This actually makes sense. Sony has always seemed to have a thing against 2D games. This is the reason the Xbox received ports of a lot of 2D fighters in the US while PS2 versions never left Japan. The only reason we are getting all these sweet SNK discs is because Sony supposedly has lifted a lot of the rules governing the PS2 in the US.

It’s not Aksys that’s the problem right now fokes. Sony is the one that isn’t approving the game. I talked to Aksys reps at their booth when they were demoing off battle fantasia, ggxx:O and blazblue.

Goto sony’s blog and tell them you want battle fantasia to come over to the US.

That sucks. I was really looking forward to this game too. Figures it would be on the only next gen system I don’t have.

Sucks for us PS3 owners….I’m hating that this “console war” is turning into a money hat competition, (un) fortunately for us, Sony isn’t playing MS’s game.

I’ve played the demo from the PSN, and while charming, it was a bit clunky for my tastes….never the less, if this game came to the PS3, I would’ve bought it just to support Aksys.

I hope BlazBlue doesn’t suffer the same fate as this one.

Then it’s exclusivity.

No, no this has nothing to do with Xseed! I can promise that!

Either Spencer is hinting at an exclusivity deal between Microsoft and Aksys, or it might have something to do with XSeed’s secret announcement. Though that wouldn’t make sense, but we’ve all seen stranger things right?

Why not? Does the 360 not have any hardcore gamers?

@ Daizyujin

It sounds like Spencer is trying to hint that there may be some kind of exclusivity deal between Microsoft and Aksys. That’s the only way I can see it ” not being Aksys’ fault there isn’t going to be a PS3 version”. Why Microsoft would care enough about this game is beyond me, though.
