New Website for Sugoi by Examu: http://www.examu.co.jp/sugokana2/
Yes, yet a 2nd patch is coming for this game. Not much info is known aside from this picture for now. 2 new characters at least (Nazuna and Akane) So that means at least 2 new Arcanas. Hopefully balance changes are coming?

April fools, right?

It's way too soon. For the US at least.

[Hayama Akito]

April fools, right?

It's way too soon. For the US at least.

[polarity]

[Hayama Akito]

The magazine will be released in September 29, now with the Akatsuki stuff, i really want to see this.

[Saotome Kaneda]

so is this getting locked until theres real info like every other speculation thread or.....

Arcadia is a solid source for all things arcade in Japan. So no, it will not be getting closed.

[Hyperhal]

you'd probably still drop combos and fuck up pentagram

I don't know about dropping combos, but messing up pentagram is a staple in Hyperhal's playstyle. :(

[Ryo Yamazaki]

akatsuki arcade??

*cock explodes*

[poonage]

The existence of the game was confirmed months ago, the Arcana Heart Mook interview said that they were definitely making Arcana Heart 2. We also knew that they were planning to get Part 2 into SBO 2008 as soon as they rushed AH Full! into SBO this year (so that people wouldn't think it was a shitty game/series when they watched).

[G.O.T]

New Arcana Heart 2:

NOW FEATURING PENIS

Now everyone can play!
