I love Atlus. They just seem to know what I want to play, and that's probably why my gaming shelf is packed with their titles. Somehow they knew I wanted to play Japanese brawler Arcana Heart, too, and now they've announced that the title is coming to the US.

The 2D all-female fighting title was an arcade-only affair until late last year when it hit Japanese PS2s. Although interested, I wrote it off as a title I'd never get my hands on outside of importing.

Atlus saves the day with two versions of the game on one disc. Arcana Heart and the upgraded Arcana Heart Full will cost only $29.99 when it hits US shelves on April 8th.

If you've just learned of the title, know that it sports some very fluid animation and great characters. The sky's the limit with Arcana Heart; you can knock your opponent to the stratosphere if you're good enough. 

Check out Atlus' official Web page for Arcana Heart to hold you over, and check out some gameplay videos of the game after the jump.
