Are you retarded? BlazBlue did extremely well in Japan, and did much better than expected in America (10X the predicted sales). Maybe you should learn the facts before talking out of your ass. It makes you look like a moron.
sorry, I thought I remembered reading an article of games that should have sold well but didn't and that BlazBlue was on there. Maybe it was in a specific region.
BB sold around a million copies or something like that (maybe more), also, the game is one of the top 3 more popular arcade games on japan, get your facts right for the next time
if i remember well, what i read was that BB sold aproximately 1.2 million copies between ps3 & x360, in any case, games that didnt sell well considering what they expected were kofxii and tekken 6
@Antiemokid5 It sold well but it was below the usual expectations that the series does. Even Namco admitted, the game did below what they wanted. The home port wasn't that good so it isn't surprising.
Has nothing to do with people sick of seeing Tekken games. The port was half-assed. The graphics were a bit below the arcade, both players couldn't use their customs offline, online was mediocre to bad, the game was setup to force players to slog through scenario mode to get money (since it can't be earned quickly by simply playing versus matches like arcade). Scenario mode itself is a glorified Tekken Force mode, etc. Just so much lacking.
why is battle fantasia and overture 2 in x-box (microsoft) instead of nintendo or sony, which are japanese companies. There isn't much japanese games oriented players on 360 anyways.
If you ask me, the expensive PS3 (which I own, and still have zero games for) aren't japanese oriented all that much anymore, unlike how PS2 was. I really go for the Japanese types of RPGs that the Xbox 360 has.
Maybe in Japan Xbox360 is doing better than the original Xbox. Although, there still aren't much players that fill up the Overture online play. Especially compared to what the US types slashers and shooters get. Phantasy Star Universe is doing well though.
It's really nice, already played it, really worth the money ! if you like guilty gear, i think you'll like this game as a nice addition to your collection =) I am not an internet salesman. :P
These character designs are so fucking retarded. Seriously, a catgirl waitress against a flaming reaper with a sword... did they just poll a 5th grade classroom for character suggestions and design the results? That really seems like the case here.
It's coming to North America don't worry. I imported it thogh. Alot of it is in english, and it'll play on your American PS3. I import alot of games, but I'm quite fluent in Japanese, so I love it!
Yeah, kinda sucks that they didn't multiplatform it because I only have a PS3, you'd figure if it's multiplatform in Japan, why not here? Oh well, maybe they'll decide to bring it to PS3 at some later date.

who else thinks this and the BB backgrounds are test runs for the 3d engine for the final Guilty Gear?

Me. I agree. Surely if ArcSys and Sammy are planning a GGXXX, they'll probably do it like Battle Fantasia's 3D, and way better hopefully.
By the way...
If anyone has this game and wants to play it (competitively) online, my PSN is Jona-Youme. I'm in IL and I have over 12mbps connection speed.
I'm learning to play it and I like it so far, I think this game can have a competitive scene.

Great game, I still prefer BlazBlue though.
BattleFantasia is designed for those starting with 2D Versus games. Easy commands and short combos (with the exception of a couple of characters).
Also has nice GFX, charismatic characters and a pretty good OST.
The downside is the lack of characters or secrets. Seems this one was dispatched too quickly.

AKSYS is the publisher
Arc System Works is the Developer of BF, BB, & GG; as for getting a sequel, its very improbable since the game wasnt popular enough

Maybe I was confusing BB with KOFXII
Which is weird since both are very different.

@Hecatom Tekken 6 didn't sell well? I find that hard to believe being that the series has a reputation for selling well.
