Well, if the XBL date is legit, I see no reason to update. Could just have PSN titled "Possible 4/10".

Microsoft doesn't do promotions for multiplatform games. Skullgirls promo is out of the question.

April 11th, huh? I think I have the funds to spare.

Congrats, Ravi and all of you guys at Reverge. 
In for the XBLA version, and in again if/when you guys go for PC.

Took ya'll long enough ;P

It has more to do with timed exclusivity; most of those indie games show up eventually on Steam/SEN.

With that information I can get to work. Time to put the streets on notice. I will however miss the launch parties. I took a Double cosplayer home last night. It was wonderful.
Summed up my thoughts quite accurately.

Where's the PSN love? Do I have to wine & dine Grace Chen or something?

April 11th.
XBLA trials always come out simultaneously with the game. The full games are actually paid unlock codes for each trial/demo.

I noticed a distinct lack of Friday fanart on this page...
Yeah, I was wondering why Ninaj didn't post anything. This week's fan art has some high calibur stuff. Filia, Peacock and Parasoul absolutely own this week.
Have people been passing my OT around? Heads will roll...
The worst thing about these stores. It'd be awesome if they did just a bit more for their multiplatform digital games. I wonder if they'll(PSN too) be able to continue this way next generation as more and more digital storefronts open.
You guys should make a new thread for the newly announced release date. Just saying, it gets the word out and probably would be welcomed instead of being stuffed in this megathread. New thread for new news is the rule afterall. And then a proper OT in a week or so with relevant information, because the OP/this thread is a bit of a mess in terms of trying to extract information out.
As much as I find the art style offensive and hate on it, I will be giving the game a whirl for sure. Any word on the size of the game/download?

^^^ Ravidrath said a minute ago he wants to hold off on putting the release date in the thread title until the PSN date is confirmed too.
Yesss! Maybe a week later than I hoped, but I'm glad we finally know the date.
Still, urgh, better psyche myself up for carrying my arcade stick to and from work every day for at least a couple of weeks...

If Ravi hadn't said they didn't want to blow it up yet since PSN isn't official, someone probably would have already.

The physical form of blasphemy
Yo, they finally freed the release date? One more week. Finally. I'm been wanting to try this game out for the longest now. Hope it sells well.
Ah okay, that makes sense then.

Well, so much for trying to quietly inform our biggest fans... it's all over Twitter, various fighting game sites' front pages, and Joystiq.
I honestly didn't expect that people cared that much? Maybe I'm naive, but... it's incredibly heartening, nonetheless.
I keep turning on my phone or checking my e-mail, expecting someone to be yelling at me. That hasn't happened yet, so I can only guess it's because anyone that would do the yelling feels the same way.
TL;DR Version: <3
While I've got you...
Yes, the Texas Showdown tournament is still on. We're going to send them debug kits, and the tournament will just be free to enter. I believe the prize pool is $500, and first place will get a custom stick.
So what do the custom sticks look like? Well, I just received two (kind of blurry) pics from FoeHammer, and I think you'll get the general idea...
...They're really swank, don't you think?
They'll also come with a carrying case, embroidered with the Skullgirls logo.

*Has every orchestra in the world play Ode to Joy*
Glad to see it coming out within the next 2 weeks...at least for 360 owners, hope you guys have a blast =D
EDIT: Oh cool PSN in the same time frame...and 15 dollars only? Wicked~ Any word on EU release date? If EU doesn't get it at the same time...
Regardless, I will double dip by purchsing it off both US and EU PSN ;D

Waiting on Sony to confirm the date

What Nabs posted, I'm as excited as having others know of the release date, but better wait for an official statement from MS and Sony first.
Until then-

What are you talking about?
It keeps going, even after release, son.
Better recognize.
Haha, as I was reading that, I was thinking, "oh I really hope they went as far as making screenshots for this..." and was not disappointed!
(I'd buy it)

NGPC in hand mutherfuckers. Let's GO.
I DAWWW'd the fuck out at the single pixel nose.
I'd hate to be that guy, but is there any word on the PC release? I've been waiting for Skullgirls for the PC since i've heard about it almost a year ago (and saw that it was a supported platform). Being as both my Xbox and PS3 aren't on PSN / Live my only options of obtaining the game are sailing on some seas. I'm begging you for an update on the game! Steamworks would be amazing, but i'd even take a straight XBLA port with GFWL right now. I JUST WANT TO PLAY!
PC is going to depend on console sales, and won't be for a while.
If I end up liking this game (it can be good without me liking it, will depend largely on how the execution is), I'll double-dip so I can have a fighter to play when I'm done with consoles.
How can we be sure this isn't April's Fools?
Looks legit. Can't wait to play it using 3G on the go.
April's Fools is supposed to be kind of funny, right?
That would be so horrible and painful and...
Come on.

You're going to have to wait a few months for the PC version. It's real development time to port it over, and there's lots of things to think about like keyboard support, plug and play stick support like AE has... I'll be buying both if it's real!
