In the five years since the Bleach: Heat the Soul franchise began, Sony has managed to create seven games, all exclusively for the PSP. Considering Bleach is a relatively popular anime series in America, we're dumbfounded by Sony's continued refusal to bring a single one of these games over to America.
The seventh iteration of the popular fighting game franchise will add four-player battles, according to a report by Siliconera. Perhaps taking a page from Monster Hunter's tremendous success, you'll be able to fight "giant enemies," something that will most likely require the use of the newly added four-player mode.

Hands up whoever didn't see this one coming.
I was a little disappointed with HTS6. HTS5 was definitely my favourite but lets hope this one can top it.
It's not a huge deal that this isn't in English though. Most of the menus are in English anyway, so if you don't mind Japanese audio in the Story mode then an import (or download) shouldn't put you off.

Thanks for import info on it, 5hRreDDy. I've been hearing about it for a couple of yrs (little late on the Bleach anime wave, but I'm caught up now) and I heard it's pretty popular over there. I'd hope that eventually they'd bring it here; but I can see I'm going to have to continue to look into the importing of it.
Have you played all of them, which ones do think are the best to get?

Well, each new game is pretty much the same as its predecessor in terms of gameplay and graphics but there's always a tiny feature addition in each one and the story follows the latest developments in the anime (Japanese airing). Personally I like no.5 the best since it's easy to understand and it has plenty of characters and great gameplay. No.6 is good as well, but the menus are little more confusing if you're not a speaker (reader) of Japanese :)

I'm happy that they don't bring it to america because the english subs would be horrible and it just sounds weird hering it in english. And let's not forget about the changes they might make to compensate for culture differences.
