NIS America: X Edge coming to US

Move it from “extremely likely” to “absolutely”. We finally have some confirmation on the future of Nippon Ichi Software’s PS3 title X Edge. Details after the jump.

In an interview with RPGamer, a NIS America rep mentioned that they are indeed planning to bring the PS3 title X Edge to North America. A release date has yet to be finalized, but the rep said that NIS America is currently tracking a March 2009 release.

X Edge (pronounced Cross Edge) is an RPG title that brings together characters from games by Capcom, Nippon Ichi, Namco Bandai, Gust, and Idea Factory. It’s kinda like Chaos Wars, only hopefully this one won’t have the atrocious voice acting. Hey, even if it did, I’d still buy it if they leave the Japanese voices in it.

Anyway, here are a couple of videos of the game. The opening riffs in the PV rock (the song is Blade of Tears, by the way), and after that comes a gameplay vid.

• Prinny on the loose – gets drunk, gets beheaded, and gets an official site
