Time to charge that PSP and get your fighting spirit on! Blazblue: Calamity Trigger Portable is out today in store everywhere! This game is the ultimate 2D fighting game on the go! BlazBlue features all of the console modes—Arcade, Versus, Score Attack, Training, and Story—in addition to the all-new Shop and Legion modes, where you control your own party of fighters in an attempt to conquer the world of BlazBlue. “Every frame of animation and hit box is painstakingly replicated from the original game, so all of your combos work without a hitch. It’s really nice when you need your BB fix on the go,” says Michael Manzanares, Project Lead. “And new Unlimited versions of your favorite characters don’t hurt, either.”

Blazblue Portable Key Features:

• 12 unique combatants to choose from, which now include Unlimited versions for all characters!

  Choose a character that represents your own fighting style, like the lightning-fast Taokaka or the wickedly powerful Tager.

• Drive your way to victory!

  Use the unique “Drive Attacks” specific to each character to decimate your opponent. Control the elements, like wind or ice, or even absorb the life-force of your opponents.

• Multiplayer battles via Ad-Hoc Mode

  Battle with up to four players in a single room and play with custom rule sets. Two people will fight each other at a time while the others spectate.

• Legion Mode

  Build your army and conquer the map! Have up to 20 members join your party.

  Use in-game currency to purchase illustrations and Unlimited characters.

In her dedication to all the Aksys fans yesterday, Noba suffered an epic jeans blowout (see above) whilst helping move the Record of Agarest War mouse pads into our warehouse. They were her favorite pair of jeans and they are ruined. Here’s your chance to give back to the person who gave it her all. If you’d like to donate to the “Get Noba Some New Jeans” fund, we’ve set up a paypal account dedicated solely to her at getnobanewjeans@aksysgames.com. If anything, please leave her some kind comments here to console her for the loss of her jeans.

You asked for it—well, some of you—and now you have it! The BlazBlue Comic Collection, translated, printed, and ready for you to purchase and touch. You can read it too, I suppose, if that’s your thing. It has 25 pages. This means that if you buy 4, you’ll have 100 pages of BlazBlue comics! Plus, it has a totally sweet drawing of Jin and Ragna on the back cover, done by Daisuke Ishiwatari of Guilty Gear fame. Awesome.

If this hasn’t convinced you to visit the store and purchase one—or more!—of these fabulous creations, then you clearly live a cold, loveless life, devoid of all pleasure, and I’m afraid there is nothing more I can do to help you.

‘Nuff Said.

“We cannot hide the fact that even after our brief time with it, we think this is shaping up to be the best of the series so far; Gaijin Games have outdone themselves by creating a good balance between challenge and accessibility that will have players thinking “next time I’ll time that jump better” rather than throwing down the controller in frustration. Even gamers who don’t like platform games will find themselves unable to put down the controller until long past bedtime for one more go – yes, it’s that kind of game.”
