Aksys announces North American release, hype train for BlazBlue: Continuum Shift

Chuga-chuga choo-choo! V-13 tellin Ragna she's comin for you!


wait...? V-13 isn't in anymore?! Damnit!!

Would be great if it had the same discount pricing as Super Street Fighter IV.

I'm all over this like Arakune on ...well, everything.

I was hoping Jubei would be playable but guess not in this sequel.

I loved BlazBlue, but traded it in after playing online for a few hours and realizing I would never win a match. Since this has more singleplayer content, I'll give it another shot.

how much hype can there really be for a shitty game with only two new characters....

There's are hype for those who know how to count.

Continuum Shift is pulling a Super Street Fighter 4 by adding 4 characters, re-balancing, as well as a lot more modes. Not to mention, BlazBlue was the only fighter last year that did online play perfectly but you wouldn't know that since you obviously didn't play it.

Maybe you should try researching before you start trolling.

Wow, lets hope this gets released sometime over here in the UK.... in all likely hood, 2012.
Christ the first Blazblue hasn't been released over here yet (It's hitting next week) and the sequel is being announced now.
So the Hype train is basically derailed somewhere between Paddington and Liverpool, and there are shocked onlookers gasping into handkerchiefs and weeping open tears.

Do. Goddamn. Want.

You guys are so lucky, they're talking about the sequel and us Aussies don't even have the first yet.

better than Street Fighter, at least for me

I played this at my buddys a few times. I play Litchi and I like the few additional moves she got. Nothing much about her seemed much different, I could still bust out all the same shit I normaly do. The new hip thrust/booty bump move she has is pretty dope when mixed with a rapid cancel. My buddy plays Tager and he got freakin' buff. My other buddy likes to play Arakune and he got the shaft. His bugs are cool but its not an instant curse when the cloud or ground goo hits you. It has to hit you like 3 or 4 times for it to actually curse you. Its nice now as its not a turtle fest against him since you dont have to worry about getting cursed once and lose because of it.

I tried out one of the new characters. I cant remeber his name but hes some dude in a trench coat I think. He uses like a magic grapling hook and zips all over the screen with it. I liked him but it was kinda hard to figure him out without being able to see a moves list. My buddy that plays Arakune tried some new chick and she is cool but seems pretty weak. Her drive attack is just a charge for her heat meter. My friend got worked everytime he picked her.

I like the new menu/character select screen. It looks a shit load better than the other one imo.

Bah. I remember people complaining about the quality of the story last time around. The story in a fighting game for goodness' sake.

Want a story? Here's one:

Fighters over there, KICK THEIR ASS.

This hype train, it ain't fast enough;

CAN WE GET TO JUNE FASTER!? God damnit!
