Saint Seiya: Soldier's Soul (Steam, PS4, PS3)

[TekkamanArk]

It will be out in Fall 2015. It was announced at an event in Milan, Italy, so there's a high chance that it will leave Japan. Now, I just have to hope it actually comes to the US.

Aren't all Steam releases guaranteed to come out in US? Unless you mean the console version.

Don't have any strong feelings for Seiya, but it's nice to see a new 1v1 3D fighter.

I kind of associate Saint Seiya with the Sega Master System, because it's one of those things from Japan that never gained any traction in the US, but garnered a huge following in parts of Europe and Central/South America.

 

It's guaranteed that this will get a Euro release on consoles. If it makes it to the States, they'll be doing it primarily for markets south of the border, not for the Yanks.

 

Is Dimps developing again?

[TekkamanArk]

I didn't see Dimps listed in the credits. And, i'm not worried about it making it to Europe, that was never a question to anyone, or if it will make it to South America. I'm wanting it to make it here to the US, where I live, so I don't have to go out of my way to import Europe's version, because I want to see this series gain some traction here (Brave Soldiers was never going to do the job as a digitial-only release, no one cares about digital-only releases too much).

 

The Master System was released in the US? I had the Sega Genesis, which was the Master Drive I believe, but I never saw a Master System here at all.

[TAI-X]

The Master System was definitely released in the US, but like I said, almost no one here gave a crap about it. The NES completely drowned it out.

 

Its Japanese equivalent, the Sega Mark III, didn't fare so well either. It was a big deal in Brazil and some European countries, though. Sega licensed it out to Tec Toy in Brazil, who were apparently very successful at marketing it there - there were still new Master System games trickling out to the Brazilian market until 1997(!), though they were all Game Gear ports at that point.

 

I believe Yu Yu Hakusho also had an unusually strong following in Brazil. They even got the only localization of the Genesis fighting game.

So, Saint Seiya Soldiers' Soul confirmed for US now?

"

• Coming to PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC/Steam Fall 2015 in the Americas. 
• Featuring the Twelve Zodiac: Temples arc and battles against Hades."

Will get on Steam if it cheap. Haven't heard many good things about the other 2 games though.

[TekkamanArk]

Looks like they are trying to make it a more legit fighter? The game will have Japanese, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese voiceovers, with English text options being the only concession for English speakers. Oh well though, at least i'll be able to play the game and have appropriate text like Brave Soldiers. I don't truthfully blame them for not doing English voices since they only released the game digitally here in the US last time, so they are easing themselves in I guess, but it does still suck that the option isn't there. Japanese voices for me then!

DAME TU FUERZA, PEGASO!

I expected it would, but, this game covers the old Asgard arc as well
