by David Hinkle { Jan 27th 2009 at 9:30PM }

Fans of 2D fighters and the Guilty Gear franchise, prepare for enjoyment. Aksys has revealed Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus, which is set to grace the PS2, PSP, and Wii with its 2D splendor in Spring 2009. As big fans of 2D fighters, we were more than happy to receive the press release and pass the info along to you all. So, what should you expect?

Well, there will be punching. There's also going to be some kicking. And, by all means, do not freak out when you see a character or two jump. Jokes aside, it's another Guilty Gear game. You pretty much know what you're getting into by now.

Stay off the floor! THE FLOOR IS LAVA!

Yeah, I've tried that pickup line before, too. Doesn't work.

AT ALL.

you just need to go to the right bars... the foot fetish ones

Deadpool @ Jan 27th 2009 9:48PM

o_o!!!Did they add anything new like stages or characters....what WHAT?! I NEEd to know! [proceeds to tear through the internet for more info]

NoughtSoClever @ Jan 28th 2009 7:55PM

Looks like they added Justice and that short old guy that carries the giant sword from Isuka. Also has mission mode, I don't recall if the first Accent Core had that.

Giroro @ Jan 27th 2009 9:50PM

So, it turns out that the classic controller kinda sucks with guilty gear.

Mr Khan @ Jan 27th 2009 10:00PM

I lol'ed

Tim @ Jan 27th 2009 10:11PM

Since GG XX Accent Core was previously featured in Tougeki* (Japan-only fighting game tourney), will + be featured in Tougeki* 2009?

*AKA Super Battle Opera

SBO is an arcade only tournament, so no.

EfrenPacquiao @ Jan 27th 2009 10:15PM

I'm willing to try it.

Cerpin Taxt @ Jan 27th 2009 10:19PM

God dammit. Give us Guilty Gear XXX already. Each XX installment adds far less than even each Madden game.

BPMOmega [gamertag] @ Jan 28th 2009 12:41AM

I'm sure you can find plenty of Guilty Gear XXX if you search Google.

Max "Tails" Power @ Jan 27th 2009 10:35PM

They're even worse than Capcom was with all the Street Fighter 2 versions. Guilty Gear is now officially shovelware.

HamalSharatan @ Jan 27th 2009 10:43PM

What is this new version bringing? I already have an Accent Core, they better put some significant new content.

NoughtSoClever @ Jan 28th 2009 7:57PM

Or what? You won't buy it?

HamalSharatan @ Jan 28th 2009 8:14PM

What do you think?

CLupula @ Jan 27th 2009 11:12PM

I do know the story mode is back in this version, so, unlike the last update, this one has endings. Otherwise, i have no idea what else is new.

tafuub @ Jan 27th 2009 11:09PM

What the hell happened to PS3 Fanboy? I don't want to know crap about PS1 or PS2. WTF!

BPMOmega [gamertag] @ Jan 28th 2009 12:43AM

Weren't you paying attention about the site changes?

PS3 Fanboy and PSP Fanboy have been merged into Joystiq PlayStation.
Wii Fanboy and DS Fanboy have been merged into Joystiq Nintendo.
360 Fanboy is now called Joystiq Xbox.

tafuub @ Jan 28th 2009 3:27AM

Well whats with the PS2 crap too. Its bad enough I have to filter out the PSP crap but PS2 crap too? I mean come on. Your basically telling me I have to go else where for PS3 news.

NoughtSoClever @ Jan 28th 2009 7:58PM

Please don't go. I'm sure you would be sorely missed.

MidnightScott @ Jan 27th 2009 11:18PM

I guess they screwed up the first time? :s

justin456789 @ Jan 27th 2009 11:33PM

mgsrocks1 @ Jan 27th 2009 11:54PM

Is the guy kneeling down trying to give himself a...

Nah, I will just let it go.

Max "Tails" Power @ Jan 28th 2009 2:20AM

That's impossible. Believe me, I know. :(

wiinterfang @ Jan 27th 2009 11:59PM

Big fan of 2D fighters my Ass, you haven't Follow the King at all >__>.

PSIJunkie @ Jan 27th 2009 11:59PM

I guess I'll be getting it seeing as I don't own any of the Guilty Gear games. I played the normal XX Accent Core, which I really enjoyed.

Yatcho @ Jan 28th 2009 12:28AM

Ive always wanted to try this game, but i heard the waggle really killed it, can anyone tell me otherwise?

And btw if you were wondering, this game adds(or brings back, i dont know) Cliff and Justice.

BPMOmega [gamertag] @ Jan 28th 2009 12:44AM

Wagglan has no place in fighting games like this.

But you can use things like the Classic Controller or the arcade sticks.

Robert @ Jan 28th 2009 1:11AM

Yeah this new Joystiq Playstation site sucks! I like the layout, but I wanna read about the PSP not the PS3 nd PS2, nd i'm sure PS3 fanboys don't wanna hear about the PSP, etc!! ahhh what were they thinking???

Squirtbot @ Jan 28th 2009 1:16AM

AGREED!

Avoli @ Jan 28th 2009 6:23AM

STFU already. You people complaining make it sound like it's SO hard to browse over articles. Good thing you probably dont read a newspaper, they just throw that shit together the way they want, AND the whole story isnt on one page. OH NO! EFFORT REQUIRED TO A SMALL DEGREE!! Christ.....

TRU_21 @ Jan 28th 2009 6:10AM

What is this? This is no longer PS3 only site? :(

Feba @ Jan 28th 2009 3:30AM

Custom soundtrack support.

Custom soundtrack support.

Simple feature. Just read from an SD card on Wii, memory stick PSP.

Simple feature. All I ask.

SegaPleaseMakePanzerDragoonWii! @ Jan 28th 2009 11:59AM

You know, I was thinking "why would I purchase this when I already own Accent Core?".

Custom Soundtracks and online would make this a day one purchase.
I know that there probably isn't a chance in hell of either, but I'll still wait and see.

*fingers crossed*
