Coming To America: Project X Zone & One Piece Pirate Warriors 2

We knew the next entry in Koei's brawl-em-all would eventually hit our shores over here in N. America, but here we go again.. One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 be only available for the PS3 via Playstation Network. I actually really would love a physical release so I could play it at my friends house. Hell, I still have to review the first game. >.> This second entry in the series brings back everything you know and love from the first game and includes new versions of Luffy and his crew as well as characters missing from the first game such as Eneru and the Skypiea Arc. Hopefully it either got rid of or vastly improved the phoned-in platforming of the first game. Sorry Vita owners, if you want to play the Vita version you need to import it. Warrior game release dates are pretty predictable, so expect this game to be download-ready sometime past October 2013.

Still wish they would give us a physical release..

Another great Japanese game is hitting the USA. One that I honestly did not think would make it here. Project X Zone for the 3DS is a RPG that crosses generations of characters from Namco/Bandai, Sega, and Capcom. Like games such as Super Robot Wars and Shonen Jump Superstars that had issues making it outside Japan, Projectt X Zone brings over 50 characters from the three companies together in a fight against some random darkness that probably won't be as memorable as the characters that you get to see. This game looks great despite the fact that it did not sell to expectations. I look forward to a nice 3DS RPG that will star characters from games that may never come to America. Looking at you VC3. -.-;
The 'X' is read as "cross." I guess we should call it Project Cross Zone, which would make more sense.
