I do think there's a chance that this will be a break out hit and maybe sell a couple million in the west, but honestly I don't think this really has the ingredients of a big hit. I think it's possible only because it may have good enough arcade combat, and maybe the online being free will make it what it wasn't to Japanese gamers (Japanese gamers being more handheld oriented these days). But a focus on local multiplayer and great motion controls would be more what the expanded audience is looking for.
A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
