Lovers of cute girls and 2D fighting games rejoice! Zen United has finally confirmed they will be bringing over EXAMU’s Arcana Heart 3 for the Playstation 3 and XBOX360 to European shores. The game officially came out 2 weeks ago in Japan and ranked #6 in Japan’s Top 10 sales in its first week! I was a huge fan of the first game and after the horrendous porting job of the second game, this is certainly something to celebrate. Don’t think just because it features an all girls cast doesn’t mean it’s to be taken lightly. It regularly make appearances at Japan’s prestigious yearly fighting game tournament, Super Battle Opera!


NeoEmpire has an interview with Geraint Evan,Zen United’s Marketing Manager, discussing the details of the announcement here. Unfortunately there is no concrete release date yet, however preorders sites have listed it as June 2011 so take it with a grain of salt.

While our European brethren throw a party, we should keep crossing our fingers for an North American release! If you want to see it stateside, there is a petition on Aksys’s forum here!
