Travis Bruno of Capsule Computers:
"Usually whenever a crossover game is announced for release in Japan, fans in the West usually hang their heads or prepare to import the title because the chance of a localization is usually nil for such titles. However in recent memory a number of very niche titles have begun to grace Western shores thanks to localization teams such as Atlus USA. AquaPazza: AquaPlus Dream Match was originally released on home consoles in Japan back in 2012 and a little over a year later, it is now available in North America. The question is, did the title deserve such a localization?"
Play: "Everyone know about Street Fighter, Tekken and company, but what about alternative fightings games that don't get so much love?"
An updated list of discounted game codes on Amazon features AquaPazza dropping by 67% to 9.99, Catherine by 35% to $12.99, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment by 50% to $4.99 and more.
It's the publishers who decide the sales, not the distributors. So when a publisher puts a game on sale, it's on sale (or should be) through EVERY retailer.
This is why you can walk into a Gamestop, for example, and see a new copy of a game selling for less than a used copy--because the Publisher sets the price for the former, and the retailer for the latter.
"Let's talk about AquaPazza (or, more accurately, AquaPazza: AquaPlus Dream Match). It's a fast paced, frenetic fighting game that is apparently a massive hit in Japanese arcades, featuring an all star roster of some apparently popular anime and visual novel characters."
not a bad looking game, might pick this one up!
Awesome, I hope this gets a Europe release too even if it's a digital one.
