Sakura Taisen - Have you ever heard of it?

[yugifan2005]

Yes, I read that article. Whether that means good news or bad news, only time will tell.

 

[latiasfan2004]

As of now, three remaining games for the PS2 have been scheduled. Because of the recent news, their release remains in doubt. And who knows what will happen to the anime, at this point. Oh boy.......:nervous:

 

[yugifan2005]

Well, as the year closes, not a whole lot to talk about. Oh well.......:(

 

[latiasfan2004]

@yugifan2005: Don't be so depressed!;) This series may not be so well known as other series out there, but at least you and me share a common interest! If you want, go to gamefaqs, where the translation guides are. Enjoy!

 

[yugifan2005]

@latiasfan2004: Yes, I checked out gamefaqs, and I found news that Red Entertainment has officially left Sega! :surprised Oh boy, this will affect the future of this franchise! In what way, I don't know.

@yugifan2005: If you would like, you can also check out the Sakura Taisen fan club on Yahoo. I am a member there, and yes, I have the exact same user name there. Hope to see you there soon. :)

Yes, I like it. My friend got the manga and lent it too me. =)

Just today, I read an interesting post on gamefaqs regarding the Hoshi-Gumi, which is the original group that started using the robots for fighting. It was on the Sakura Taisen 5 board in the PS2 section. It sure was interesting, and may even lead to a new game about them. After all, this year is the 10th anniversary of the franchise itself.

 

[yugifan2005]

Wow, it seems like no one has posted here in this thread for a long time. So I wil extend this thread, since I would like to talk more about this series!

 

[latiasfan2004]

@yugifan2005: Aww, thank you very much! :) And I was just about to report, that a sequel to last year's Sakura Taisen V on PS2 is in the works. Not to mention, the Teitoban game, which is an adventure game. At least one of them could come out later on this year.

 

[yugifan2005]

@latiasfan2004: Together, we will try to keep this topic alive, as much as we possibly can, especially when the new games come out! :)

 

[latiasfan2004]

@yugifan2005: Yes, now that's the spirit! :) And just a reminder, Sakura Taisen 1 + 2 are coming out to the PSP on March 9. And a new Kayou show DVD based on the New York Kagekidan will be coming out, as well. I just received the news from the Yahoo fan club.

 

[yugifan2005]

For the PSP release, I hope that the 2 games remain as true to the Saturn and Dreamcast original as possible.

 

[latiasfan2004]

@yugifan2005: To answer your question, yes, the PSP release will, for the most part, play remarkably like the Saturn original. I don't know how much of the voices will remain intact, though. :\

 

[yugifan2005]

Has there been any news yet on a new OVA series or something? :\

 

[latiasfan2004]

@yugifan2005: No, there have been no news on the OVA front, at least not yet. I think that were due for an OVA based on the New York Kagekidan, though. ;)

 

[yugifan2005]

Man, it seems as if there isn't much news on this series these days. It's also not very easy to find much information on this series, unless you are willing to do long searches on google or something. Oh well..... :tired:

 

[latiasfan2004]

Tomorrow is the day that Sakura Taisen 1 + 2 finally makes its debut on the PSP! Finally, a chance to play this series on the go! :)

 

[yugifan2005]

If I had a PSP, I know that I would've gotten this game sooner! :disappoin But I guess that it wasn't meant to be. Maybe next time.

 

[latiasfan2004]

@yugifan2005: I feel your pain. I don't have a PSP either. But that's alright, since the games are identical to ther Saturn and Dreamcast counterparts anyway.
