Fate Unlimited/Codes localized in the U.S.

I never thought that it would make it over to our shores but its true; Fate Unlimited/Codes is making its way to the U.S. for both PS2 and PSP.

For those of you wonder what is Fate/Unlimited Codes, let me explain. Fate began as an eroge in Japan that had multiple scenarios depending on how you played your game. Those scenarios involved the same characters but what happens in the story and the outcome vary greatly. The PC game was a success that it spawned a prequel, light novels, manga, an anime series and a number of games. This is the first of the games to be localized in other countries.

The main character is Shiro Emiya, a boy who gets involved in the Holy Grail War in modern day Japan. Magus (something like a wizard) compete by summoning servants to do battle against each other; the last one standing will be able to obtain the Holy Grail which can grant any one wish. The catch is that the servants they summon are not typical monsters but epic heroes from history's past of future. Shiro becomes unwillingly involved in the tournament when he summons the strongest servant; Saber.
Before I begin let me say one thing: HOLY S**T!! I never thought this game would make it to our side of the world. I have played this game, my friend imported the Japanese version and I think I enjoy it more than he does.

This is a game for all the hardcore fighting fans and anime fans out there; its extremely technical and it punishes players for mistakes with endless combo potential. It can be extremely frustrating yet fun; with the attention it received in Japan, this game became an instant tournament hit. Oh, did I mention it was published by Capcom.

The release date is unknown for now; if you like anime, check out the series (anime or manga, it's worth the money!) Check out what the fuss is about here.

Chris if anything is incorrect, please don't hit me. T_T

[Edit: There has been some changes to the release of Fate Unlimited/Codes. It will be released in the U.S. but only as a downloadable game for the PSP. It will be priced at $29.99. Once again, Capcom makes me cry myself to sleep.]
