Oh wow, I almost thought the game was cancelled or something, still my most anticipated psp game this year.

 

[Hours Left]

I'm hoping we get some news on this game soon. I am really looking forward to it.

 

[ShogunDarius]

I must admit this game does seem different and I kinda want to try it

 

[Squire]

Doesn't summer end in like mid-September or something?

Last day is September 20

Spoiler

(My birthday! ^_^)

So yeah. Could be waiting a while.

 

[MidnightRain]

Hopefully, we'll get some more information this week since Aksys is going to Anime Expo and Friday is Otome day.

 

[Hours Left]

So was anyone at the Anime Expo?

Was there any Sweet Fuse stuff at all?

They showed a trailer and still said coming soon.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Amazon was saying August for me.

 

[Squire]

Amazon was saying August for me.

Yeah, just checked and they moved it up. Was late September, now it's August 27.

That's a Tuesday, so most likely it's a final date.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Just seems odd if it is why they haven't just announced it. Maybe a case of just not being 100% on it.

Better to wait and be sure than to last minute give a delay.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Yeah thats about it. I told Akselsys I was looking forward to it when I went to the booth after the panel.

 

[dakkumauji]

I guess it's coming out in August

Aksys has two otome games lined up for release very soon. First up is Sweet Fuse: At Your Side, which takes place in an amusement park on lockdown after Count Hogstein holds the guests hostage. You play as Saki Inafune, the niece of Mega Man creator and now Comcept CEO Keiji Inafune, who is trapped in the theme park. Keiji Inafune is a key character in the game too. Sweet Fuse will be available this August. For more about Sweet Fuse, read this chat we had with Ben Bateman from Aksys.

Hakuoki: Memories of the Shinsengumi is scheduled to come out in September. This is a 3DS version of the PSP game with new side stories and a photo booth app so you can take pictures with the Hakuoki guys.

Both games will be released as retail titles and since PSP releases have slowed down we wonder will Sweet Fuse: At Your Side be one of the last (if not the last?) retail PSP game.

 

[Jarod McChicken]

Coming August 27th and it will also be available in Europe on the PlayStation Network.

Wonder why Aksys can release this on the EU Store but not with Muramasa Rebirth :-(

Nice, did they mention the price? $20?

 

[Jarod McChicken]

No price on the press release, but it's 29,99$ on Amazon. There is a little preorder bonus actually.

All fans pre-ordering Sweet Fuse: At Your Side at Amazon.com will receive the limited-edition Count Hogstein necklace featuring the conniving pig’s skull insignia! This collector’s item will only be available while supplies last, so be sure to pre-order Sweet Fuse: At Your Side Today!

 

[Hours Left]

Sweet. (Heh.)

The official web site has been updated too. Now I have some stuff to use for the OT.

are there any pictures of the necklace floating around?

 

[Hours Left]

So much pressure...

Well, my amazing MS Paint skills will surely get the job done. I do have a pretty awesome OT title in mind though, one that will hopefully attract lots of Gaffers.

 

[Kagari]

August release... I needs it.

 

[Akselziys]

I'm super excited for it to release

We hope you all enjoy the ride

It's on PSN for NA, too, right?

 

[Wazzy]

Yessssss! I've been waiting for this for a while but there was no updates so I thought it wasn't coming. I'll be there day 1 when it's released.

 

[Akselziys]

It's on PSN for NA, too, right?

Yup, both retail and digital in the US

 

[InfiniteNine]

Yup, both retail and digital in the US

Going to have to rebuy on PSN after I get the physical in! I still need to do that for Hakuouki. xP

 

[Squire]

Yup, both retail and digital in the US

Excellent

 

[Clov]

I can't wait to pick this game up, it seems so silly! The art is great, too.

 

[Dark Schala]

Hmm, looks like I might have to order from the States again.

Won't get it until September but I want the preorder bonus for the novelty of it.

 

[dakkumauji]

Definitely looking forward to getting it on PSN.

 

[Necrovex]

Just saw this thread....I wasn't planning on buying any games next month (renting everything I want), but it seems like I will be purchasing a VN on day one! This is confirmed to on the PSN right? My Vita needs some love.

Nothing for gamestop? The one time I preorder from there...

No LE type thing either? Just the plain ol' box & game?

 

[Tizoc]

I'm super excited for it to release

We hope you all enjoy the ride

I think I will your localizations are very good and entertaining. If you don't mind me asking, what's the price of the digital PSN version in US? ...and how big will the game be on PSN? 500 MB, 1 GB?

They'll be very lucky to sell out of the first print as-is.

 

[MrGummy]

My sister will be hyped about this

 

[ultimatebestusername]

Can't wait to play this on vita. It's amazing how well psp games hold up on that OLED (if only nintendo decided to make the 3DS screen resolution a perfect multiple of the DS like sony did with the vita).

 

[Tizoc]

Didn't they do with a recent update to the 3DS?

 

[InfiniteNine]

Didn't they do with a recent update to the 3DS?

No, it's pretty much impossible to do that since the screens max res is 800 × 240.

 

[ultimatebestusername]

Didn't they do with a recent update to the 3DS?

What I meant was that psp games look far better on vita than ds games look on 3ds due to the vita's screen resolution being a perfect multiple of the psp's (960*544 vs 480*272).

 

[flatearthpandas]

Just me or does the main character look kind of like Io from Devil Survivor 2?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Yup, both retail and digital in the US

Is this the final retail PSP game in North America?

 

[frequency]

Akselziys, is the pre-order bonus only on Amazon.com?

It would be nice if it was available in Canada too, but if not I guess I'll have to import. I would like to know so I know if I should wait for Amazon.ca or just pre-order at Amazon.com now and pay that stupid shipping.

 

[Delusibeta]

Knowing Aksys, don't put your money on it.

 

[Azriell]

I've been dying to play Virtue's Last Reward forever. Then I get a Vita for my birthday (out of nowhere), and PS+, and all of a sudden I find myself with a free copy when I had been emotionally preparing myself to spend some ridiculous amount on amazon. I just got to my first ending, and I'm definitely down for Sweet Fuse. I need to go back and pick up 999 again. I got distracted previously and didn't get very far in.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

Hell no, I want a LE of Fate/Extra CCC

 

[cj_iwakura]

I think hope is lost for CCC, unless they want to regain the good will lost at ComicCon...

English screens. New thread worthy?

I really suggest you finish 999 first.

I strongly suggest finishing 999 before playing anymore VLR.
