Confirmed: Cross Edge coming in March 09

by Alan Tsang on Dec 20th 2008 10:00PM

Speaking to RPGamer, an NIS America representative confirmed the rumors that the ensemble RPG Cross Edge will be headed for the US. That's great news for traditional JRPG fans everywhere -- the Compile Heart title features characters from the companies Capcom, Namco-Bandai, Gust, Idea Factory and Nippon Ichi. Mark your calendar, kids -- the game will be released in March 2009. To learn more, check out our coverage of the PS3 exclusive here.

[Thanks, Marcus N.!]

Wicked.

WAHOOOOOOO!! O gawd Im sooo very happy!

Hello?
What the hell is this?
This isn't supposed to happen.
An exclusive JRPG on the PS3?
Holy shite.
My panties just got moist.

Moist LOL

... So why can't we have Namco x Capcom, then?

This is awesome news!!! ...but I also agree that I'd love a port of Namco X Capcom! That would rule! :)

this or killzone2 :p very tempting ...

I vote for *both* on that ballot.

i played the demo from the jp store but could not finish do to the japanese

i played the demo on the japan store...this game isnt that good. It looks and plays like a SNES game. Also all the characters are to cute. Even the ones from darkstalker. They took out the dark. But i think this game will fill out every jrpg gamers out there just like harem manga.

The screenshots really look like it is an SNES game. But still, I am looking forward to this.

I agree with you completely. The demo was a huge let down for me. But of course, Japanophiles everywhere will rejoice.

snes game? wtf?

no way -_-

Those sprites are probably about as many pixels as an SNES could put on one screen.

Have you ever played an SNES game?

YEEEESSSSSSSSS MY PRAYERS ARE FINALLY ANSWERED!
Q1 09 is going to be so awesome! :))))

on a side note, is this game required to have trophies upon release? I seem to remember a new Sony rule that enforces mandatory trophy support for all games released after Jan 09. Since this game was already released in Japan for some time, does the rule applies here?

I was thinking the same thing....

I don't think it will be much trouble to add trophies though, because I would think that they would have to add them.

The new trophy rules means all new games developed in 2009 must include trophies. Some of the early 2009 releases may still not have trophies.

I would actually assume so. The rule isn't that it's games developed after January 1st, it's submitted for approval after January 1st, so unless they submit it to SCEA in the next two weeks, I would think they would have to add trophies to the U.S. release.

hmm is the ps3 picking up some exclusives, this is good news. It seems like there have been a few here lately, all ive heard on the 360 side is more halo, and I was over that after I waited in line for 2, what a let down...

damn cant wait. need a good traditional JRPG

Just informed my girlfriend that this will be my birthday gift from her (my birthday's March 6th).

i remember clamoring for this thing to be localized.
(partly due to the drought of PS3 games).

then i realized how broke i'm going to be...
darn...
i've left my RPG love for the fighting game genre.
and i dun see myself coming back.
there's just not enough money to go around. =[

I loved the demo even though I had no idea what was going on. I will buy this the day it is launched here in the U.S.

Rad! I would have imported this but there is no english option... now I can play it!

I never would have imagined that something like this could ever happen. So damn cool. Maybe this gives hope that Tatsunoko vs Capcom will be release in America.
