If your jaws are still on the floor from Bandai Namco Games' announcement of a western release for the Shonen Jump fighting game crossover Jump Stars Victory Vs.+, you might be better off not scraping your teeth from the ground just yet - because in a blog post, Sony have confirmed another anime-themed fighting crossover is coming to the west: SEGA's Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax.

Featuring an array of characters from ASCII Media Works' Dengeki Bunko Imprint, including Sword Art Online's Kirito, A Certain Magical Index's Mikoto Misaka and Durarara!!'s Shizuo Heiwajima, the arcade fighter will be released in both physical digital formats for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita systems in North America, with a digital-only release in Europe.

Originally released in arcades last March, the console port was released in Japanese in November 2014.

J-Stars Victory Vs.+ happening was one thing, but I never thought I'd see this.
 
Will definitely be grabbing this for Vita - shame it'll be digital only though. Incredible either way though - I can't wait to play it.

I've noticed that SEGA are more hesitant with the European market than they are with the North American one. For example, their release of Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F was digital-only in Europe, but available for retail in North America. As subsequent games have been on disc too, Hatsune Miku likely proved itself but I can see why they might be hesitant with this.
 
I'll import it at some point. Sony EU takes the pee with digital prices. They can afford to sell them much cheaper due to lack of production costs, distributor etc but they still price them higher than the physical market. Pure greed.

I'm sure they encourage digital only because it allows a monopoly on the product.
 
If you want a psychical copy of it then you could always import the American release; may work out 'bit more' expensive but the option is there.
