Due to the lack of space and to keep the original voice acting, NIS America is releasing Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love on 2 disks for $39.99.

I'm definitely going to support this. Now I just need to know if the Wii version will be good and allow them to bring the rest of the series over when they can't bring over anymore PS2 games, otherwise I'll just get the PS2 version.

Like most Wii/PS2 games, the Wii version is better. I'll be picking this up on the Wii for sure. It is cool that they wanted to include both languages so badly, but lets just hope the voice acting is on par with their other games.

That doesn't make this game any less "sent to die."  Especially because it's apparently one of the lesser Sakura Taisen games. :\

Yay! I'm buying this day one, if just to support it.

"but out of all the Sakura Taisen games this is also suppose to be the closest to Valkyria Chronicles in terms of gameplay. "

Wrong! This is a 4 y/o PS2 game being ported to the Wii, and like most PS2 to Wii ports, the PS2 version is better (also, there's no way for either of us to know since the Wii version isn't even out yet).

I've heard that as well. It wouldn't surprise me, actually, since it's done by the same development team. "

Based upon? if the wii version has more stuff then the wii version is better, from what im seeing the wii and ps2 version are exactly the same so they are both equal. "

"Based on nothing. That's why I said there's no way to know because the Wii version isn't out yet.However, the PS2 and Wii version of Okami certainly weren't equal and the PS2 version was the clear winner IMO. There's a lot you can screw up when you port a game, and even additional content doesn't always make up for that (also, I'm pretty sure the Wii version is an identical port). "

If this game enjoys mild success, do you think they may consider localizing more games in the series? Also, does anyone have a hard release date? It says 2009 right now, and that could mean just the fiscal 2009, which stretches into march i believe.
