Sega has mostly been playing it safe this year with their slate of 3DS classics and the yearly Sonic the Hedgehog game. Their biggest risk is either releasing Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f in North America or developing Hero Bank.
Siliconera: "Kaito Gosho is so flat broke that we guess he’ll do anything to earn a nickel. We now have word that to tie in with the game, there will be an animation for it airing on TV Tokyo starting April, the spring season of anime."
Siliconera: "I suspect the fact that it’s fast approaching dead winter means everyone is looking for something to warm them up. Even in the feast-or-famine world of Sega’s Hero Bank, where money does all the talking, fighting, punching and special moves. Kaito Gosho needs to ensure he keeps his spirits up, since the kid’s got a one billion yen debt to pay off that practically forces him to enroll in the ranks of the virtual wrestling world of Hero Bank."
"Are you ready for a new RPG from Sega involving money, school kids and butt kicking?
Hero Bank is a new RPG from Sega that is being touted as a “battle life RPG” revolving around gaining copious amounts of money. In the game, the main character, Kaito Gosho, somehow gets into enormous debt in the tune of one billion yen. In order to pay off his debt, he enters into the Hero Battle, a cyber sport where participants fight against each other and can gain cold hard cash. Throughout the game, you have the chance to use a variety of heroes in the Hero Battle who can give Kaito better chances at defeating increasingly difficult enemies. For the first time publicly, Sega showed off their latest RPG at TGS this year, and while the presentation is pleasant, the controls are problematic.", writes NintendoWorldReport.
