Given how some gamers (and some game journalists) have a real bug up their butts about games based on animes and mangas, it might seem risky that Capcom are going to be releasing an American version of Fate: Unlimited Codes, a 2D fighter for the PSP based on a computer novel turned manga and anime, neither of which have been released in the U.S.
But while not many in the U.S. will be familiar with the original comic book or cartoon, Fate's gameplay - as we leaned from our time playing the game at Capcom's recent Captivate 09 press event - will be very familiar to gamers, since the title employs many of the tenets of your standard issue 2D fighter. You know, like Street Fighter IV. In fact, the game was originally made for Japanese arcades, with this version being a revamped port of the PS2 version that was in Japan.
Due to the end of a digital licensing agreement, you may not be able to purchase this PSP title after June 12th. With a special lowered price, this just might be your last chance to purchase it on the Playstation Store.
great game. Loving the fate zero series right now. I wonder, I deleted this game because of space on my psp.....well i should download it to my vita most likely just incase it can't be redownloaded ever again

"Fate/Unlimited Codes strikes a good balance between accessibility and depth, with straightforward controls that most players will quickly grasp. It also has enough complexity available via combos and move-cancels to reward seasoned fighting game players. It's not remarkable enough to be a championship contender, and 30 bucks seems like a bit of a high price to pay for a port of a PS2 game, but if you're looking for a fun fighter to take with you on the go, Unlimited Codes will fit the bill nicely."
Spawn Kill's Molotov Cupcake reviews the PSP version of the fighting game Fate/Unlimited Codes. Is the game a must-have for all fighting fans, or something only fans of the anime series will appreciate? Read the full review to find out.
I like the anime art style in the occasional fighter, but I've already got BlazBlue for that.
I still don't understand the whole appeal of anime-based fighting games. This one looks decent enough, it just seems like an anime game would be a better match for an RPG or action/adventure title.
So there's jap dub ? and eng subs ?
If there are then I'm ON.
Need to take a break from Blazblue but at least Saber can make up my moments without Rachel =3
