Akatsuki Denkou Senki - Naomi Cartridge Preorder

Preorders were opened up a couple of days ago for the Naomi version of Akatsuki Denkou Senki, the latest doujin 2D fighter to make the transition from humble PC to full blown coin-op glory. The game features a motley assortment of characters, lots of blood, and fast-paced action fraught with juggles, combos, cancels, and EX attacks. To cap it all, the cast includes a leggy ginger named Marilyn Sue along with a gun-toting nun dubbed Anonym who's bullets ricochet for added attack strategies.

The game looks great but we're still undecided if we'll order a copy for our own collection. First off, the PC version can be had for about $30 nowadays and there's a bunch of recent boards we've acquired that still haven't been plugged in yet. Ever have one of those buying binges where you scoop up games that catch your eye but then you never have the time to play them? That's how we are at this point.

Pricing for Akatsuki Denkou Senki is set at JPY188,000 or US$1795 from NCS which includes shipping directly from Japan to any location in the world by way of Express Mail Service which is trackable and insured. Delivery is expected on or around February 28, 2008 and preorders are welcome.
