AquaPazza is Coming to North America!

ATLUS announced that AquaPazza: Dream Match, a 2D fighter consisting of characters from games developed by Leaf, is making its way to the US!

ATLUS has been a great publisher when it comes to bring Japanese titles to North America. Without them we would miss out on some great games. AquaPazza is being presented as another game worth looking into.

AquaPazza features include:
•    Eclectic cast of characters: The combatants in AquaPazza are a diverse bunch – from the studious bookworm Manaka who — no kidding — attacks with a bookshelf to the lance-wielding, shield-carrying Sasara.

•    Partner system: Players select from one of the thirteen partners to accompany them. Partners assist players as one of three classes with one of four different actions. Players get rewarded for aggressive play styles and the partners add an additional skill element to help break defensive play.

•    Tournament-level competition: Developed by Examu and Aquaplus, AquaPazza has a strong backbone of fighting game mechanics with twitch response times and super attacks.

•    Variety of gameplay modes: Each character has a storyline of their own, which unlocks the “another story” mode and an alternate ending. There’s also a time-attack mode, training mode, and a gallery mode.

•    Online play: Take to the internet to challenge players in ranked, unranked, and friends-only matches.

Though ATLUS will be handling localization, the game will include its original Japanese voice track. It will also feature the current arcade spec (ver. 2.01) which includes several new characters and improvements for the tournament grade action. It will run gamers $29.99 is the asking price, meaning this is great collectable for fans of AquaPlus.

AquaPazza: Dream Match will release something this holiday, exclusively for the PS3.
