Words: |
It's not very likely that I'll ever play the original
version of Arcana Heart 2, since it's limited to Japanese
arcades and an overseas version is difficult to come by. But that's okay. The good news
is... I did get a chance
to play and review the two sequels that released after Arcana Heart 2...
those titles being Arcana Heart 2: Suggoi! and Arcana Heart 3.
