How many copies did Atlus’ previous collaboration with Vanillaware sell worldwide?

Vanillaware’s game was number 15 on the top 20 selling games from October 2011 sales chart.

While these PlayStation 2 Classics do not have any extra features like trophies or enhanced graphics, PS2 Classics just $9.99 each.

Sony is putting niche third-party titles like Odin Sphere, GrimGrimoire, Maximo: Ghosts to Glory, Ring of Red, and God Hand in their own section titled “rare classic games.”

Atlus may be dabbling with Norse mythology again. In Japan, they filed a trademark for Gungnir, the name of Odin’s spear, for use with video games.

You don’t even have to play Princess Crown to witness the profound effect the Sega Saturn (and Playstation Portable) title has had on its spiritual successor Odin Sphere. While the games tend to have different feels while playing (for example:…

A side-scrolling brawler featuring 2D sprites.  Same old, same old, right? WRONG! Vanillaware’s latest PS2 game, Odin Sphere is anything but ordinary.  On paper, it sounds like your run of the mill beat-em-up with light RPG elements, but in practice it took my breath away. Sure, it’s the same old story about Valkyries and King [...]

I’ve been lucky enough to play Odin Sphere a few weeks before the game is officially released in North America and so far it’s been fantastic. When you start Odin Sphere you’re in a library where a little girl reads books with each character’s story. The first book available is “Valkyrie” where you play as [...]

In just one week (two for North America) Odin Sphere is going to be on store shelves. Contrary to popular belief Odin Sphere is a 2D action game, similar to Final Fight but with RPG elements and this video demonstrates how the game plays. After you defeat your enemies they release glowing pink psyphers that [...]

Odin Sphere looks fantastic, but other than the eye candy there is little information about the meat of the game. We’re so close to the game’s worldwide release in May and I had to find out more about it since so many readers expressed interest in it. So I contacted Atlus with a few questions [...]

Atlus sent an e-mail with Odin Sphere’s release date, May 22nd for North America, which is only five days after the game’s release in a Japan. Another surprise is the US version of Odin Sphere gives players choice on what language they want to hear voiceovers. You can select the new English voices or stick [...]

Something that was missing in all of the other Odin Sphere videos was gameplay footage. The new US trailer answers the question and Odin Sphere plays like a 2D side scrolling action game. See the brilliant looking footage past the break and if visit the official site to pick up some wallpapers and download a [...]

Atlus opened up the official US site for Odin Sphere today and there are a bunch of new screens of the five main characters: Gwendolyn, Cornellus, Mercedes, Oswald and Velvet. The art still looks amazing, but none of the shots show how the game plays.    

Yesterday, I was watching this trailer of Odin Sphere, an RPG developed by Vanillaware who made Princess Crown for the Saturn. Today, I get an e-mail confirming from Atlus USA that it is coming out late this spring for the Playstation 2! Odin Sphere begins with a war between the fairies of Ringford and warriors [...]
