« Skullgirls Hits Japanese Arcades Via Way of Taito's NESiCA »

In case you haven't already heard something truly amazing has happened for the folks at Lab Zero Games as their amazing game Skullgirls is now going to be available for Japanese arcade players via Taito's NESiCA platform. This is truly amazing as they are probably the first and only American-made fighting game to be widely available in Japan on the NESiCA. This is confirmed by the official Skullgirls twitter and by Lab Zero Games CEO Peter Bartholow showing his excitement on NeoGAF.

This is a great milestone for American developers and will help them gain even more players from beyond the pond as Japan has shown great interest and respect for Skullgirls. Also as a quick reminder the Skullgirls side tournament at Evolution 2013 is still alive and well and are taking pre-registration so be sure to sign up here. With the recent parity updates, now large availability and soon to be released PC version and it's amazing GGPO net code you all should definitely get in practice mode and bulk up on Skullgirls because there will definitely be a lot of tough competition out there.
