SteamFirst: I’m going to level with you here: Fly System’s Magical Battle Festa does not make a good first impression when going in cold. This 3D arena based one-on-one fighter initially seems like the mano y mano brawls that were shoe horned into some of the Dynasty Warriors games.
A couple of new titles have been announced from way over seas as game developers Fly System and Yokogo Systems have confirmed a new title each - Magical Battle Festa and Rev Ersi Quest, respectively.
Starting with Magical Battle Festa, the hack and slash title will see a team of magical girls who have formed a support unit called the "Madou machine".
Was kinda hoping for some regular non indie titles. Would love to see more Japanese games on Xbox even if ms has to pay them for brining it since Japan sales are low.
I hope these do okay or they were paid a lot. These poor things were sent to die.
I hope Phil bring great JRPGs for next year as Blue Dragon, The Lost Odyssey among others ...
Guess what? Nobody will buy. I feel very sorry for those devs. Hope they manage to break the contract with M$ and start to develop games for Nintendo and/or Sony.
They hit states side their mine , but to say no one will buy them is a bit much
Because no one will buy? You're telepath by chance. Non is because the Xbox is American people will no longer buy Japanese games, see you grow not everyone lives in his alienated world of Sony.
congratulate, xbox gamers in Japan, and I hope these are not coming to PS4 too soon.
Depends on how they do and if the developer is happy with the results. I remember one game that came to the Xbox One and wasn't suppose to come to PS4, but due to low sales he release it to the PS4 also.
you know, when im thinking about xbox brand, "magical girl" (no, yennefer doesnt count)must be somewhere along the last thing coming to mind.
I agree they do but I do think Microsoft will look to hit this market next year rather than this year. If you look at how Phil is running the Xbox decision now he showed off the big name games at e3 that sell very well in the us. Gears, halo, Forza etc and saved some of the games that should sell better to the European markets like quantum break, crack down etc. I think Japan will be the last market they look to push in this gen as I do think it is a bit of a dead market for the Xbox one at this moment in time and if they can get back the USA and uk from Sony and start to sell better in Europe I think they will then look to try in Japan because if anyone can pull it off over there it would be Phil.

Arena fighting games struggle in a modern age where the standard is the smash hit we all know about. There have been many contenders to the throne from both AAA factories and indie shops alike, and many provide stellar enjoyment. Enter Magical Battle Festa, an arena-based fighting game that’s not just about magical girls.
Magical Battle Festa comes to North America from fly-system and localized by Playism. Set in the far future when science has finally released the magical energy within humans and appropriately dubbed it ‘magic,’ monsters now roam the world and mages from all over compete in a tournament to be chosen as Earth’s defenders.
Indie Statik writes: "Rarely is Comiket ever covered by the gaming media, and it’s a real shame because there are some indie games mixed up with all the cosplay and manga that are worthy of our attention. The fair takes place in Tokyo, and its cause is to celebrate self-published manga, primarily. But this essence carries through to different media types that show up to flaunt themselves; it’s all part of a big trade in what is essentially indie creations. Games are part of that."
