The European publisher Zen United has announced that they are taking it upon themselves to bring Arcana Heart 3 out of Japan. Although the game was presumed to be trapped in the land of the rising sun due to its niche genre and all female cast, this surprising announcement is a win for European 2D fighting game fans
Arcana Heart 3 is a 2D fighting game featuring an all-girl roster. The game will include 23 girls and 23 'Arcana' (special elemental powers) that can be paired together for over 500 different character combinations.
Due to popular demand, a Limited Edition version of the game has been announced for the European market. This will include:
LIMITED EDITION• The original, 144 page Japanese Arcana Heart 3 artbook containing production sketches and concept art.
• Arcana Heart 3 Official Soundtrack exclusive to this Limited Edition set.
• 12 character guide cards, featuring artwork and command listings for Arcana Heart's extensive character and Arcana roster.
• All presented in a beautiful, iconic box.(http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/6104/arcanaheartslimiteded.jpg)
SUGGOI OPPAI EDITIONArc System Works has announced that they will be releasing a "very special, super-limited 'SUGGOI OPPAI' Fans Edition", and by super-limited, they mean only 500 copies.
As well as the entire contents of the Limited Edition, the Suggoi Oppai Fans Edition will include a Mei Fang Super 3D Boobie Mousemat:

According to the press release, the Suggoi Oppai Fans Edition is available to pre-order from publisher Zen United's online store for £49.99. However, the store is actually displaying a price of just £41.66, which is a bargain in my opinion.
Arcana Heart 3 is due to be released in Europe on June 30th, although this is actually a Thursday. Most retailers are listing the title for June 24th instead, so expect the game to release around this time.
Gonna get this to fill the void and try and quell some anticipation for the Game of the Year which is released 2 weeks later on July 8th, Earth Defense Force 4.
lol that "Super 3D Boobie Mousemat" is the official market name. :D Japan is c-c-c-craaazy.
