Posted January 10, 2011 So this kicks ass. Another decent fighter hitting the 3DS. Apparently this is due out in spring in Japan and I really hope that it makes it to the West. For those who have played Calamity Trigger then you know how good this is going to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 10, 2011 Yeah, was pleasantly surprised to see that it's coming to the 3DS. Calamity Trigger is a superb fighter, probably close to being the best so far this generation (I dislike Street Fighter big time and wasn't a fan of 4) so I really hope that it does come out here. And if it has as smooth an online experience on the 3DS as on the consoles (probably not going to happen but at least if it runs with as little lag as possible), then we're really in business.

Posted February 1, 2011 Trailer: Seriously hope this gets localised quickly as I really would love to have this to play on the go on my 3DS. Looks great and I'll probably enjoy it more than the 3DS' other fighters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 18, 2011 Right so they have announced that the release date in the US is May 24, 2011. Hopefully it won't take the 5 months that the last one did to come to Europe but here's hoping! From what I have seen the game will include all of the content from the original including all of the storyline, so I'd guess that the title will feel just like the console versions that have installed the CSII update. One of the biggest new features is the "Abyss" mode but I'll have to read up more to give you any more details. Would anyone be interested in me doing a full write up of the features? I would think that a lot of folks don't know much about the series generally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 18, 2011 If I were a fighting game fan I would be quite pleased with the lineup that is Street Fighter, Dead or Alive and this, but unfortunately the only fighting game that I am interested in is Super Smash Bros. I wonder why there is such emphasis on fighters at launch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 18, 2011 So being on 3DS I assume it's going to be 3D too. I did enjoy Continuum shifts story mode on the PS3, but can 3D tempt me to do it again? If Europe doesn't get Platinum on the console versions then maybe that can help me decide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder why there is such emphasis on fighters at launch? Ad I wouldn't say that it is similar to Smash Bros but it is very different to SF and Dead or Alive in a lot of ways. I found the variety of moves very refreshing and many of them can be executed with a combination of a direction and pressing an attack. There are no clone characters and everyone has a completely distinct style and move set. The animation is astounding. And despite the seriousness of the trailer, it's damn funny!

Posted October 19, 2011 Saw the news of the manga edition, I know I've said just Mario Kart 7 and Tales of the Abyss only on 3DS this year but it's too good to pass up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 19, 2011 didnt IGN give the 3DS version a shitty review!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Frankly speaking, I only care about online for the Blazblue series on the console version, the extra story components are what I want to play and I want to give the 3DS a chance.

Posted October 20, 2011 For anyone who hasn't played BlazBlue before we have something for you We've got a lot more features planned for this game so keep your eyes peeled! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 27, 2011 A very, very cool interview with the game's director Toshimichi Mori: My urge cycle for fighting games is quite sporadic, but his enthusiasm for the series has convinced me to go for this day one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 4, 2011 Rather foolishly expected this to be in-store at Game or HMV today. Naturally, it wasn't. Worse still, it's already out of stock on Game.co.uk. Will look on other outlets, but I really wanted to buy this in a shop today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 4, 2011 You sure you want it? http://uk.ds.ign.com/articles/117/1177106p1.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 4, 2011 Shopto has it. Reviews put me off so was well, was considering either buying the PSP version of waiting until the 3DS version price drops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will look on other outlets, but I really wanted to buy this in a shop today This seems to be quite a common occurrence with new 3DS software. Stores just aren't buying any of it in, unless it's from Nintendo or a licensed tie in (Tintin and NCIS along with FIFA are the only new third party titles that stores have picked up since the start of the summer), for whatever reason.

Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) Got the dispatch noticed today from Arc System Works. Hope it arrives tomorrow. You sure you want it? http://uk.ds.ign.com/articles/117/1177106p1.html Like anyone with a brain trusts IGN. ;p Edited November 4, 2011 by Emerald Emblem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6, 2011 I think IGN were just being...themselves. It's not ground-breaking but entertaining and personally I like that the 3D is just used to put the characters and background on a different layer. I feel it works really well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) I got my Manga edition today, I have pics, but the 3DS camera doesn't perform great in this overcast lighting. The card reads "Thank you for all your support! =) - The Arc team". What a nice little message from them, I almost wanna keep it mint condition forever and the games seal seems to agree.
