Agatsuma Entertainment, the team behind Guardian Heroes, recently released action-RPG title Code of Princess in Japan on the Nintendo 3DS.  The title has done reasonably well in its homeland and now Atlus are bringing it to America.

The game promises to mix action with RPG elements, allowing you to battle it out Streets of Rage style while also upgrading and improving your characters.  The characters in question, as you may have noticed from the screenshots, tend to be of the endowed female persuasian.  

Using the Nintendo Network Code of Princess will allow you and up to three others take part in challenges together, either locally or online.  In addition to this you can all battle each other if you are not feeling particularly friendly.

There is no word yet about whether or not Code of Princess will be released in Europe and currently the American release date is just set as "fall".

Speaking about the news that Atlus will bring Code of Princess to America, Tim Pivnicny, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, said the following:

“Fans of action will savor the game’s combat, which is loaded with satisfying chain attacks and plenty of depth–both in terms of attack options and also quite literally in the sense that battlefields employ a three-railed design, letting players move forward and back as tactics dictate. Fans of RPGs will relish the ability to level and improve their characters, converting their gained experience into boosts for the stats that best suit their play style and tactics. This appealing amalgam of game designs is wrapped in a beautiful package, boasting lovingly rendered and animated characters and eye-catching flurries of punches and kicks. With something for virtually every kind of old-school gamer and with an esteemed pedigree to draw upon, Code of Princess is certain to be one of the most anticipated Nintendo 3DS games of the year.”

Screenshots from the game can be found in the gallery.  Expect more information about this title in the coming months.
