Persona 4 Arena at Super Arcade – Wednesday Night Fights on August 8th; Atlus and Mad Catz Sponsored Launch Tournament on August 12th

To celebrate the upcoming North American release of Atlus and Arc System Works’ Persona 4 Arena, the folks over at Level|Up Series have decided to feature the game at Wednesday Night Fights next week on August 8th. In addition to the title’s tournament, they will be hosting a special exhibition that will be broadcast during the live stream. This is a great opportunity to try out the game as well as take a look at early competition, so be sure to head out to Super Arcade or catch the stream if you’re interested.

And for those of you unable to attend, Level|Up Series will be making another announcement regarding this game in the near future, so stay tuned.

All the information you’ll need has been included below.

UPDATE – Level|Up Series also announced a special launch tournament that will take place on August 12th, sponsored by both Atlus and Mad Catz. Casual setups will be available before and after the event. Details on this second tournament have been posted below as well.

    It’s Persona BABY BABY BABY!

    Aw shit that’s my birthday.

  • FACEFLICKER

    fuuuuu only an exhibition for that week? here i thought they’d put it in the lineup. =[

    • iantothemax

      “In addition to the title’s tournament…”

      • FACEFLICKER

        aha oops i meant that they were only showcasing it (tourney and exhibition) that week and that there’s no word for it’s return to subsequent wnf

  • CyberShinobi

    This is awesome!  Glad I’ll be in MST and won’t have to stay up as long.

  • Kageromaru

    What’s a navigator? Is it that chick that appears below the health bars during matches?

    • http://twitter.com/HooliganCombo James Reilly

      A navigator is your personal commentator(it does not have to be that chick, their are numerous different ones you can choose) that talks throughout the match. Some people prefer them on while others not so much. The japanese tourney footage have players leaving them on most of the time because you can look at it as another character customization feature

      • Kageromaru

        Good info.  Thanks.

        So, this option is up for community vote, eh?  I personally think the game settings should be as close to arcade-settings as possible, but ASW games have always had a lot…and I mean A LOT of babble.  Having a navigator can prove distracting in a game like this for both the player and opponent alike.

        With all of this in mind, I’m really interested how the vote will turn out. 

  • http://twitter.com/HooliganCombo James Reilly

    Dam, their is gonna be a 24/7 stream as well on day 1. Also, gonna be busy with the single player content for like a week so i doubt i would watch much

  • Los Illuminados

    P4A will be successful. after this Level|Up  should put P4A in TRB and move marvel to WNF. that way TRB will only have P4A and KOF XIII stream. sounds good to me. oh yeah.

    • MarLonLonMilk

       Then they’d have to drop either SSF4: AE2012 or SFxT. Are you really okay with that? :p

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Almeson-Hoku-James/100000479628267 Almeson Hoku James

        I know which one I’d drop in a heart beat 

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Yan-Zhao/10516382 Yan Zhao

         - SFxT

        Was that a serious question?

    • Narcowski

       I’d rather see KoF moved to WNF than Marvel; that way WNF could remain the classic style 2D fighter night and TRB could be 100% new-school games.

      Also, dropping SFxT only makes sense really.

  • Kufuu

    I’m gonna freaking be there!! Support this game people!

  • http://twitter.com/GrSchu Greg S

    Sick game, hope it attracts others besides the Blazblue crowd. 

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000504766571 Milton O’Bannon

      persona and GG players are getting into it as well.

  • Violent_Soma

    I’m soo going there to support the scene although I’m going to completely suck since I haven’t gotten a chance to play it but I’m good at blazblue but not not top player good, so I hope I can pick this up without much trouble
