You were not expecting this, right? Well, neither do I :/
It’s been ages since the last “Japanese Flash Games” post, and I thought I’d be more interesting to post about Japanese games in general so I renamed the category (as said in today’s Picture of the day post).

Small quote from wikipedia :

Vanguard Princess is a Japanese freeware dōjin 2D fighting game for Windows, developed by a single programmer and illustrator called Tomoaki Sugeno, nicknamed Suge9 and a supposedly ex-Capcom employee. The game was released on June 26, 2009 and was created using Fighter Maker 2nd. The latest version of the game is 1.07c, released on June 20, 2010.

For a free game, it’s pretty amazing. Graphics are gorgeous, and you don’t need a rock’n lol PC to make it run. The only drawback in my opinion is that characters do not have a lot of different moves. That may change in later versions, though.
Note that You may need Microsoft AppLocale to make it run on your machine.
You also need to rename/fix the file path so that it does not contain any asian characters (ex: C:\Vanguard Princess\vanpri107c\vp). You also need to rename the .exe and .kgt files for the same reason as well. You can give them any name you want, as long as they both have the exact same name (ex: vp.exe, vp.kgt).

Found the game quite fun and relaxing, and I hope some of you will think the same
