According to French retailer Cultura, we'll soon get the chance to experience the 2D fighter Arcana Heart 3: Love Max Six Stars!!!!!! on our Switch consoles. The store listed upcoming ports for Nintendo's console and Sony's PS4, with a September 30th release date. The listings have since been removed, however.
Originally released in arcades way back in December 2014 in Japan, Arcana Heart 3: Love Max Six Stars!!!!!! hit Steam in 2017 and an update – which introduces new playable characters Pistrix and Dark Heart – is in development at the time of writing.
Our pals over at Push Square reviewed the slightly older Arcana Heart 3: Love Max on the PS Vita back in 2014 and gave it 7/10, stating that "there’s no doubt that Arcana Heart 3 is a bit of a niche proposition, but it provides extremely enjoyable combat that rivals the smoothness of more well-known brawlers."
Will you be picking this one up, if it does indeed make its way to Switch?

Coulda sworn I heard about this a few months ago but ok. Either way all fighting games end up on my switch. Buying.
Too late. Just bought this on Vita. Why has it taken these suckas so long?
At first i thought the news poster was just really excited @Damo 😄
So we have another contender for the Weird/Long Titles brawlout....
@Ryu_Niiyama You probably heard someone in Japan reading the name and taking the six exclamation marks very serious. They might have been fired for leaking it too early to the world.
Despite indeed having it on Vita (ah, the days when a PS Store sale like Big in Japan could see you off with up to 8 delicious library updates), I intend to double-dip here as well. All the moreso with extra characters factoring in. Don't seek logic in a bias - Vita and 3DS are amazing, but Switch is Switch.😄
@ZeldaFanboy78 I've seen a HG101 article on a game called Dinosaur that goes straight to the point in the first sentence: "There are no dinosaurs in Dinosaur"
Wait is this the fighting game that featured Riesz (from Trials of Mana) as a guest fighter? I don't see her anywhere on them screenshots.
@Damo I appreciate your commitment to the exclamation marks. Thank you, sir
I've never quite gotten used to the controls for games like these because the middle attack is a bit awkward whether I set it to the top or bottom button on a diamond pattern gamepad (like X or B on a Switch Joy-con for example). I might pick this up if it comes to Switch though; if there are any all-female fighting games on this platform, they've flown under my radar.
@Ghost_of_Hasashi Unless she's been in recently then not Arcana Heart, she is in the Million Arthur game on PS4 which is from same team (or similar), never localized sadly. Fun fighter though.
@DrDaisy SNK Heroines is on the Switch, but that game sucks.
@Kanbolara One of the characters male cross-dresser.
I would rather have more AH fighters announced for BBTAG but this is cool too, even though I already have it on my Vita.
@BeautyandtheBeer Oh it's called Million Arthur: Arcana Blood. Guess I thought of the wrong game simply because of the Arcana name on it. Oh well maybe we'll get that one on Switch someday I hope.
I remember this from the PS3/PS Vita days. Or rather reading about it. Think I'll probably go for it.
@DrDaisy He was just a DLC character. The base game is an all-female fighting game.
I guess even half explaining what the game is, is too hard for these writers. Lazy.
Yeet! So pretty much all the stuff I liked about the Vita is here on Switch now: Guilty Gear Accent Core + R, BlazBlue, and Ninja Gaiden!
Now if only they'd add Metal Gear Solid 1-3, I'd have everything...
I'll buy it. Does it come with a mode to let me see what happened in the 1st & 2nd one. I haven't played those two yet.
@trueshred Can I point you in the direction of our community rules? Because you just broke them, and there won't be a second warning.
If anyone is reading this, this port sadly never came to be, I have it on Steam but it’s still too bad this series hasn’t made it back to consoles.
