Trivia / Battle Fantasia

• Dueling Games: The home console version had the great misfortune to come out alongside Street Fighter IV.
• Executive Meddling:
  • The game was planned to be a traditional 2D sprite based fighting game but was decided that it had to use 3D graphics instead, since Arc System Works didn't have a 3D game by the time.
  • The addition of the Heat Up system. Arc System Works were afraid that the game was too different from their normal formula, they asked for a mode that could allow more Combos options, leading to the Heat Up system which adds more depth and also more variety in gameplay since it's unique for every character.
• Screwed by the Network: The American PlayStation 3 release was delayed over a year and forced to go download-only because SCEA does not allow retail discs without English voice acting.
