    Oops, I had forgotten Arcana Heart was coming out. I should probably wait til a company here announces it so it gets a massive price drop like last time haha.

    That's some beautiful boxart. I hope they make it look at least as good here.

    Please confirm whether or not they'll keep JPN VA in your next interview/QA.

    I wonder if I should get Arcana Heart 2. I got decent at the first one, but man… it's a bit embarrassing to play with other people. That said, it's a solid fighter that gets much faster-paced as you learn the combos. Initially, my friend and I had a ton of time-up battles, now, we finish in 15 seconds. /diatribe

    I'm not much of an importer, so I'll have to wait on Muramasa. Can't wait to hear impressions though.

    Hopefully Arcana Heart 2 will come to the US. The first game was pretty fun, even though I suck horribly at it.

    Why is it embarassing? DOA is way worse than arcana heart anyone who can't see that its a deep fighter is tupid
