Video: Bleach: Heat the Soul 4 trailer

Most of us in the US have probably not caught on to the whole Bleach craze in Japan, but everyone across the continents have heard about it at one point or another, which hints to just how popular the anime series is. In any case, Bleach: Heat the Soul 4  came to the Sony PlayStation Portable in Japan last May 24 and it's a nice-looking fighting game with a lot of eye-candy special effects and fierce Eastern spirit-brawling.



The Bleach HTS game line-up has been around for quite some time now and some controversy was noted in Japan as some fans complained that the people at SCEJ were milking the franchise money cow more than it should. Still, the games continue to sell because of the immense popularity of the title and the nice quality of the PSP game tie-ins.

An exact release date for the US is still up in the air but there's long been talk of doing a full-English version of the game similar to what was done with some Naruto titles, but everything's still blurry at this point. We'll keep you posted for more developments as they happen.

» about that...

We did say that the game has already been released in Japan last May 24. That could be found in the first paragraph. :)

I defiantly like BHTS4 over the third one.

The fighting system is cleaner in general, less spamming cheap special moves, expanded character list.

But a bummer, they cut quite a bit of the videos out.

» Yeah, i got it so what?

I got BHTS 4 too, I unlocked all the crap and I'm left with nothing. It comes with almost no replay value except for when you hookup with your buddies to play some tournies and stuff. And people that didn't play any HTS from HTS 3, shouldn't take about cheap spamming moves, cause in 2, and 1, if you were to hit an enemy with a special, your reiatsu gauge wouldn't even go down a bit.



But that's beside the point.



Even if it were to come out as a full release in the U.S. almost no one would want to buy it. the English voice actors are crap. Every single male character sounds exactly the same. And how hard is it to say Kon(con). The voice actors call him Cone.
