Bleach gameplay reminds us: it's not coming out

We get a few emails once in a while asking us if Bleach: Heat the Soul is coming out to American or Europe. Unfortunately folks, it doesn't look to be happening yet. While Japan enjoys the fourth Heat the Soul game, we're left empty-handed. It took a couple of years for the manga to cross over, and then a few more for the anime series to make it big. Now that the franchise is finally carrying some serious clout, we're hopeful that the games will make their inevitable way to the States. Until then, let's just watch this footage of Heat the Soul 4. Impatient gamers, of course, will be tempted to simply import the title.

it's pretty import friendly, most menus are in english and while the mission mosdes objectives are in japanese most of em u can figure out by just fighting

Actually I disagree... I checked an import of the 3rd game once and it was pretty heavy on japanese text. I doubt the 4th is any different. I know it's a fighting game and all... but I kinda like to know what's goin on in a game.

Hope it gets released stateside someday!! (With jap voice option, ALA DragonBall games)

it's no dragonball, I rented from a friend who imported it and trust me, i have NO idea what's going on. especially the tag-team (not really) system.

if you aren't into the series or know what's going on, STAY away. The graphics aren't that impressive anyway. This should be reserved for hardcore fans.

I bought the game and it's pretty easy to understand. The only thing that difficult is the mission mode, but there's translations of it online.

Visually, this game is pretty amazing. It's up there with some of the other really good looking games.
There are a shit-ton of characters, and they all play differently (even the several forms of Ichigo).
There seems to be quite a bit too unlock too, besides characters.

Overall, this is a pretty solid import. I imported the first one and this one is so much better...
