    Hmmm.. interesting too bad no Zest or Jenius or chara from tears, wind or force feather.

  • JonathanisPrimus

    Modern Shining games have sold best on PSP.

    Release Shining fighting game on platforms with none of PSP’s appeal.

    SEGA

    • Delicious Fried Chocobo

      resonance had decent sales while being rather mediocre, I hope they add a few cool characters from it.
      but looking at this again… it just a arcade port?

      • JonathanisPrimus

        Yes, it’s an arcade port.

    Tony Taka has overstayed his welcome, time to get a new character designer for their Shining RPG which I hope to be announced this TGS.

    • Delicious Fried Chocobo

      I would love if they added someone from force feather but alas…

      • Arcliff7

        Force Feather was great.

  • Luna Kazemaru

    this game actually had hype?

  • Nu Hades

    >SEGA
    welp

  • Touma Kazusa

    Only characters from Blade and Hearts? that sucks, they should at least add a couple of characters from Ark or Resonance

  • mrgrgr!

    OH PLEASE SEGA!

    • Saddio

      Just import.

  • Renaldi Saputra

    Now, will Sega localize it?
    Oh I forgot those Shining series were from PSP and didn’t get localized at all

    • Carlos Luis Ayala

      They are localizing Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax so there’s hope.

      • Renaldi Saputra

        even though so, Sega hasn’t localized any Shining title since 2007. Ppl won’t be familiar with these characters bcos they’re from the unlocalized PSP games, different from dengeki bunko where many ppl almost know all the characters

      • JonathanisPrimus

        People might actually know characters in that game. No one in the west knows any of these characters.

  • ＮＥＫＯ　ＷＯＲＫＩＮＧ

    why is localization even matter?

  • Lara Croft

    No Vita :(

    • Saddio

      I know right? Hug me!

  • Hellt

    Why cant Sega port their GOOD arcade games instead of this shit.

      Game sucks?

    • Martin

      Did you play it or something? If you didn’t, and are only judging by the cover, well that’s stupid. If you did, then I apologize for my rudeness.

        Forget that comment, it was someone else that replied to my comment.

    • Carlos Luis Ayala
