Busou Shinki Battle Masters - PSP Game coming 7/15/10

Current Observations:
Strarf Mk2's Armor has Hands that can open and Close.
Arnval Mk2 is using a weapon of hers that was forgotten.
Both Mk2s seemed to have been changed to MMS3rd bodies.
Both look to be Konami Style Exclusives.
Game looks to be a Free Roam Zone of Enders battle style. Looks like Limited to Three Weapons with Charge timers on each or limited amount of Ammo that eventually recharges. Which would work well as you can have one button for a Jump/Flight Options or the Shoulder Buttons can be used for such. Also looks to be in Arena Battles.
Outside of Battle it looks like a 2D Adventure/Investigation Phase where you travel around from location to location to either upgrade, save or discover new information.
Next Magazine is BLADE focused.
A new Manga is coming out called Busou Shinki ZERO. Slight chance it may be a prequel to Battle Masters, but that's my speculations.
Mao and Howling are in their 2032 Designs.
I am so buying them both, my wallet cries.

Does this mean a re-release of Mao and Howling as well? HMMMMM.

I need to ask an honest question here: Would it be wrong to order yet another Arnval when I have two already? Same goes for Strarf...'cos regardless of Konamistyling stuff, those two look amazing. Is it wrong to have so much same-same in one collection?

No, it isn't wrong. *Has Three Strarfs, Three Arnvals, Two Zelnogrards, Two Winged Fubukis, Two Howlings, Two Asukas and Five Murmeltiers* It's called devotion and love to a line.

Also Larger Picture for the Mark 2s.

New Observation:
From my tired mind and limited understanding, it sounds as if there might be a Game and Set. Don't like the sound of that. Anyway, someone with better understanding (and a less tired mind) give a better translation. I'm completely out.

Created a new topic (and moved the original post mentioning them) for the Mk 2 figures. Please use that one to discuss them. Leave this one for the game itself.

ZoE? That could well for me. Having never played it, could you describe it. From everything I've seen, it looks sort of like a faster Armored Core.

I wouldnt have minded a Tactical RPG either.

take the faster paced AC games (like 4 and 4Answer), speed then up a bit more, and put them in space. ZoE has probably the best 360 degree space combat in gaming. think Ace Combat, but with mechs.

ok, I don't care if figures come with it or not, this game is so getting pre-ordered the minute I find out it's possible.

any HQ scans around? the in-game screens in the current images dont show too much.....

[Hylian Pirate]

Free roam with flight capabilities whilst I'm kicking ass as one of my favorite mecha gals with awesome combat at close and long range? Hell. ****ing. Yes. Count me right the **** in. Count me in for two if that's what it takes to get Arnval and Strarf MKII. This may be the most epic PSP title ever.

Updated Page

Bottom of Page.
"Konami Style Limited
Busou Shinki Battle Master Gamesoft, Arnval Mk2 and Strarf Mk2 figures (Can't read all the Kanji)
Reservations will Start Soon!"

Along with that, the game looks to be built exactly as I thought it was, feels good.

Anyway, game play also can support up to a maximum of four players at a time.
We'll also have more or less the same set up in terms of stats like in Battle Rondo.
Notable difference is being able to see the "Charm/Charisma" stat.
There is a Time limit.
Each Weapon is Assigned to a Button, X is probably Jump, One of the Shoulders is Boost, the other might be activate Tension.
Rank is now organized by Number.
REMEMBER THESE ARE IN ALPHA OR BETA BUILDS AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
