BlazBlue: Continuum Shift 2 Scrapping with Europe this Year

This is interesting. I wonder if this is a sign that the 3DS in the EU will be served by these "rare" Japanese games?. I hope so.

I hope I don't have to Import this one.

**scraps Streetfighter from his list**

Quite happy about this. Also, 3DS already has a better fighter line-up than DS and it's not even out yet, lol

Maybe I'll give this series a try, even though I'm not good at fighters. Is this a good series for beginners?

@Xkhaoz 3D
I can't say for sure since I haven't played a game of it myself,but I can suggest dead or alive: dimensions for a beginner friendly fighter. The touch screen controls are nice short cuts to pull of combos and it also shows you the button commands. So instead of tapping it you can use the bottom screen as a reference when trying to pull of combos. There's more info in the first impressions article.

@5 I read that this game like SSFIV & DOA will have touch screen shortcuts. Although apparently it's not the best series for beginners, shortcuts would make the 3DS version the most accessable.

I was going to get the 1st PSP game but I will probably hold out for this now.

Honestly, I heard BlazBlue's a lot easier to get into for beginners (but even harder to master) than Guilty Gear. Apart from SSB I really don't think there's any fighters out there that are fun to play as a noob. The fun is in getting awesome at them.

And I still don't understand why the Wii hasn't seen a release of this game. I truly don't.

This article is confusing. The DSiWare game was a beat 'em up, while this looks like a fighting game, so don't you mean it's returning to it's traditional fighting game roots?

Anyway, if it eventually gets a North American release, I'll have to consider getting it.

Oooh, if this comes to the US, I am so getting it.

@Bulbasaurus Rex
That's just semantics. The point is, this is a return to the "one on one" game mechanic, unlike the spin-off.

Oh wait, Continuum Shift 2 is apparently coming as DLC for the first Continuum Shift. I don't need this.

3DS is quickly becoming a fighter-friendly system. All we need now is Tekken, Mortal Kombat, and Soul Calibur (PLEASE, Namco, bring us Soul Calibur!), and the 3DS may be considered the NeoGeo reincarnated.

Namco needs to release that Tales of the Abyss remake overseas, too.

@TrevorTheChan The article was apparently edited to add "one-on-one" after I posted.

@Silver They are remaking Tales of The Abyss as we speak. Otherwise, I'm very happy to see yet another fighter to come to the 3DS. Say goodbye to my tax return.

Ι have all BlazBlue games on PSP and PS3 and like them very much.
I will buy the PSP iteration since I won't have a 3DS when the game will be released. This is a nice addition to the new console's library. PSP is ideal for 2D fighting games, I don't agree with the people stating the opposite. The first one was one of the most beautiful games with anime style I' ve played. Also it had a very interesting story. The second iteration is a direct sequel with more characters. I didn't like the very high priced DLC. It is good that it will be included in the portable version.

I like this Belmont guy.

i love blazblue soo, one for my ds? YESZ!!!!!1!!

Blazblue is a very complex game so beginners will need patience. When playing against good people it really does show.

Good game although SSF4 is a better game.

I'm glad the fighting games are returning to the 3DS, on DS there seem to be lacking on fighting games. I hope the 3DS also got a port of Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Mortal Kombat 9, and The King of Fighters XIII too.

This one is definitely on my radar!

Is this game better than Street Fighter IV 3D?
I haven't played this series and I want to try it out.

It all depends on your preference really. While I haven't played these versions, I have played both games and I can honestly say they're both very good, yet very different.
