Just don't try to sell it for $60! BF came out for less than $60, right?

Not sure about the digital PSN release, but it couldn't be any more.
But if BB sells for $60, so what? Don't buy it if that irks you.

Aksys was hush on a console port earlier because they also published the arcade version and arcade operators would need to make profit I assume

Both versions, Aksys is bringing it.
Also, chipmunk girls:
I'm really looking forward to this game's Story mode. I've been reading the Blazblue Storyline thread on Dustloop, and even though it's a mess of half-assed theories and stupid details that have no relevance to the story, it's still pretty cool. Can't wait to play it, and see if they changed Ragna's "bad ending" from the arcade version.
Also, it sounds like they're putting a lot more effort into this game's online mode. Apparently they're partnering up with Ponder from http://ggpo.net/ to create the code. And 6-player lobbies will kick some ass.
I'm pretty shocked GAF hasn't been all over this, with all the news and previews coming out in the past couple days. Even /v/ has about 5 BB threads a day.

i wish they would have brought Hokuto No Ken to the states. That game is creepy as fuck. It has the best atmosphere of any fighting game.
This is some of the creepiest shit I've ever seen:

The announcer and music is perfect. If this game is anything like that I'm all over it.

I love Arakune in this game. His voice and style reminds me of Faust and I hope he has the same power to kick ass and annoy the other player with the crazy things he says.

Give it time, I say.
The closer we get to the ideal release date, the zanier it will be.
Partnering up with GGPO = GOOD STUFF, in my eyes. I dunno when Capcom is finally going to start living up to that GGPO contract they started from last year, but if BB is the one that truly gets the ball rolling in this arena, so be it.
This will definitely be in my PS3 this summer, along with KOFXII.

HnK, much like other great games like Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, was a victim of legal red tape.
Even if Sega and ASW were at all interested in bringing the game over (which I doubt), they would have had likely had to deal with any legal entanglements, first. And few devs still care once THAT becomes an issue...

Don't worry... Arakune is without a doubt the #1 char in BB.
Arcade version at least.

Also...can someone explain the last image for me?....cross-platform online or erroneous screenshot?
Probably haven't gotten all the buttons finished for the 360 version so they are using the PS3 buttons as placeholder.

I wish they'd put Arcana Heart 2 on PSN and XBL. It's the only game that can give ArcSys a fight in terms of crazy designs.

I spent some time looking at the new media on IGN/1up/g4tv.com/Gametrailers (each site got different material) and this game looks like a lot of fun. I had no idea about the two newer characters either.

According to the Aksys Nation podcast, no. Only glitches in the arcade version will be patched. No character will be nerfed/buffed otherwise from the AC release.Halvie said:

err... Not sure how to take this info really. Does this mean that there weren't any damage issues among the character in the arcade? If that's the case then I applaud Arc System Works. I hope someone that's played the arcade version or visited other forums can answer this for me.

Yes, yes, and more yes. I guess i'm not so up-to-date with JPN 2D fighters, but I looved the mobility and sense of command you get over your char in AH. I come from smash bros melee background (forgive me), and as much as I am enjoying SF4, I seriously miss the precise movement of ssbm. AH's super-jumps, IADs, and homing attacks made for really fun play...sadly, since none of my friends would touch it, it only made for fun play against the CPU
The inability to play against human opponents is what has held be back from putting any real time into 2D fighters. In regards to this game and KoF, do we have any indication of the quality of online? I can't help but go in skeptical; SF4's online plays fantastically, but the lobby system is complete garbage! There is also no spectate mode, but I have to imagine that was due to techincal limitations, so while unfortunate, I can let that slide.
HDR is still the best online experience I've had with a fighting game; was Backbone responsible for the online components as well? Whoever was in charge of that needs to do some consulting for other devs; online play is not an area where we want individual developers re-inventing their own wheels...especially japanese devlopers :\

I'd like Atlus to localize the second one; but I don't know if they will or not.

Japan prolly.
Fun Fact: I bought Arcana Heart on launch here in the US and barely played it more than a half hour, and I don't have anyone that's even interested in it to play with. :/

Fun Fact: I imported Arcana Heart; played it once. Then a few weeks later it was announced for release in the US; and I sold the import, picked up the US release, and it's still shrink wrapped.
Fighters fucking require mandatory online play plz. Even the worst fighter can be redeemed if you have someone to play it against.

The technical hurdles are so daunting it's not even funny - especially if it's going to be your first time.

I actually completely agree with you, but just wanted to defend the developers a bit. I won't buy anymore offline fighters, but I can't blame developers for not including it. The only thing worse than an offline-only game is one with shitty online...and that shitty-online still took an unfathomable amount of effort (smash bros brawl notwithstanding, that has got to be the most hastily thrown together online I have ever seen, and they knew it), causing the game as a whole to suffer.
The GGPO thing bodes well for the quality of BB's online, but more importantly, you can have up to 6 people in an online lobby in this game. I don't know if it's anything like DoA4, or what it looks like, but it sounds pretty nifty so far.bistromathics said:Yes, yes, and more yes.

I'm definitely getting this game, but I don't know if I'll resubscribe to XBL for it (I'm already spending $60 for the game, and at least $40 for a stick). I have enough buddies in my town who play fighters, and the extensive Story mode sounds really awesome right now. Maybe I'll get a 3 month subscription or something.
