“Is Japan getting a re-release with the bugs fixed?”

There’s no way of telling for sure, since this announcement from Aksys only makes mention of the American release getting bug fixes. They have nothing to do with the import version anyway, that’s out of their hands. Arc System Works published Guilty Gear XX Accent Core in Japan, and as of now, there hasn’t been any press releases about a future revision in the future other than a open apology for those who bought the game.

Although there’s still the Wii port coming out in Japan on July 26, 2007, if they know what’s good for them, a rerelease of the PS2 version wouldn’t hurt either. They already stated that the future Wii release will have the bug fixes corrected but leaving the original port unaltered would only help to stir up bad blood between Arc System Works and the consumers.

I know I’d be more reluctant to buy one of their products if I knew there was a chance it would be bud-riddled with no proper revision in sight.

It’s a relief to hear that Aksys is indeed taking the time to properly perform bug fixes on the Western release of Guilty Gear XX Accent Core. I still can’t help but wonder if this includes Japan as well at some point for a future rerelease of the game. After all, I know I’d be pretty steamed if I were living in Japan, purchased XX Accent Core only to find out that its bug-riddled with no future revision in sight.

Not that it really matters at this point in time, I’m waiting for the American PS2 release. Now if only Aksys could give a concrete release date.

Aksys says at their main website that will fix the glitches.

“We just wanted to let everyone know that all the bugs found in the Japanese version of Guilty Gear XX Accent Core will be fixed for the American version. So hopefully everyone’s worries will be put to rest.”

Cool! This is really a good deal for fighting fans. I can finally as A.B.A. without the sucky controls
