D fighter releases in the US. How many times did KOF XI and NGBC get delayed?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Ah well. Least it isn't Persona 3 FES...yet. But still, it STINGS USSSSS.
@All the haters: All I know is I've never been a playstation fan. But looking across the way from my xbox, I saw the playstation 2 and the success it was having. So when the ps3 came out, I was like, what the heck, I'll get this thing. I have never wasted money in such a way on such a useless thing...
wish this came out on the Wii.
D:
Yes I got my hopes crushed yesterday when I went out looking for this. Though I did pick up Baroque so not all is lost but it still hurts.
