Anime News Network's coverage of Anime NYC 2017 is sponsored by Yen Press.
MangaGamer announced during its panel at Anime NYC on Friday that it will release the Golden Fantasia CROSS (Ōgon Musōkyoku CROSS) fighting game on its website and on Steam on December 8. MangaGamer announced in October 2016 that it would release the game as its first fighting game.
MangaGamer also announced that it will release a hardcopy of Princess Evangile W Happiness on December 15, Imouto Paradise 2 on December 22, and the Sweet Switch and Bitter Exclusion adult games next year.
The Golden Fantasia CROSS fighting game is a sequel to the first Ōgon Musōkyoku fighting game, both based on Ryukishi07 and 07th Expansion's Umineko - When They Cry (Umineko no Naku Koro ni) mystery suspense game. 07th Expansion developed the game, and released the first game on the PC in Japan in December 2010. Golden Fantasia CROSS shipped in December 2011.
In the game, players select two characters, but control only one at a time, tagging between them in a unique "touch" mechanic whose effects differ depending on when it is triggered, such as blocking, taking damage, or attacking. Players can also expend their resource gauge to summon the Metaworld, which allows them unlimited access to their strongest attacks at no cost, although opponents can cancel this summon by expending resources of their own. MangaGamer plans to release the game on its website and on Steam.
MangaGamer released the Umineko - When They Cry -Question Arcs- sound novel on the PC via Steam in July 2016, and released the Answer Arcs on Friday. NIS America released the sound novel's anime adaptation on home video, and Yen Press is releasing the manga adaptation in omnibus editions.
