Indie fighter Yatagarasu will be making its way to arcades for the first time next week. Starting February 12, Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm will be available for play in game centers across Japan via TAITO’s NESiCAxLive digital distribution service.
Created by three former King of Fighters developers, Attack on Cataclysm is an update to the original Yatagarasu that adds three new characters: Azure, Kotaro, and Aja. This new version comes to fruition thanks to the backing of an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, raising $118,243 of its original $68,000 goal.
With this release, Yatagarasu will join the likes of Melty Blood and Akatsuki Blitzkampf, other doujin fighting games that have made the transition to arcade. It will also eventually make its way to PC, with both Japanese and English language releases.
With the console version of Arc System Works’ Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- now available across the world, it’s time for the arcade version to see some updates.
The next patch, which bumps the title up to ver.1.1, brings console characters Sin Kiske, Elphelt Valentine, and Leo Whitefang to game centers along with balance changes for the entire cast and some slight system tweaks. This new version will be in location testing at select locations in Japan starting this Thursday and running through the weekend.
Below is excerpt of changes that will be applied for the upcoming location test. Take note the listing is not a full log of changes and that, as part of an early showing, the changes are tentative. Take a look and let us know what you think in the comments below.
