[Review] Hakuoki: The First English-Language Otome Game (Gaming Dead)

Gaming Dead: "Ah, Valentine’s Day. So sugary-sweet, so commercialized. After all the chocolate, flowers, and jewelry, surely a lot of people are thinking “Why do we put so much emphasis on love and romance on this one day? Shouldn’t your love of someone be shared and celebrated year-round?” Well, yes. Definitely. But historically, Valentine’s Day originated when a guy (that’d be Saint Valentine, though he wasn’t Sainted at the time, obviously) married Roman soldiers to their girlfriends before they went off to war. That was totally forbidden, but hey, the guy was a romantic! And so we have Valentine’s Day.

Will the rumors about Sony and Aksys/Arc System works come true? Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of “buy that compan E”

Darkborn1032d ago (Edited 1032d ago )

I don't think it's real, but it would make sense. Sony did just bought Evo and they have no fighting game of their own yet. Plus they own funimation and crunchyroll, so it would be pretty easy to convince some of those anime to let them make a fighting game along with kodagawa that they are in partnership with to "share ideas and IP".
