The above is a look at some of the mecha “horse” bikes, the Hound VX Yaksha and the Red Fang Mk 2. To give you a better idea on how the battles work, check out this trailer for the game:     As you can see in the video, there seems to be some sort of mashing feature with the A, B, and X buttons for the first battle, followed by another one that requires timing the A button along a meter.   Accel Knights 2: Full Throttle will release on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS on July 30, 2014 in Japan. Siliconera reached out to ArtePiazza for comment on whether the game will be made available in the West, to which they replied: “We’ve not announced it for outside of Japan yet. We’d like to concentrate on the launch for Japan first and see how the game is received before committing to US/Europe.”
