ESRB rates BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger for PC

by David Hinkle on May 19th 2010 1:30PM

With BlazBlue: Continuum Shift set to fight its way to the Xbox 360 and PS3 this summer, a cuter spin-off called BlazBlue: Battle x Battle coming to DSiWare and a PSP port of the original fighter due soon, no platform is safe from Arc System Works' sprite-fueled fighter. Not even the PC, according to an ESRB listing.

The certificate makes no mention of when BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger will launch on PC, but it does remind us just how raunchy that game was: "includes still images of female characters -- in provocative poses -- wearing outfits that expose deep cleavage or barely cover their breasts." Remember when fighting games were just, you know, fighting games?

I wouldn't mind seeing this run on my computer.

You should be made aware that the Continuum Shift arcade platform is just an embedded Windows XP system. If you're really that interested and don't mind plumbing the seedy depths of the Internet, it's my understanding that you may find a version that may run on the very PC you have.

Cool, that's pretty interesting to know. I don't feel like using up the effort, though. I'm interested, but not that interested.

Ivy from Soul Calibur... Now THOSE are some scantily clad bewbs!

Nice.

Always happy to see the PC gamers getting some love!

Dear God I wonder when this will appear on the PC in Europe......

I think the French release date is still the 21st.

Well that changes everything.

Remind me to get the US version of Continuum Shift since I finally got myself a PS3 back in January so I won't have to wait for a PAL version to get on the 360 like I did with the first one.

Ha! I just pushed it back to June 30th. XD

Darn.

This is far too late with the new one coming out in a few months for 39.99 at gamestop. Now if that one was coming out for PC...different story. But I'd still get it for ps3, I only ever wanted this one on PC when I didnt have a ps3 and my friend's did. This is a full year later though....waaay too late and close to the new one's release.

Should I point out that this was only released in Europe last month?

They ARE talking about the new one.

Continuum Shift is new. Calamity Trigger is old.

....

Oh wait.

Isn't "Deep Cleavage" the name of one of the special attacks in BlazBlue?

I think so.

'Boobie Lady' used it.

Not really sure why they're bothering to release a soon to be outdated game, on a platform that no one plays fighting games on :P

Uh, wrong.

That :P over there means "I'M BEING SERIOUS TO THE NINTH POWER." :P

Hope this does well, good to see fighting games, especially a niche title like this, come to PC.

Wow. I already play Continuum Shift on pc.

"Remember when fighting games were just, you know, fighting games?"

Pfft, as if fanservice hasn't always been a huge part of fighting games.
Chun Li...
Mai Shiranui...
Soul Calibur...
Dead or Alive...

Chun Li? I think E. Honda was more blatant fan service.

Er... you know... for the ladies....

Especially when Jackie Chan is playing E. Honda in that one awesome Street Fighter movie that wasn't about Street Fighter.

Ironically, he looked good as Chun Li, too.

Wrong article, not confirmed, and don't get your hopes up.

It's been confirmed for France. You can preorder it over Amazon. There's even new box art up.

Sorry, that was a reply to some comment about Versus being on the 360. I guess his comment got deleted.

So ignore my post here. :P

Sweet! Sold!

...how deep are we talking?

Why are there no photos accompanying this article???7?

I agree! If only there were some other way to see pictures of scantily-clad women without much effort...

let´s just hope they put this game on the best place to sell it for the pc....STEAM.

This game has been on PC for Months

By way of Piracy. If that's what you mean.

Oh Sprinkles, go back to Engadget.

Yay, more games for the PC as possible! : )

you registered that account today just to be a douche?

BlazBlue Portable has been out in the US since March, both at retail and in the PS Store.

This is the PC version dood.

I am responding to the statement in the article: "a PSP port of the original fighter due soon."

Lol pre-release Blazblue pic ;D.
