Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love coming to Wii, PS2

by Andrew Yoon { May 8th 2009 at 12:03AM }

Nippon Ichi is finally bringing the Sakura Wars series to the US. The cult anime series will be hitting US audiences as a SRPG destined for Wii and PS2. So Long, My Love promises a unique battle system divided into two parts: ground combat and air combat. In the Sakura Wars universe, it appears mechs don't just fight on the ground. No, they transform into jets that fight in the sky as well! Players will have to keep sharp as they battle enemies on these two vastly different fronts.

Developed by Idea Factory, Sakura Wars is scheduled for a US release this Fall.

...Holy shit. Ho. Lee. Shit. I LOVE the Sakura Taisen franchise, like, to death. I never, never, never, EVER thought I'd see this day. THANK YOU NIS, THANK YOU!

Man, I'd never, EVER believed I'd get to play an English Sakura Taisen game!!

I thought the series was over, though?

Anyone play the Sakura Taisen Columns game for the Dreamcast? Awesome little two-player games.

Yes! That is the best version of Columns there is! Did you know you can trick the game to run in VGA mode?

Hell yes! I usually dislike Columns a lot, but that version was fantastic. There was also a release of it on the Saturn which was almost as good.

On the topic of the game, I am mostly just surprised SEGA let them publish it. I am also shocked they are making a Wii version. Going to have to pick this game up!
