Suikoden V headed to the US
01.26.06 (9:49 pm)   [edit]
Just yesterday, Konami confirmed that Suikoden V (which has a Feb 23rd JAP release) will be translated into English, ready for a late March US release. I know a certain somebody who will be very pleased about that.

For those of you who don't know, Suikoden is quite the popular game series in Japan but for us over in the west who (unfortunately for us) don't know Japanese, have to wait quite a long time for an english release taking anywhere between a month or an entire year. Anime' over in the western world has grown in popularity over the last few years and more and more anime' themed game titles (mainly on the PS2) are entering US, European and Australian markets with great delight.

Suikoden V is the 5th entry in an illustrious series which takes the land of Falena through some serious SH*T! One note that fans of the series will im sure be pleasently suprised about is that Suikoden V has gone back to its original 6 person team structure during battle sequences which has proved a winner in the past now with more of a real-time strategy feel.

I won't keep raving about this game, but Suikoden V for any anime' fan will be one hell of a great game and with a late March English release, stunning new visuals, great story and awsome musical soundtrack one can't possibly pass up. Be sure to check out the full preview at ign and check out some of the in game footage and screenshots.

Hmm...I love Japanese culture but I'm not a fan of anime...it's too weird. I wish games were like they used to be, back in the days of NES and SNES.

The way Cherryblossmgrl talks about this game really makes me want to try it out. Unfortunately I don't have the game systems to play it on. I'm a gamer by heart but my wallet keeps me from it :)
