Japan Only Release: Check
PS3 Exclusive: Check.

Im only curious as too why they would make it a PS3 exclusive when Naruto and such are on both the PS3 and 360? Whats the point of making Bleach a PS3 exclusive. Eh. Cant say much about this game seeing as it wont even be released here. :[

@Hi iTs SlayeR
I don't think Sony would publish a 360 game buddy. If it were Sega, then maybe, but Sega and Sony both have publishing rights.

@t0ye Wasn't Sony. Find me a legit EU copy of Ghostbusters for Xbox with the Sony Computer Entertainment logo on the bottom-right corner.

If it looks even half as good as Ultimate Ninja Storm does, I'll probably get suckered into importing this.

If it's half as good as the psp games i'll probably import it. Those games are some of the best fighting games made for the psp.

Gah!

One of the few anime series I watch, and they pull this stunt.

...and yet they wonder why their game market suffers.

"it appears that at least three of the main characters will have a starring role: Ichigo, Rukia and Ishida."

Why does the article go with Ichigo and Rukia's first names, then go to last name basis with Uryu? Maybe it should be "Kurosaki, Kuchiki, and Ishida", or just go American style and call Ishida his first name, Uryu. It bugs me when people say the names Japanese style in America.

Cool though that the games are coming to PS3, I like Bleach, and I've heard the games are good. Bleach is certainly popular here, always being in the Top 3 of Adult Swim's Saturday ratings, even during boring filler arcs like the current "New Captain Shusuke Amagai" arc.

I stopped watching/reading bleach a couple years ago, but I'm pretty sure they call Ishida by his first name more often than his family name. In fact I didn't even know his last name was Uryu. That's like getting annoyed if someone refers to the Southpark characters as Kyle, Stan, Kenny, and Cartman. Eric is Cartman's first name, but he would be refferd to as Cartman because that is how the people on the show mostly refer to him as.

Well the dub calls 99% people of the characters by their first name, with a few exceptions like Urahara(they still use his first name sometimes) and Aizen. So I assumed the Stand Operating Procedure in the US was first name basis like the anime dub, especially since these games are dubbed by the same VAs.

I'll go with what Grey says here. I mainly think of him referred to as Ishida as well. Let's just strike it up to how formal the character is, eh

Color me baffled as to why they haven't come stateside. Licensing issues perhaps?

@Crayola Q Pants ESQ

That's something I wonder myself. Bleach is quite popular outside of Japan so why not release it at least stateside as well? I'm pretty sure the sales would more than make up for the translation costs in particular if it's on the PS3 (the PSP sadly probably wouldn't work :( )

You have...ramen for us? Yes, please!

OT: I too, wish they'd localize this game along with the heat the soul series, I think the series is popular enough that spending money localizing them would not be wasted money.

i really like the heat the soul games, but the last one is way to complicated i don't understand 80% of that game, no more purchases from me until they localize it or at least add more english texts to the game

I hate these people. Why do they think the US doesn't want Bleach games?

Also... why is Uryuu in a staring role? He's a secondary character. If he's there then why not Chad, Renji, and Orihime as well? Or Urahara? I want Urahara with his hat and clogs.

It's kinda sad that Bleach has become a stereotypical anime/manga now. Main character is so much stronger than everyone else that they're the only character who can deal with the enemies and the enemies are only stronger for the sake of putting the main character in a comeback situation.

It's great the first few times, but once you know they are doing that it becomes all too easy to read what's coming next and you wind up ruining the plot without even having to actually know what's coming next.

*The plot all the way up to the point where Ichigo saves Rukia and then Aizen defects was great, but after that it just got all meh.

I gotta be honest, I never really understood the appeal of Bleach. I liked it better when it was called YuYu Hakusho.

Well, either that, or you're an idiot who doesn't understand the enormous differences between a show largely about shinigami and ghosts and another largely about demons and the underworld...

I was actually trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, tho...

I don't think this'll make much of a difference, but here goes anyway: Sony, please localize this game (but keep a japanese voiceover option) and I'll without a single doubt buy it.

Bear with me, as I'm sure this is common knowledge, but I am unaware as I do not own a PS3. Are they (PS3s) region coded? I assume they are, but you know what they say when you assume.

@EndynOmni No, all PS3s are region-free. You can play any PS3 title from any place in the world with any PS3.
