For those of you unaware exactly what the franchise is, the Wikipedia page for Sega's game series is fairly enlightening. The game's announcement was made during an event held by Sega in Japan on the 13th, as they confirmed the latest entry in the series will be gracing the DS and is to feature characters from the three branches of the franchise's main fighting group: Imperial Flower Branch, Paris Flower Branch and New York Flower Branch.IGN also reports that Japanese Gemaga magazine scored an interview with Sega's series producer Ouji Hiroi. The next issue of the magazine is set to hit news stands over there on the 30th, so expect more details on the game to surface then.
