it's about frikken time! i've been waitin for this to happen since the end of A's. would've liked a StrikerS game, but they're probably waiting for that after a bizzillion copies of this game is sold.

It sure does look like a Nanoha version of Magical Battle Arena... Well, I'm hoping in their version Fate won't be so broken. ...If I ever get to play it. I see "Portable" so most likely, it'll end up on one of that latest overpriced consoles and it'll never leave Japan.

...='(

Well, I don't own a PSP, so poo poo on that. Not too big on 3D fighters anyways. Give me a good old fashioned 2D fighter any day.

... I want my Lyrical Blood, damn it!

On another note, congratulations, Yuuno! You finally got yourself a figure!

>>2
that's what importing is for...although that's for the really devoted.

now the problem lies with the Lyrical Box that's going to be offered. look at all the items:

1)a figma
2)something about a 3 set bath poster (correct me if i'm wrong)
3)a jumbo towel
4)reversible pouch (not sure about the last word)
5)cleaner cloth
6)??? & fanbook
7)i'm guessing a a label for the UMD

...in other words, another way to milk money out of my wallet.

>>3

>On another note, congratulations, Yuuno! You finally got yourself a figure!

Well, would you look at that? Yuuno's moving up in the world! Even if it's on Nanoha's shoulder!

>>4

I didn't know they could do that. The newest system I have is a PS2. lol

That Lyrical Box sure does look interesting. I'd fork over my cash if there was a Fate plushie. >.>

>>5

Yunno will never dare do that... unless he wants RH shoved up where the sun don't shine and receive a Starlight Breaker at point blank!!!

Zafira is a much safer option, he can chain the poor mutt down and use him to his hearts content!!! lol get's torn apart by Zafira fans...

>>4

More than likely it'll stay in Japan, but the damn contents makes me wonder... why do I have this sudden urge to strike all loli fans!!!

A Fate plushie... meow????

>>6

>Zafira fans

They...exist?

>A Fate plushie... meow????

Nya...<3 I wish. lol

I could make one myself...out of felt...but it'd just look terrible. And I'd have to personally apologize to Fate. lol

>>I could make one myself...out of felt...but it'd just look terrible. And I'd have to personally apologize to Fate. lol

Fate will probably use you as target practice while using her plasma Lancer X 1000!

Then again Nanoha might be interested in it and take it off your hands... then come back and blast you to bits for making her Fate-chan cry! lol

If I made one they'll make me EAT it and 100 others as well!!!lol

>>6
sure they exist. just look to the left pic. for some reason they threw in Shamal as bonus figure

>>8
Hey, I'd make a thousand if I could be befriended by the both of them. lol

>>10
lmao!! He's smaller than Vita! At least he's out of dog mode in the special chapter.

Zafira is awesome.

http://moeternity.net/archives/38

also this.

>>They...exist?

I get it, I get it. I spoke too soon. I apologize to all the Zafira fans out there and acknowledge your existence.

there's probably more Zafira fans than there are Shamal fans to begin with hence the omake Shamal figure being bundled with the small Zafira figure.

so uhh, taking it back on topic.....how useless will Shamal be as a playable character?

>>16

Let's not even try shall we?

she can heal and she can... rip out your linker core... and if it's even legal she could force you to eat her cooking!!!lol

>>13

Damn, where can I buy this?!

First half is game

rip off of Battle Arena? probably. heck, they probably hired the people from Fly Systems to design the game. the only difference is that they acutally have voice samples of Mizuki Nana/Tamura Yukari as well as the others and that's always a plus. not to mention the graphical face lift looks awesome. the smoke from the fighting is just as cool as well.

Looks more like a side fighter to me. Seems closer to F/UC than to MBA personally, which is interesting I guess. Playable Chrono is interesting too.

well how about that, according to the official Nanoha site, it seems they're going to re-air A's in October. obvious lead up to the release of the game and movie.

>>22
Better yet, they could animate the soundstages.

>>23

Yeah, well...

Re-air A's -> no new production -> cheap
Animate the soundstages -> expensive

Guess what they chose?

>>24

For the best, really. Do we want to deal with -that- all over again?

Do we want to deal with -that- all over again?

Do we want to deal with -that- all over again?

Do we want to deal with -that- all over again?

Do we want to deal with -that- all over again?

... Fuck.

well, they've got their hands full already with how many series in the making right now?:

White Album 2nd season - they better have the same high quality production as last time

Asura Cryin 2nd season -......meh, don't care about this quality

Sekirei: Pure Engagement - boobies. that is all.

Nanoha 1st Movie - this is what they're working on the hardest right now probably.

and since Seven Arcs aren't at the level of animation studios like Madhouse where they can keep churning out series in high quality, we can't expect Sevan Arcs to do the same yet.....at least not until after the Nanoha movie where the'll make billions.

>>24
That seems to be the popular choice these days.

>>25
XD

>>26
White Album 2nd Season better have new Nana Mizuki songs...

If I could, I'd totally go to Japan for the Nanoha movie and do my part financially so I can feel justified in the letters I'm going to have to write to them for not animating the soundstages. Then again, it might be better if they don't. I wouldn't want to see K-On quality Fate.

http://nanoha.namco-ch.net/

go there....NOW!! it's updated with background music, more info and.....gasp, a new PV!! judging from what's shown, it actually looks like it's a 2d fighter and not a rip off of Battle Arena. it looks like the camera shifts to behind during special moves or scenes fooling us into thinking that it was a 3d fighter.

>>29
Looks good too bad I don't have know whatever language it's written in.

на всякий случай захватил тред

it just got even more badass. go here for more...uhh...baddassness:

http://news.dengeki.com/elem/000/000/211/211315/

it just got even more bada....wait, is that a Nendoroid in this game??? works for me!

Palette swap villains confirmed.

>>34

ROFLCOPTER

>>34
when i first saw that, i thought of the impostors of Vyse's crew in Eternal Arcadia Legend since it's practically similar in concept. which mag is that from? must see what the other page says. and the Lyrical Box is awesome from the pic. can't wait to have it on display

http://nanoha.namco-ch.net/

they've updated with a new video of a Nanoha vs Vita battle, but right now as i type this the Movie link from the site isn't working properly. but from watching the video, i can say this will be a very good game. love how they go from a 2d plane to 3d plane which gives it variety. can't get over how cool the smoke looks when explosions happen

>>34
>>34
Oh god. lol @ blue-haired Fate

Wow. Sure is Fate Stay Night PSP game.

Is it me or does short-haired Nanoha look like Sakura...hmmm...

>>37
the day after i mention that, they put up another video featuring Fate vs Signum. plus the character section was updated as well along with pictures of what the Lyrical Box looks like which looks amazazing.

And Famitsu says: "Meh"

>>41
and the Nanoha fans say "Meh" to Famitsu's "Meh" anyways, am i right? in my book, the Lyrical Box set should bump everything up to 9s at least.

Well well well, looks like the game is finally out... on the net either way.

>>43
I downloaded it but I have no PSP and I can't get the PSP Emulator to load it so no way to play it...

Here's an image from the game and a gameplay vid.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUhMR4qbykw

So far, I've seen people saying that the game isn't that good. That the game controls are a little weird. But it's more fun than MBA.

There's plenty of gameplay vids up on Niconico, and in general the gameplay seems to be different enough from MBA that it's not really fair to compare them - in comparision to MBA where you're dashing halfway across the stage just to dodge an attack, Battle of Aces allows dashing only in very short bursts, with a slowly refilling dash gauge to limit how often and how fast you can dash. Because of that, it's got a very different feel.

Aside from that, Battle of Aces seems to trend generally toward smaller-scale attacks compared to MBA, and makes use of a number of interesting submechanics compared to the more conventional MBA. Going so far out of its way to be different, though, does tend to impact the result negatively. And while MBA had the luxury of having had a demo and three years of patches and expansion packs to iron out balance issues and the like, Battle of Aces is a new release for a handheld, and thus seems to be burdened with the kind of gameplay imbalances and issues common to a "first" fighting game.

Basically, it seems unpolished, and while that's not an uncommon problem among new fighting series, most other games typically fix the problems and become good through their sequels, a luxury Battle of Aces can't really count on. The practical result of all this is that it seems like the best strategy is to constantly fly to the side, spamming specials and dashing out of the way of the opponent's specials; the better gameplay vids I've seen ignored melee completely, though those videos featured Nanoha and Fate and I haven't seen any really worthwhile ones featuring the Wolkenritter yet.

for those that were disappointed with it and have better ideas to improve it, let your voice be heard.....in Japanese of course: https://enq.bngi-channel.jp/em/enq/enq_form.php?qIds=-mcQpvzOWkit

this survey will help improve the next game in many ways coughPS3Strikersfightinggamecough

>>47

>Aside from that, Battle of Aces seems to trend generally toward smaller-scale attacks compared to MBA

That's disappointing. Who would want to fight as Nanoha and spend most of the time dashing forward to bitchslap your opponent with Raising Heart?

>>48
Hmm... I hope everyone tells them to make it more like MBA. And I hope they will listen...

>>49

Actually its more like dashing back to bind your opponent before Divine Bustering them.

Ah well that don't matter to me since I can't play it... yet.

Still I'll be looking forward to find the opening song for this game, Nana Mizuki Silent Bible, when it comes out which is dated at 10th Feburary. can't wait to get my hands on that!

Oh yes since I'm on the topic here's a link to the PV of it, gotta love it!

>>51

>>when it comes out which is dated at 10th Feburary.

Thanks for the info! Also on the single will be the theme of Super Robot Wars OG Saga Endless Frontier Exceed, which I'm looking forward to more.

>>52

Looks like I got lucky in my search, heres a link to the Silent Bible that includes a few other songs as well... this should be interesting

http://freakshare.net/files/ljkzd0co/Silent.Bible.rar.html

Have fun

anybody know where to get the CGs in the game? i'd love to use them as a background for my PSP. then again, they're going to have some themes released this month with the DLC on the PSN Store....but still, i like some of the CGs they have in the game.

>>53

Thanks. I think Unchain World is the only track worth repeat listens, though.

>>53
Oh my god. I forgot about this. Thank you!

>>55
I really like undercover.

http://dps.dengeki.com/2010/02/11/p12122/

DLC is coming (finally). Bind Breaker is going to be a guilty pleasure for sure especially since they're going to rotate with new characters every so period.

>Nanoha as a meido
>Fate blowing bubbles

M-My nutbladder....

Limit BREAK

>Material L
>Material S
>Material D

How many people saw what they did there?

>>60
WHAT.

>>41
How many years has it been since Famitsu's been credible?

>>60

This makes me wonder... are there any pictures of the Nanoha cast doing drugs?
