A bone has been thrown: Code of Princess has online play photo

Last time I wrote about Code of Princess, I used my infinite wisdom to determine and declare that the game needed online play if were to stand a chance at being a big hit. Looks like the game's developers read my post, as they have now announced that the game will have online play. Amazing that they were able to implement such a complex feature so quickly!

Also, last time i wrote about the game, someone got sad at me for not mentioning that the game is being developed by some of the team who created Treasure's Guardian Heroes. Don't be sad at me guys! I wish I knew everything about every game all the time, but I don't! I am only a man.

Now we just need to wait and see if the game will leave Japan. Wouldn't it be a kick in the balls if European and American 3DS owners got Steel Diver and Combat of the Giants: Dinosaurs 3D and not a awesome looking online co-op RPG-lite beat 'em up about purple zombie lady in a "<3 Milk <3" scarf getting fights with hordes of grumpy cyborg skeletons?

Please don't kick my balls, Agatsuma Entertainment! Avoid the whole ball area if you wouldn't mind!

This is awesome none of my friends would probably get this, but I could probably find some Dtoiders to play this online with. Please make it to the states.

The 3DS really is much better imported. Too bad the yen has been so strong lately...

I was with you until you called out Steel Diver, that game's fantastic.

@ Laharl-KOTNW - I liked Steel Diver just fine, but you have to admit, that wasn't exactly what most people wanted in a $40 title.

It's not a slight at Steel Diver as a game. It was a slight at the folks who decide what games are localized. Code of Princess has a lot better chance of finding and audience among the 3DS's install base than Steel Diver did.

I agree it should have been cheaper. The game may be short, but it takes a while for 100% completion. I understood your point, It's just that I have soft spot for that game lol.

Is the nun lady playable? This is something I've been wondering for awhile.
It just doesn't seem to make sense to make a kick ass nun character in a video game and leave her unplayable.

Also, and I might be wrong, but I remember hearing that all the dev team members of Guardian Heroes are making this, not just some.

Also Also, what is Guardian Heroes?
Never mind. TO GOOGLE!!

@Gold
I want a Japanese 3ds too. >.<;

I'd say just leave it to Aksys and ask if they want to do it. It's got a really easy advertising campaign that's right in line with all their other games.

And if you don't know Guardian Heroes, go buy the HD port on XBL. It is most definitely the best XBLA of all of last year.

I'm optimistic that alot of these awesome looking Japanese 3DS games will make it over. Because a bunch of really great Japanese games made it over to the original DS. However I'm starting to get the feeling that in order to full appreciate the 3DS you have to get a Japanese system. I really want Project Mirai, and I doubt that game will make it out of Japan so I think at some point I'm going to have to buy a Japanese 3DS too.

I always look at steel diver and wonder Wtf its about or what you do. I love the ocean, love subs, but all the negative reviews and word of mouth turned me off. Someone turn me on. To the game. Or give me a boner, win/win in my book.

This game doesn't look very good. I don't mean the game play, which looks like a good time, but the art? God no. The battle nun is fine, but the bard and zombie characters look balls to the walls stupid.
Look at the guitar, it is an acoustic flying V with a keyboard on one side, and an axes on the other. He also looks like a gay fairy dressed him, which is admittedly better than the zombie chick. I can't make jokes about how she just wore whatever was in her closet, because she is not wearing clothes, just a cape and underwear.

It's only $8 new on Amazon, It's also a new ip from Nintendo. Two great reasons right there.

This game looks awesome. If i suddenly come into enough money to buy and support the purchase of games on several consoles i'll put this on my "see what the fuck it's about" list.

I thought the elf was a chick?
I mean, it doesn't look specifically feminine or anything, but that's what I read elsewhere... unless memory fails me.

Jonathan, you are the hero Destructoid needs, but not the one it deserves right now. So we’ll joke about you because he can take it. Because you're not our hero, you are a silent guardian, a watchful protector… our expert on pedophilia.

At first, I wasn't too interested, but dat art direction. Seriously, I love games that are willing to go over the top like this, and while I still don't like the design of skimpy armor sword lady, I'm absolutely digging the ones I'm seeing here. Gotta love it when a game does crazy shit like that. Such a shame this game probably won't get localized.

Ten minutes ago I didn't know this game was a thing.

Now I want the game in my 3DS ASAP.

Not specifically because of the online feature, but because it looks cool as fuck.
