Battle Fantasia Coming To PS3 As A PSN Download? (News)

Feb 7, 2009

Last year Aksys brought Battle Fantasia to North America, but it was only for Xbox 360s here. Strangely, a PS3 version of Battle Fantasia exists - an English version of Battle Fantasia. Europe got it thanks to 505 Games.

Battle Fantasia hands-on (Preview)

Jul 2, 2008

With publisher Aksys prepared to announce a US release this weekend, we thought the time was right for a hands-on with this fantasy-themed fighter from the minds who created the Guilty Gear series. Battle Fantasia is a hodgepodge of fairytale characters living in a magical kingdom and beating the stuffing out of each other. Think of what it might be like if your favorite cutesy RPG characters had a big meeting and decided they'd rather be in a 2D face-basher like Street Fighter - that's what it's like. The sixteen fighters come straight out of a storybook, including a rabbit dressed as a wizard, a cat-girl, several sorceresses, one big, round Viking and at least one pirate. ...
