It only took until the fifth game in the series, but Sakura Wars is finally making its way outside of Japan. And we've got the screenshots to prove it!
Part dating sim, part fighting game, Sakura Wars has enjoyed massive success in Japan, spawning tons of manga, anime and, of all things, a musical.
Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love hits Europe and North America in March 2010 for Wii and PS2. We've got a bundle of new screens to stare at in the meantime in the gallery below.

I'm keeping an eye on this one
@WolfRamHeart- the Wii one also comes with a bonus disc
according to this article only the ps2 version will have the bonus disc.

I thought the series was a Strategy game? Either way, I'll definitely rent it, just for kicks.
ba ba ba ba ba ba baaaaad month do they realise this title is going to get smacked around by other major releases coming that month..... well ...... DO THEY O.o
I've been hearing of this for a while, hope its as good as it sounds. Unless the dub is bad, its not a big deal for me to have the Japanese voice track as well, so I'll prolly get the Wii version if anything.
"The Wii version include a single layer disc featuring only English voices. "
Ew.
puts PS2 version on to buy-list
@Objection_Blaster: Tell me a video game that doesn't start with "Metal Gear" that had a good dub.
I highly doubt this one will succeed here. Most people will shrug and move along.
i can't wait the series been around for so long yet this is the first real N/A release
huh, I thought Sakura Wars was an adult visual novel
Adamant: FFX and XII, Xenosaga Trilogy, Trauma Center: New Blood to start.
@WolfRamHeart Actually I heard the PS2 version was going to come with English and Japanese discs but will be $10 more than the Wii version which will be only the English disc.
@dbolt: Ta for that. Its stupid that the PS2 version is superior when they should both come with Japanese and English voice tracks.
Back on the topic of the announcement. Anything classified as part dating sim/part fighting game gets my attention.
Not sure which version I will be buying yet but I am definitely looking forward to this game.
