Updated: Skullgirls gets overseas release - available in Japan on February 14

Good news. I hope the sales are good too.

I hope it does well. Japanese gamers seem to be picky when it comes to American titles.

i hope Japan brings more non-Valentine players into the mix.

Lol Nice Release Date

#5 what makes the game shallow? you obviously have played this game so let's see your educated opinion.

Seriously what fighting game doesn't have some level of fanservice?

nothing wrong with fanservice, we are all fans.

Knowing how the game is, I think this might actually do pretty well in Japan.

Whens xbox?

Didn't this game flop harder than playstation allstars?

Huh, assumed it came out around the same time we got it. Still, this is good news and hopefully it gets a bigger following in Japan for... various reasons >.>

#11 no, it didn't.

That link is the intro to the Japanese version

Skullgirls did fairly well I think, as the game was not pushed by a major publisher.

Release PC version already so I can steal it. Never would pay for a bad UMVC rip but totally worth a steal.

C´mon, its not a UMVC rip, its a rip of the good marvel. I like it.

@ #17, if you're really willing to wait almost a year and a half to steal a 15 dollar game maybe you should reassess you're priorities.

Also if skullgirls is a rip of anything, it would probably be mvc2 (a favorite of mike's) or some kind of team based darkstalkers.

@19 Wait... so because I do not wanna spend $15 on a game that doesn't look that interesting to me I need to reassess my priorities?

Sorry brah but not only did I bait you with my own troll post, you didn't even give me anything good to work with in your response. I honestly forget skullgirls even exists until eventhubs or SRK puts something up about it so no I haven't been waiting for anything, I just was happy to hear it was getting a PC release so I could give it a try, for free.

Well, you could give the demo a try. Its also free.

@11 yo, don't talk mess about all stars. That is my game, and it really, REALLY deserves more attention. Besides, the game has somewhat of a scene..

I bet you Kusoru and Nemo will be the first ones to pick up this game and start owning everyone.

cosplay potential is off the charts, don't sleep

Well, this should be good for the dev team. This seems like something Japan would be interested in.

More money = more support!

And definite cosplay overload approaching.

Valentine's poster uses Spooky logo.

CALL SPOOBY PLS

This game will probably sell as "well" as PSABR did in Japan.

#27

Yet When SG was initially released, Autumn Games got calls from Sony/Microsoft Japan about when was their release date(They thought they were getting one) because gamers were giving them angry phone calls inquiring about Skullgirls

Keep trying mate

@ 27

If Skullgirls sees as many sales as ASBR, that'll actually be pretty good for an American indie game in Japan. At least I think so.

Gamers in Japan must know about Skullgirls so they probably already know if they want it or not. Sales numbers will be pretty telling within the first month or two.

@23 I dont think you know what the kuso in kusoru means.....

lol at the 0niners saying this is a rip off a UMVC3. They took elements off actual GOOD games (GG, mv2, vampire, ect)and use those inspirations to build into this one.

20 is the reason why fighting games shouldn't go to PC. > _>

if anyone is wondering if Japan would even be interested in this game, there is a decent amount of Japanese fanart for the game. it's pretty awesome. i wouldn't be surprised if on the anime side, people pick it up just for the characters. and who knows about FG players, so fickle. ~w~
