Here’s something surprising, a Vita launch game isn’t getting a collector’s edition bundle, but the console ports of it are. Yes, if you buy BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend on February 14, 2012 and own a PS3 or Xbox 360, you’ll have two different versions of the game to choose from. One will be the $39.99 more »

I really hope you’re not tired of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift yet, even though it’s been in arcades and on consoles as BlazBlue: Continuum Shift and the 3DS and PSP as BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II. See, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift EXTEND has now been confirmed and I really don’t want you to burn yourselves out. Yes, it’s a third incarnation of the same game, only this time it’s totally the best version and will be on the Vita, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Basically, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift EXTEND is an enhanced version of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II, which was of course an enhanced version of the original BlazBlue: Continuum Shift…

Wow, Teddy’s Persona 4 fighting tournament is getting a lot of attention. Wait, I should step back and start over. Arc System Works and Atlus’ fighting game collaboration based on the Persona 4 PS2 game may not be appearing until 2012, but it’s getting lots of love. It’s showing up at the 2011 Tokyo Game Show in a playable form, and people can stop by the arcade cabinet to see what it’s like to play a fighting game inspired by a JRPG.

The P4: UMA demo isn’t actually the full game yet. It’s close enough to give people a good idea of what to expect though…

Great. Now I have to buy a Vita. See, there’s a new Persona game coming out. rather, it’s an old version with new content. Remember Persona 4? Well, when it comes out on the PlayStation Vita in 2012, it’ll be called Persona 4: The Golden. Yes, it’s Persona 3: FES all over again!

Famitsu had the exclusive Persona 4: The Golden reveal, and mentioned a bit of new content that will be included in this release. Half of it sounds really good, and the other half just sounds like stuff that really wouldn’t make it worth buying again…

Good news about BlazBlue Continuum Shift II! It isn’t just coming to the 3DS, it’s also going to appear on the PSP. It isn’t that big a surprise, considering was released on both systems in Japan, but Aksys has only just revealed that it will be bringing both versions to North America on May 31, 2011.

PS3 and Xbox 360 owners should be jealous, as the portable incarnations of Continuum Shift are going to be the premier editions…

Aksys has a Valentine’s Day surprise for all those PS3 owners out there and hopes you like it. Surprise! It’s a PlayStation Store release for Arcana Heart 3. Oh, you guys shouldn’t have. (Just kidding – we’re ecstatic that you have!) The news gets even better! When it’s released in Spring, 2011, it will only cost $29.99.

Conversely, Xbox 360 owners better prepare to cry rivers of tears…

Hey, good news! Good news for Europe, that is. All that Arcana Heart 3 speculation wasn’t just some baseless rumor. The PS3 and Xbox 360 fighter is going to be released in English in 2011. And, just like everyone was saying, Zen United and PQube are going to be handling the release.

Arcana Heart 3 is a 2D fighting game from Arc System Works…

BlazBlue is going portable again, and it’s going to include some extra features that may make Xbox 360 and PS3 owners BlazBlue: Continuum Shift a little jealous. Arc System Works is going to release BlazBlue Continuum Shift II on the PSP in Spring 2011. Don’t let the II part fool you – it’s pretty much just a PSP port of BlazBlue Continuum Shift…

Arc System Works is known for creating intricate, 2D fighters, and in June 2009 it released BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, a spiritual successor to the Guilty Gear series of games. Now, a little over a year later, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift has blasted onto the scene. Those unfamiliar with the series might mistake it for a slightly modified version of Calamity Trigger, but it is full sequel with new modes, new difficulty levels, new characters and new moves for existing characters…

Arc Systems Works is going to have its very own booth at the 2010 Tokyo Game Show. I know, it’s a little surprising since its a small developer and publisher that mainly works on fighting games, but it’s true. The company even set up its own, small, TGS 2010 website.

That Arc System Works website is one that TGS 2010 attendees will desperately need. The company is only going to have two games at the show, Arcana Heart 3 (PS3, Xbox 360) and BlazBlue: Continuum Shift (PS3, Xbox 360), but they will only be able to be played at certain times…
