Anime Teaser:
“I should clarify that this information is in regards to North America, which was announced during the Keiji Inafune and Inti Creates panel at this year’s Anime Expo. As for Europe there hasn’t been any word or information regarding if the pack will be available soon. Seeing how the pack was recently rated over in Australia, other releases could be set to hit other regions, too.
In case you aren’t familiar with Azure Striker Gunvolt, it plays out similar to Mega Man or Gunstar Heroes. Using shields to deflect enemy fire, running and gunning down various threats and bosses like old 1990’s 2D games all form the game’s core mechanics, and play a huge part in Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker.”
