Some claim here CoP is a ripoff of GH, and some will hate CoP for the ultra-animu style. Still, it's only $40 pre-order on Amazon and I hope this game doesn't take itself too seriously (like Kid Icarus Uprising). And this is coming from a guy who doesn't play video games that much anymore.

Pre-ordered.

Yep. Every stage from GH is copied verbatim, right down to the bar you start out in.

CoP is a ripoff of GH

In English?

Ninja edit: Ah, google tells me you mean Guardian Heroes.

[Op Intensify]

Nope, it's a ripoff of Guitar Hero

I will say that not all ripoffs are bad IMO.

[null1024]

At least they picked something good to rip off.

Not sure if want so far, but it looks strikingly like GH, which helps its chances.

[CMoon]

Well since it is by some of the developers of Guardian Heroes its hard to say this is a bad thing.

This is the beginning of a huge wave of Atlus 3DS titles that is unfortunately going to force me to buy the stupid system.

Shin Megami Tensei 4
Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers
Etrian Odyssey 4.

Fuck! I'm not even ready for Etrian Odyssey 4. Why does Atlus have to body-check me every now and then.

It has Kinu Nishimura designs so it's already much better than GH in that regard. Hope it plays well.

Ehhhh, I'm not a fan of GH and I think this looks worse. It's good to see more bmups though - now there's a dead genre.

There's also the ongoing Dynasty Warriors series.

I was incredibly annoyed that it was only announced for release in NA but thankfully it seems its coming for Europe too

Got anything against Cool Character Creator HAN?

Also, this game is enough of a ripoff that it's bordering on being an inferior remake. Which no one needed at all, especially not with the excellent XBLA port of GH. This is going to sell solely on the ecchilicious female character designs and the reputation of the game it swiped from.

How many times does it need to be said that the game shares several key staff with GH. People are allowed to rip themselves off - it's just a shame they are in this case, because GH wasn't all that.

Cave is a poor Toaplan rip off.

[Op Intensify]

Cave never made anything that was such a blatant clone of a game from their staff's previous company. Even DonPachi was radically different from Batsugun in many ways.

We're getting anime boobs in 3D that run around beating up other 3D boobs. Christ, you guys hate goofy fun, don't you?

It also has some sort of quest mode and multiplayer features for said quests, so maybe that will add some replay value. That and you can acquire equipment of some sort, so maybe you can come up with ridiculous game-breaking equipment combos. It sounds fun.

Goofy fun is my #1 nemesis.

All this talk of the game being a clone of Guardian Heroes made me do a little research. This video shows off some of the basic combat system maneuvers, and this shows off some actual combat, which looks pretty solid. I don't recall Guardian Heroes being so combo-heavy, but then again I could have been playing Guardian Heroes and Advance Guardian Heroes ten kinds of wrong.

[drauch]

I don't see why it matters. Hell, we're lucky to see a game like this in the first damned place.

[CMoon]

Yup.

[Op Intensify]

It's always been that way. GH already allowed for long combos, and the simple fluidity of AGH's controls accentuated this. Remix mode in the XBLA port of GH adds fuckin' roman cancels. Also, team combos can theoretically go on forever.

but then again I could have been playing Guardian Heroes and Advance Guardian Heroes ten kinds of wrong.

You were.

[mrsmiley381]

Cool. Now that I know I was playing some beat 'em ups wrong I can go back and replay them to learn something new, then I can more accurately compare them to Code of Princess when it comes in the mail. Who wants to group together? Domino, CMoon, me, and we need a fourth person for our 3D boob-punch-combo simulator. Drauch?

If there is an incredibly homoerotic character that is who I will play.

[drauch]

Anything with boobs I am usually game for.

[CMoon]

OK! Now this thread is going somewhere.

Uuuuuooooooooo. Sexy time with Ash baby! Let all of us be in a room full of strong muscle men and see what happens.


On topic: I'm so down for group play when the game comes out. If you haven't post your 3DS friends code yet please go here:

There's only three of us for 3DS players.

Can you play online with people from different regions? Somehow I seriously doubt it. That's part of the whole region-locking business.
