Arcana Heart brings the love today for $29

Don’t forget that Arcana Heart was released today. The console version of the game will allow players to choose between the “original” and “full” versions of the game, while also giving the option to pit “original” version characters against their “full” version counterparts. Unfortunately Atlus removed the Japanese dialog in story mode, so if you’re a purist, you’re better off importing.

Don’t wait though — Given Atlus’ history, Expect that it will be near impossible to find at retail shortly after it hits.

Of course, seeing as Arcana Heart 2 is already playing in Japanese arcades, you can opt to pickup the JAMMA version. Or you could wait. But can you? It’s a hard decision, you need something new for your arcade cabinet, don’t you?

Here’s hoping that Melty Blood Act Cadenza (メルティブラッド) gets a US release as well!,

From the Manufacturer
Beyond our world lies that of the Elemental beings, the Arcana. These mighty spirits offer their abilities to the Maidens, those rare humans who are able to communicate with them. Long ago, our worlds were connected. However, the two worlds unexpectedly split apart, and a dimensional boundary was formed between them, separating our world from the Arcana. Seeking to harness their energy, the mysterious Mildred Avalon is trying to form a rift in the boundary and merge the worlds once more. Should her plan succeed, life on our world will never be the same again. Only the Maidens, with the help of their Arcana, can prevent her from bringing an end to all humanity.
