SEGA Japan's Twitter page showed us the first character pictures for the game;

Game is confirmed to be a RTS. Suppose they needed something other than Sangoku Taisen for their arcade RTS title in Japan.

I agree, it's clearly going to be a Batman game.

Too bad, it isn't. Better luck next time.

Sega's going a bit RTS crazy lately. With this new JOKER game, the whole promise of WARHAMMER RTS games and now COMPANY OF HEROES with Relic also being brought, you'd think there was some sort of goldrush or something.

They look like Shina Megami characters, which is a good thing to me.

Again, too bad we won't ever see this in the West.

So right now we have Sangoku Taisen, Total War and Company of Heroes. Expecting in future Warhammer fantasy, Warhammer 40k and Code of Joker, kings of the RTS genre at this rate.

Heh I feel the opposite.

Isn't anyone else surprised to see an RTS Arcade game? Is this a first?

Nah. SEGA already has an arcade RTS series currently active called Sengoku Taisen and its one of their most successful arcade title, obviously not as indepth as say Total War but it does fall under as a RTS.

I doubt too many of us would be interested in this title being brought over though.

im kinda surprised actually. it isnt really something to put in an arcade. well i wont propogate my opinion but when i think of arcade its racing skating rowboating shooting. i was allready surprised by that shining serie let alone an RTS

[Trippled]

I guess this is similar as to how Quest of D got it's spiritual successor with Shining Force Cross.

Again, too bad we won't ever see this in the West.

These games are so aimed at Asian Markets, I doubt anyone will really care. They always made those kinda games.

But Total War isn't an RTS! FFFFFFFFF

Well SENGOKU TAISEN is a spin off of SANGOKUSHI TAISEN which people kept calling romance of the three kingdom wars.As far as i know that's still going on. And add Sega's oldest RTS series ADVANCED DAISENRYAKUKU its a full house. Wonder if Sega's brave enough to let VALYKRIA be turned into a RTS considering they have the talent pool now to make a good game of it.

Fine, resource management turn based real time battles strategy, happy?!?

Designing a console RPG with those characters would probably be quite nifty, ah well, such is life and so on.
