Persona 4 Arena hits PlayStation Network today
[Update: Pricing updated: $29.99] One of the best fighting games of last year hits PSN tomorrow as a downloadable title. Atlus and Arc System Works' fighting game with a story, Persona 4 Arena, will be available after tomorrow's PlayStation Network update. I suck at this game but still love it. I pick Yukiko, mash buttons, and laugh all the while. Even when losing. Fellow Persona fans should know that it's enjoyable even for those with no fighting game chops. We've reached out to Atlus for details on pricing and size. We will report back as soon as we hear something. Did you know?
