Insert Credit is reporting that Capcom is publishing a new fighting game for PSP based on the popular hentai series
Fate/stay night. Don't expect giant tentacle monsters and naked girls in the game, though. Although the series has its roots in the eroge visual novel genre, the franchise has become accepted in the mainstream, expanding to a mass-market manga and anime.
The game, titled
Fate/Tiger Colosseum, is coming from the not-so-capable hands of Cavia (
Bullet Witch for Xbox 360). Without gratuitous nudity, the team must work on some truly compelling gameplay to make this worthwhile.

wow i cant wait, loved the anime, i stayed up very later over 2 nights to watch it and still have saber as my pc background. Hope they do it well and don't give saber some perky boobs coz like in the anime, she's an athelete so has horrible muscly breasts lel

Uh yeah, I got a crush on saber, too.
omg :)
And I wouldn't go as far as to call Fate Stay Night a hentai. I mean, it has a full tv series which isn't even ecchi.

FSN game by type-moon is a great game a lot better than the manga/anime, not only because is a lot darker, it has some pr0n and other lines of story too, UBW ftw...
If this game end up being as good as Melty Blood i'm getting for sure...

@daniel-kun the anime was based of a PC hentai game thats why Andrew said that.
The anime was def one of my favs I can't wait for this to come out to import it. Capcom makes some pretty decent fighting games. I wonder if it will be 2d or 3d though.

Ugh. This is one of those things that makes me hate anime in general. Look at that anime chick up there. Who is she? She looks like any of a thousand other anime chicks. Why is this a good thing? Wouldn't you rather have a game made from a genre that doesn't use the same drawings over and over and relies of names and *maybe* different color schemes to differentiate the characters?
I just picked up my 2nd PSP after being without one since just after launch, but I can already see that it's going to have to wade through a minefield of bad manga/anime games and movie tie-ins to find the non-crap.
When will this Japanophile fad DIE already?!?!

I need to watch the FSN anime already. I've been waiting until Mirror Moon releases their translation patch for the game, but it looks like it'll be a while until then. (Though they did finish Tsukihime. I HAVE HOPE.)
ZeroCorpse: OH NOES SOME PEOPLE LIKE SOMETHING THAT I DON'T. WAAAAAAAAH. ;_;

ZeroCorpse: FU
You don't like the stuff, you don't buy it. It's that simple.
Personally, I love getting some anime lovin' on my PSP.

lol. #6 is a troll.
how is liking anime any worse than liking other things? sure, some people take it too far (worshipping anything that comes from japan and treating everything else as crap) but the same could be said for football (ever see a bunch of half naked dudes with their team's name painted on the rolls of their flabby chests? exactally.)
sure, i love anime. but i also love Lost and House MD. i'm not a big fan of sports, but i'm not gonna go troll them. i'm fine with the fact that others enjoy different things than me. that's what makes the world not boring.
(ps. "when will this sports fad die already??!! *sarcasm*")

@ZeroCorpse: Sometimes there's a fine line between a fad and a phenomenon. Just look at PCs: Bill Gates himself didn't see why anyone would need "more than 640 kilobytes of memory," yet here we are with 4GB dual-processor machines, a (literally) world-wide computer network, and a video game market bigger than our national debt (okay, maybe not THAT big). Why not ask when this whole computer fad will die?
By the way, if you care to do the research, you'll find that anime has roots in Disney, of all things.
I don't know about other fans, but one of my biggest reasons for enjoying anime is that-- most of the time --it has more plot than a cemetery. They're more than just cartoons; they make you think. The best titles have major influences from literature, philosophy, psychology, etc., and the worst at least make an attempt. Even the shortest (2-3 episodes) of "hentai" series have ten times as much story as any American porno flick, and some even have a backstory and a subplot or two.
Personally, I haven't even GOTTEN a PSP yet because I didn't want to "wade through" all the cheap knock-offs and rehashes like Tomb Raider, Star Wars, LotR, and NASCAR Racing. I'm only considering it now because a PSP version of Riviera is coming out soon. Of the other titles I've seen and liked, most are-- you guessed it --"anime" games. I wouldn't mind seeing PSP games for Kiddy Grade or Magic Knight Rayearth, either; it would make buying the system more worthwhile.
P.S. Call me a shoujo fan, but MKR is more than just a little girls' anime. Or maybe Japan's little girls are just more emotionally mature than Americans under 30.
P.P.S. NOBODY looks just like Saber-chan. ;P *likes Arcueid better anyway*
