Sega is readying an arcade fighter for Japan called Blade Arcus from Shining, and it features characters from the Shining series of JRPGs.

A new trailer featuring footage from the game's ongoing location test has been released today, giving us a great look at the game-play. The game appears to use 3D models but plays in a 2D style and has a slower pace than some similar fighters. Hopefully the attack animations will be cleaner in the final version.

The game is due out in Japanese arcades later this year. See the trailer below.
