Yatagarasu is a 2D fighting game which has been developed for over four years by a three man team at the development house Circle Edge, whose past experience includes games such as King of Fighters. The game's Art direction is handled by an artist named Styleos, game design and balance is by ex-SNK designer Umezono and the game engine was created by Shiza. The game was originally released as a Japan exclusive in 2011.

Yatagarasu features eight playable characters, both single and 2-player modes, training and replay modes, four-button attack system with a parry system, and classic 2D hand drawn sprites.

Hmmm... interesting. I'll be keeping an eye out for this one!

For those not in the know, it's more of a spiritual successor to SF3:Third Strike. It has hilarious unlockable commentators, including KSK, Kokujin, and motherfucking Tokido. I'm pretty sure I want to play it on anything but a portable system.

That's exactly what I thought, too, Ty. Looks like a decently serious fighter... BUT on a handheld. Ugh.

With that said, I still can't wait to give it a go.
