Sakura Wars set for March 2010

NIS America has revealed that Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love for Wii (and PS2) is currently set for a release on March 23, 2010.

The year 2010 marks the arrival of the highly anticipated PS2 & Wii SRPG Sakura Wars. NIS America has announced that Sakura Wars will be hitting stores on March 23, 2010. For long time fans of Sakura Wars and SRPG fans, the PS2 premium box version will include a special art book, poster, and a collector's item outer cover. The PS2 premium box version will also come with a double dual layered disc, each featuring the respective voiceovers of either English or Japanese. If you are looking for a killer bargain though, the Wii version will be a single dual layered disc with English voiceovers. This version does not contain the bonus items, but will be offered at an attractive price point.

Sakura Wars is a Strategy RPG that features a unique, sim-based story system. An in-depth storyline exists, much like in any other RPG; however, the player's destiny in the game is not predetermined. Character interaction plays a major role, and your responses to the various characters in the game can ultimately change the story content and even the final outcome.

The battle system is divided into two main parts; ground combat and air combat. Ground combat takes place using two-legged mechanized suits, which transform into jet fighters to take the fight to the sky. Every mechunit in the game can transform from battle mechmode to jet fighter mode during combat. Once transformed, weapons and movement methods will change as well. For example, the hero's ground mode utilizes a sword as his main weapon, but in jet mode he will use long-range missiles.
