Bleach 4 Release Date Revealed

Import/Anime lovers rejoice because the fourth installment of the Bleach Fighting handheld series hits Japan this week! If some are not aware what Bleach is than fear not, I have the lowdown for yea here. However, if you're thirst for knowledge is too vast than listen up. Bleach is a story about a teenager named Ichigo Kurosaki who became a shinagami which are samurai Grim Reapers. Simply put a young man with an awesome ability battling the forces of evil to save the innocent souls of the living and the dead. Crazy is it not?

Playstation.com(Japan) has an official site found first by PSPfanboy in early February. One thing important I like to mention is the new battle system called "Seoul Blaze" Which from what I seen adds a more powerful finishing move than the prequels. A rumor mole says you have to hit a certain button sequence for this to work well which brings a nice challenge too it. If you want an in-depth look at some of the moves you can visit "Battle System Viewer". You can choose from six characters to view their finisher.

So far these are the characters confirmed:

• Ichigo Kurosaki
• Shuhei Hisagi
• Ulquiorra
• Ikkaku Madarame
• Yumichika Ayasegawa
• Grimmjow Jaggerjaw
• Hirako Shinji
• Hiyori Sarugaki

Also new to the series is the ability to play as the Vizards. The skinny on Vizards are rogue shinigamis that defeated their inner hollows which make them more powerful than shinigamis'. I am very impressed with the dedication of the developers since this games debut in early fall 2005. They kept the sequels fluid and very entertaining. So Bleach fanatics look for this title at your local import stores or sites this Wednesday. As always stay frosty!
