BlazBlue expansion coming for 360 and PS3

Well, this is good news. I wonder if the whole European version getting more content made this happen.

Anyway, more is better, especially if it's a great game!

BlazBlue will be getting an expansion of sorts in BlazBlue Continuim Shift, featuring at least one new character. That new addition would be Tsubaki Yayoi, a previously unplayable character featured in the original BlazBlue. According to details from Famitsu, we'll also get new stages and a refined HUD.

BlazBlue: Continuum Shift will reportedly make an appearance at Japanese arcades soon, with Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 ports expected later. Thanks to Gantz for the heads up!

Awesome to hear. I just picked up the game a few weeks ago and I love it, great game.

Here are some links on the changes

With Tsubaki confirmed as one the new characters. Im so hyped :P

Same here, but i doubt it. Im kinda afraid that BB would follow the Guilty Gear XX path.

GGXX#Reload

GGXX Slash

GGXX Accent Core

GGXX Accent Core Plus

That would suck alot..

Told you guys not to get all heated about that European BlazBlue.

That's probably the only situation that DLC would be worse though. I'm all for putting it on a disc, but I would rather pay like $5 for a new character than $60.

Well, then, they could ship updated discs of Blazblue for new players and tournament players and offer the new content as DLC to those of us who have Blazblue but aren't tournament players.

[QUOTE="DarkCatalyst"] Hell with that, I want a disc. As a tournament director, DLC policies (Microsoft's in particular) are a pain in the ass.DarkCatalyst

I honestly have no idea how many non-tournament Blazblue players are out there, but such players would probably be more inclined to spend $10 or 15 for Continium Shift DLC than they would be to spend $60 for a Blazblue Continium Shift disc.

For those that don't know, a second new character "Hazama" has also been revealed.

[QUOTE="DarkCatalyst"] But looking at it realistically, how many BlazBlue owners who aren't competitive will even have a need for CS? There might be a few, but let's face it, by and large that's the "one is enough" crowd.DarkCatalyst

*Shrugs* I wouldn't mind paying more than $15 if the amount of new content on offer is generous. IIRC VF4: Evo cost only $20 and that had a ton and a half of new content (and lots of tweaks to the old content).
