    Already heard about this and I am already psyched. If you have a japanese PSN account, you can play the demo.

    Eh, from what I heard, X-Edge turned out to be a pretty mediocre game.

      From what I heard only the demo is out.

        It released in Japan last September.

          why would only the demo be available on the Japanese Playstation store?

          Btw, don't forget that the Japanese view games very differently than the western nations. It probably will be average but it's not logical to base you opinion on review from the Japanese audience.

          I agree, best play it yourself and not just brush it off from what you heard.

        Seriously? Then Super Robot Taisen, Jump Ultimate Stars, Namco X Capcom, and Sunday X Magazine needs to come over here now.

    This technically isn't a first. For the PS3, maybe - if you can't play a PS2 game on there, but this was similarly done with "Namco x Capcom", which compiled Capcom and Namco (durr) characters into a... mediocre RPG.


    In any case, second time's a charm, right?\


    Also, don't forget about Sunrise World War.

      They may have announced the game for Japan a year ago but this is about the North American localization by NIS America.

    Have any of you even seen screenshots of this game? It's like a 2d sidescrolling beat-em-up game.

    The concept sounded awesome...until I recognized only two names from that list. Still gonna check it out. I'm itching for a good RPG after finishing Valky.

    I wasn't really planning on buying it, though I did enjoy the Demo.

    Depends on the price a bit, and what sort of pre-order/special order bonuses there are (Rosenqueen Co I'll have to go to that around early May)
