Aksys is starting their Anime Expo panel now. Siliconera has a liveblog going here. Two titles will be announced and we know from hints that one is a Marvelous game, one is an otome game, and at least one is a PSP game. Get hyped!

Marvelous game is Fate/Extra (PSP), developed by Imageepoch.

Otome game is Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom (PSP), developed by Idea Factory.

Otome? ;_;

Takao · Jul 2, 2011

If XSEED betrayalton me with Dangan Ronpa, I sure hope it's Aksys who brings it back.

Lain · Jul 2, 2011

One should be a PSP game right?

salromano · Jul 2, 2011

Wouldn't they both be Otome games, OP? At least, that's how their Anime Expo newsletter makes it sound.

ULTROS! · Jul 2, 2011

Liveblog is up now:

Could be. I was going by their Siliconera interview where they implied they had a Marvelous-published title in the works, and I'm not aware of any Marvelous-published otome games - not that I'm very familiar with that field.

Wish I could be there, this is by far my favorite genre.

I fully support this post.

As Dangan Ronpa is neither a Marvelous game, nor an otome game, may as well stop hoping right now.

My current guesses are a Hakuouki game and Half-Minute Hero 2, but we shall see.

Ah. I assumed they were just calling their games marvelous. XD

Grimmy · Jul 2, 2011

Can't wait for Half-Minute Hero 2 reveal

rainking187 · Jul 2, 2011

Aksys is putting out another PSP game as well? Wonder what it is.

I know XSEED is at Anime Expo, do they have a panel?

Edit: Whoa, Fate/Extra? Weird pickup.

hosannainexcelsis · Jul 2, 2011

Holy cow, it's Fate/Extra.

Vamphuntr · Jul 2, 2011

lol Fate/Extra

Lain · Jul 2, 2011

AKSYS I LOVE YOU! FUCK YES I LOVE YOU! FATE/EXTRA!

ULTROS! · Jul 2, 2011

First game: Fate/Extra

Grimmy · Jul 2, 2011

WHAT??? Holy! What a surprise!

Kagari · Jul 2, 2011

Takao · Jul 2, 2011

Isn't this the first Imageepoch title to be released in North America? What a weird one to come over...

hosannainexcelsis · Jul 2, 2011

Hakuouki, as expected.

Grimmy · Jul 2, 2011

Funny how NISA made a deal with Imageepoch, but the Imageepoch game that's being localized is from Aksys.

salromano · Jul 2, 2011

Arc Rise Fantasia.

hosannainexcelsis · Jul 2, 2011

Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom coming to PSP.

Takao said:

Nah, we've gotten Luminous Arc 1/2, Sands of Destruction, and Arc Rise Fantasia.

NISA is afraid to bring over PSP games now, didn't you hear?

Takao · Jul 2, 2011

Whoa, Aksys making NISA look like chumps right now.

rainking187 · Jul 2, 2011

So are they both PSP games?

Lain · Jul 2, 2011

So both games are PSP games. Ballsy move from Aksys, but I'll support them 100% on both titles.

Grimmy · Jul 2, 2011

No HMH2

But still, Fate/Extra was a surprise. Hope it turns out well.

Vamphuntr · Jul 2, 2011

Too bad. Nothing interesting for Vamphuntr in there

RurouniZel · Jul 2, 2011

Nice!

HMH2 will be from XSEED if it's announced.

Master Milk · Jul 2, 2011

Is the PSP region locked?

hosannainexcelsis · Jul 2, 2011

Both games will be released retail and PSN and will have special editions.

Kagari · Jul 2, 2011

Master Milk said:

No.

Grimmy · Jul 2, 2011

That would be surprising since they're now working on Corpse Party. I'm still hopeful though...

hosannainexcelsis said:

Wow, even UMD retail? Very gutsy. I hope they are able to break even....

Just UMD video

Games are region-free.

Unknown Soldier · Jul 2, 2011

Since NISA won't do it, I think Aksys should release Black Rock Shooter too.

rainking187 · Jul 2, 2011

hosannainexcelsis said:

I guess that's interesting, I like PSP games, I like Aksys, and I love special editions, but I just honestly have absolutely no interest in either of these games. Sorry guys.

KyteTron · Jul 2, 2011

Hell yes for Fate/Extra.

dakkumauji · Jul 2, 2011

Nice announcements!

Completely unexpected as well.

darkside31337 · Jul 2, 2011

>With enough love anything is possible says James and we love the PSP says Aileen

Those bastards.

Teasing the seacats.

Awesome game announcements though.

hosannainexcelsis · Jul 2, 2011

Q: How dead is the PSP market?

A: With enough love anything is possible and we love the PSP.

And I love you, Aksys.

Solune · Jul 2, 2011

HOLY SHIT YES FATE/EXTRA. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Grimmy · Jul 2, 2011

Aksys has had their hits and misses (ahem, Mimana Iyar Chronicles), but I'm eternally grateful they released Gladiator Begins. Really hope these turn out well.

ULTROS! · Jul 2, 2011

About Arcana Heart3 for 360 - for the most part it couldn't happen. We wanted to do it, James said.

Lain · Jul 2, 2011

Special editions for both games? I'll buy them!

Also, since they love VNs, they love the PSP and they like suiciding, they should have picked up Steins;gate lol.

NISA has the rights to that, since it's an Imageepoch self-published title, so Aksys would have to negotiate with them.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
