This Week In Imports: Rise Of Arc Rise Fantasia

By Spencer . June 1, 2009 . 12:23am

Unless you count language training software for the Nintendo DS it’s a really light week for Japan. There’s Arc Rise Fantasia and Evangelion: Jo, a 3D Evangelion game. Marvelous picked a nearly open release date for their original Wii RPG.

In North America things are a bit more busy with Knights in the Nightmare, Fuel, and Final Fantasy IV: The After Years debuting on WiiWare.

Arc Rise Fantasia will come out here later this year so you don’t have to import it, but if you’re thinking about snagging it early there’s a bunch of Play-Asia coupon codes at the bottom of the post.

I get the feeling FFVII hits the PSN this week...so, I dunno. Don't count my gut feeling.

Volcynika

Fuck yes, KNIGHTS IN THE NIGHTMARE. Also looking forward to seeing if any of the Siliconera staff gets Arc Rise, wanna hear some impressions!

Spencer and Louise are gonna be at E3 this week, so you'll probably see Spencer cover it after he's back from the craziness (Unless Jenni is planning on covering it). And I've got Steal Princess on my hands so that'll be my next playtest.

Cool, thanks for that. I've wanted to find out more about Steal Princess, but there's not a whole lot out there...

Ishaan

Hehe, we're all about stuff other sites wouldn't normally care about. That comes at a cost (mostly site traffic as you guys already probably figure), but it helps us retain our identity. :)

Actually, we covered Steal Princess long before Atlus announced it. Here's some impressions from the Japanese version:

I think I'm importing this too, but I don't know if PlayAsia or YesAsia would guarantee the pre-order bonus. When in doubt, I always check w/ the NCSX guys, even though they're a little more expensive sometimes..
