Once again publisher Aksys Games couldn't quite beat the leaks, but they quickly followed retail listings up with an official announcement of Arcana Heart 3: LOVE MAX!!!!! Yes, those five exclamation points are in the title of the game, which is coming to PlayStation 3 and PS Vita in the west this fall.
Arcana Heart 3 is a fighter with a full roster of 23 ladies, boasting plenty of combos, panoramic pics, beautifully detailed backgrounds, and more from the folks at Examu Inc. and Arc System Works.
A ranking system is in place to make sure players get hooked up with others of a similar skill level, and you'll be able to hop in an online lobby with five other players eager to get in on the action. The story mode has over 300 hidden scenarios, including the cheekily hinted-at hot springs episode for each character.
Here are some more extras listed in Aksys' press release:
• For the particularly masochistic, time-attack mode throws players head first into ten tough fights. A special gold-colored enemy awaits them at the end (we call her “gold gal”).
• Replays can be saved, viewed, and even received from other players. Share your loveliest victories with friends (or enemies!?).
• Trial mode puts players through their paces as they plunge into a brutal string of ten fights with 90 possible different mission objectives.
• Gallery mode can hardly contain all the content you’re going to unlock! There are
illustrations aplenty, and “link animations” will bombard you with a level of cuteness the world has never seen.
• (“Link animations” are the animations on the sides of the screen that display your character’s reactions.)
• Players can experience the joy of hearing the original Japanese audio while reading the text in English.
• 60 silky frames per second, so you don’t miss any of the action!
• No matter how gigantic the bosses or special attacks, the dynamic camera system keeps the intense action on screen!
