Atlus USA to Release AquaPazza PS3 Game in N. America

Atlus USA announced on Wednesday that it will release the 2D fighting game AquaPazza in North America. The PlayStation 3 game will feature all the content through the current Japanese arcade version of AquaPazza, which includes new characters and improvements for tournament-grade action. The game will feature the original Japanese voice track.

The game will ship in North America this holiday season for US$29.99, and will also be available as a digital download.

The fighting game pits characters from bishōjo game maker AQUAPLUS' previous titles such as Tears to Tiara, To Heart, Kizuato, and Utawarerumono against one another. The game features 13 playable characters and 13 partners to choose from, and an additional hidden character. In the game players can use combos, partner attacks, and chains to defeat opponents. Players can also challenge opponents online.

Examu, the creator of the Japanese fighting game franchise Arcana Heart, developed AquaPazza as a 2D arcade game that was released in Japan in June 2011. The PS3 version shipped in Japan in August 2012.
