Finally, the most recent edition of Guilty Gear is coming over to the US. Aksys Games has announced that they will be bringing the fighter over in both PS2 and Wii flavors. As of right now, the game is slated to be released in the Fall of this year.
So, why should you buy Accent Core? Well, if you're a Guilty Gear fan, then it's just an automatic purchase. For the rest of you, the game will be featuring re-recorded voicework, some new artwork, and the ability to make a fool of yourself by playing with the Wii waggle controls.
So, once a firm release date has been announced, expect me to harass the rest of the review crew into buying the game. The game hasn't been rated by the ESRB, but I doubt that it'll run into any problems -- unless they have a problem with Bridget, for some reason. (For those who really don't know, Bridget is never worksafe.)
Check out the press release with a full mention of the additions after the jump.

Okay then, cool.
Not that I was looking...not at all...
DO WANT FIX PLZ
the wii one however sounds like a rent
Also, I don't think the ESRB will have any trouble with Bridget. Everyone is gay for Bridget.
For those of you who don't know, Bridget is a young boy dressed like a girl in a nun's outfit and fights with a giant teddy bear with razor claws and packed with explosives. So, basically, Bridget is a TRAP! He looks like a girl but he's a guy and when people day Bridget is cute, that's when you point and laugh and say "everyone is gay for Bridget!"
But on a different note...who likes Bridget? He sucks.
DO NOT WANT. What the fucking fuck?! Go to hell, Japan. *cries*
Is Bridget's buldge shown in game?
It's been done.
And done again
And really a whole lot here
Lethal, I've actually played as Bridget several times, and when I pick up AC, I'm going to try mastering him and Chipp, finally.
Note the panty bulge. That's hot.
Hoo Ha!
Christ.
If anybody has a scorpion, I'd really like one in my eyes. NOW.
Somebody (Lord_Satorious) just took it to a whole other level. If you wanted me to post my opinion about this...I could write a book, for cereal!
I would like to congratulate Lord_Satorious for posting that pic numerous times. So that even if you hit spacebar/page down or whatever, you still got mucho Bridget wang in passing.
Masterfully played sir.
Of course, I think Lord_Satorious just turned a whole lot more people gay for Bridget!
I cried a little. Fuck.
