Guilty Gear coming to handhelds

By Ellie Gibson Published 30 January, 2006

DS and PSP titles out this spring.

Majesco has announced that old days fighting series Guilty Gear is coming to Sony PSP and Nintendo DS.

Guilty Gear Judgment (sic) combines two games on one UMD - along with arcade fighter Guilty Gear X2 Reload, you get 18 levels of brand new side-scrolling action to play through.

There are 20 classic Guilty Gear characters to contend with, including Sol Badguy, Potemkin, May and Dizzy, and special moves include Psych Burst, Dust Attack and Roman Cancel. Two players can battle it out in wireless multiplayer mode.

Nintendo DS title Guilty Gear Dust Strikers features 21 fighters, and apparently their "intertwining stories reveal all-new insights into each character's personality and past."

There are six modes, including Arcade, Story and VS Battle, and seven touch screen mini-games to have a pop at. You can customise your special moves in the Robo Ky Factory, and go head to head with up to three other players in multiplayer mode.

Both Guilty Gear Judgment and Guilty Gear Dust Strikers are due out this spring.

    "Guilty Gear Reloaded"? Way to rub salt in a PSP-owners wounds. Sounds better than "Guilty Gear Loading...", I suppose.

    Guilty Gear Dust Strikers? Why does every DS game have to have DS as its initials!!! guilty gear Dust Strikers, ahhh!!!!

  • Machetazo #3 6 years ago

    I already have X2:Reload (and i've yet to find a reason to bother with PSP) but Dust Strikers seems like it could be worth a look.

    "18 levels of side-scrolling action"
    That'd be the new (and non-annoying) bit of Isuka, then?

    That seems to be Nintendo's thing. Remember all SuperXYZ games on SNES, all XYZ64 games on Nintendo64?

    I wonder if this will support infrastructure mode. It kind of irritates me that 99% of the games with multiplayer modes are geared towards ad-hoc only. I don't know anyone else with a PSP around here, so that leaves me stuck on singleplayer :(

    Just to be a pedant

    "Judgment (sic)"

    errr... What's wrong with that spelling? I thought you could spell it with or without the extra "e"


    Ah well, looking forward to Dust Strikers, DS lineup is looking a little thin atm

    Guilty Gear on the psp takes about as long as the PS2 counterpart to load, so ner

    Guilty Gear is insanely overrated imo. I played a couple of the games, and they were boring as hell. Still, at least the PSP version is a scrolling fighter, can't have too many of those imo :)
