Mirai Nikki=R

Mirai Nikki=R is a fighting game developed by French-Bread (makers of Melty Blood) and published by Sega. It is loosely based on the anime and manga series Mirai Nikki and serves as a spiritual sucessor to Melty Blood, in the same vein as BlazBlue to Guilty Gear. Released for Arcade (Sega RingEdge 2), PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable and PlayStation Vita. As of this writing, there are not yet any plans for a North American release of Mirai Nikki=R.

 * Mirai Nikki=R is the second video game based on Mirai Nikki, the first being Future Diary: The 13th Diary Owner for the PlayStation Portable.
