son of a bitch, where's the poll data!
Delayed so I can rejigger it all to put Annie in last place.
How does this Nesica system work?
This is HUGE news for Skullgirls. I had hopes for an arcade release over here, but I didn't even think getting on the NESICA system was a possibility.
The Nesica cabinets are fantastic because they store dozens of games on them, making them a good value for arcades. Persona 4: Arena and BlazBlue get a ton of love on our local machines, and it's fantastic because we can just switch back and forth with no problem. If I remember correctly, Aquapazza and Arcana Heart 3 are also on the system, along with a dozen shooters and such.
If Skullgirls makes use of the NESICA card, the game has a chance to be massive. Console-only fighting games have small scenes here, but the ones that hit the arcade are pretty much guaranteed to live on, provided they're at least pretty good.
My fingers are crossed for you guys. This is the chance of lifetime, and that's ignoring the accomplishment of being a western developer with a game in Japanese arcades!
The card in question:
There are dozens of different designs, but one card works for every game on the NESICA system provided they support its use. You use the card to access/unlock colors, spend digital currency you earn through VS matches etc. It's a fantastic system and one of the reasons arcades here are so great.
Every time I hear or see a Japanese person talk about what they like about the game they always mention they like its, "distinctly western cartoon visuals." Paraphrased of course.Impressive to see such a distinctively Western game make it to Japanese arcades.
Wait a minute.

They are also adding kof climax at the same time!!! Anyone know when it's supposed to happen?
what's the point? they have much more superior games over there.
I wonder if the Japanese get the FFXI reference.
Oh great, another one of those OH NOTHING CAN TOP GLORIOUS HOLY NIPPON! THE MOTHERLAND OF SUPERIOR GAMES BECAUSE THEY ARE DISTINCTLY JAPONESE!
How about NO.

If you say western fighting games are bad, you are pretty much saying you think Skullgirls and the games Netherrealms make are bad. Of the two, I only like Skullgirls. Any deeper than that and you dive into the trash heap.
you are diving into the trash heapAmerica has had it's share of good fighting games. Primal Rage was pretty decent once you got used to its combo system. Killer Instinct was mashing good fun with depth. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 had some chops. Mortal Kombat 2 was a good representation of the fun of frame counting and mastering the ninja kicks.
Japan isn't the only one that can make good fighting games. It always reminds me of some anime nerd saying only the motherland of Japan can produce good fighting games. Anyone can make good games in any genre. Not just Japan.

Hmmmm, I've seen some P4A cabinets here in France.Is absolutely impossible to see any NESiCA game outside Japan: It's a network system who works ONLY in Japan and you cannot buy the cabinet/PCB, Taito uses a monthy rent system and 30% of every credit is for Taito.
That's pretty awesome news. Interested to see what Japan thinks of the game.
You are even going as far as to name Primal Rage? Dumpster diving.
Well, the game has been out on the Japanese PSN for a while now and was consistently in the top 10 for good long while after release.That's pretty awesome news. Interested to see what Japan thinks of the game.

The card system doesn't work, of course, but the game does.
It's already doing well on JP PSN. It sold more in the first two weeks than Cyberfront expected it to sell in its lifetime, and was on the JP PSN Top 10 for a few months.
And all the reviews I've seen have all been really positive, praising the gameplay and the visuals.
The only complaint I've seen so far is that the story mode is a little cheap, which... well, it is. But it's a $15 game.

Are you sure they are not console mods?
Is this arcade version going to happen before or after the DLC gets implemented?
I wouldn't know about P4U, but we do have BBCSEX and it's like that too. Console mod was the one UMvC3 we had there for a while.
Definitely interesting because even Arcade owners in the US are trying to hack NESiCAxLive without good results, what Arcade do you visit? it is famous in France?
For arcade operators, Nesica lets them hold multiple games in a single cabinet. Customers can just press a button to switch games. The Nesica IC card stores data for all supported titles too.
Random Mexican arcade actually. Still, to be honest it was more like an update to CSII. I'm not saying that because that's what Extend was, I'm saying it because the fucking title screen and opening animation literally still says CSII but it has all of the Extend content.

Wait, SBO is dead? I know there were a lot of problems with how last year's event went, but I didn't know it got shuttered afterwards.Too bad SBO is dead. Maybe could have been the first western game on there.
