Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus on its way to PSP

by Nick Doerr { Apr 26th 2008 at 7:00AM }

Arcades be doomed to oblivion -- the only true way to experience the maniacal and menacing fighter known as Guilty Gear is to play it on the go. Curse in public! Shout in victory on the bus/plane/train! Famitsu has leaked out information that a port of Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus is coming to the PSP. For the uninitiated, this is the most complete and balanced version of the game to date, so you're guaranteed hours of awesomeness. What's more, it seems an ad-hoc mode for three-on-three tournaments is in the works. More details on that as they surface. For now, drool in anticipation!

You seem pretty pumped up for this Nick, you a fan of guilty gear? How does it compare to tekken, or other fighting games, such as Street fighter? Iv never played guilty gear, although iv had the urge to buy it.

I am a fan of Guilty Gear, it's true. It's weird because I generally fail at fighting games. I think what draws me to this one is the story (the original one on the PlayStation struck a chord with me somehow; glad Atlus started the Guilty Gear train in the US), but the incredibly fast fighting is probably my favorite.

I don't really like slow fighters, but I enjoyed Virtua Fighter 5. I also enjoy Arcana Heart! Both of those seem slow at first, but when you get to understand them, they're rather fast. This one is just blazingly fast. And incredibly complex.

I dunno. It was just the first 2D fighter I really came to enjoy, I suppose.

How many times has this same game been released? It's getting as bad as Street Fighter 2 and it's various revisions. How about a completely new version, Arc.

Having said that: I'll probably buy it.

There's Accent Core and Accent Core Plus for PS2, and Accent Core for Wii.

I'll will buy this just for the story mode. I loved Guilty Gear XX's story mode and a was disappointed when they didn't add it to the sequel.

The only thing confirmed for this is a new story mode, Mission mode, revamped survival, Kliff and Justice return woot.

Thanks for answering my question Nick. It really spoke to me :D I passed on virtual fighter 4/5, straight away because of how slow the characters moved. I also enjoy the faster, more reaction testing fighters, so thats kinda all I wanted to know :)

strike @ Apr 26th 2008 3:10PM

Thanks for answering Nick, that really helped. I also found that virtual Fighter 4/5, cant remember which one, was extremely slow. Ididnt play long enough to get used to it though :D

Woah! Serious slow news day. this has been the top article for like two days now. Do what ds fanboy sometimes does (no offence) and post something worthless, like "How often do you read the game manuals?"

strike @ Apr 27th 2008 12:42PM

I guess theres nothing goin on in the psp world for the next few months. How long do you think its gonna take to port this Nick? Iv been drooling in anticipation for two days now

:P'''''

Nick Doerr @ Apr 27th 2008 9:06PM

Hmm, well, a lot longer than two more days! =D

I think this is a pretty early announcement, so we'll probably get a Fall release date announced at E3 or something in July. Just a guess, but it seems the brunt of gaming in general is happening this September.
