Arcana Heart 3 confirmed for North America photo

Aksys Games has officially confirmed that Arcana Heart 3 will come to the PlayStation Network this Spring. When it drops it'll be the best way to see leggy girls knock each other upside the head way up in the air. 

In this round, three more fighters have been added to the roster, taking the fighter count up to 23. There will also be 23 fighting styles to pick from to match your own style. Aksys says that there's plenty to roll solo with here with story mode, score attack mode and a training mode available. And when you are fighting against a real opponent, if you suck, you can use the game's new Simple Mode to pull off big combos without all the crazy button sequences.

For the versed fighters, there's full online multiplayer. There's going to be ranked matches, online lobbies and replays.

Check out the lot of new screens from Arcana Heart 3 in our gallery below.

Looks stupid. Ehh, I'll stick to Battle Fantasia, Guilty Gear XX, and BlazBlue: CS

Please don't make the beginner mode accessible in ranked matches. This bugs me so much in BlazBlue CS. You shouldn't be allowed to play ranked with beginner mode. If you suck that much, you shouldn't be playing ranked in the first place.

I played a bit of the first one, but having online play might inspire me to get a little better at 3. I'm looking forward to this.

If I'm reading this right, this adds up to 529 movesets. How are tier lists even calculated here?

Super Street Fighter IV and Blazblue CS have me already. Not much else needed on the fighter front nowadays.

Especially if you have to be within a nanosecond to pull off combos without fear of recovery.

Goddamnit blazblue.

Had more fond memories of the first game on the PS2, than I had for pretty much most 2D fighters this gen. Though I'm greatly saddened that this will not be on XBLA, still think PS3 users should at least give this one a shot. That, or hope someone finally licenses Melty Blood in North America. (Go old school 2D Fighters)

Not that I need much in the way of excuses to buy a 2-D sprite based fighting game with an all-female cast, the fact that it's a PS3 exclusive makes it one of those titles that I just have to get the moment I pick up a PS3. The Spring release means that it'll already have a community around it by the time that I have the funds set aside to do that.

This is great. I love me some sort of loli Fightan gaem.


Also Caspulex, GG and SFIV are less forgiving than BB.

Double dipping on this for sure. I imported it love the hell out of it, much better than BB:CS and miles ahead of GG and BF.

PSN?? I'm surprised they aren't releasing a physical version with tempting yet embarrassing special edition goodies. But looking forward to it, anyway!

No 360 version? That's where I use my fight stick at. :(

I'm a sucker for 2d fighters and I own the first one still so I'll probably get this and fail horribly at it. And enjoy every minute of it.

I really wish they'd gone the disc-based route with this, but at least we're getting SOMEthing.

@BulletMagnet

You can get a retail disc of Arcana Heart 3 by importing from Europe when it's released sometime this year.

Damn! This game still hasn't come to XBL or X360 retail yet. I'm disheartened.
Oh well, guess I have to get it for my PS3 then :(
