That's not too long to wait, assuming we get the localized version around the same time. Nice. And a new character too. Unsurprisingly, Kusanagi. Nice.

Another character like Nu...ugh. It is good to see a console port though, hopefully it comes to America quickly.

So much win. The added modes. The tremendous story. An added character. Cannot wait for this. Also I'll hold out hope the Mu isn't like Nu. Please swing that huge sword instead for shooting (gets prepared to be disappointed V_V). Also I think fap is appropriate...I mean we have Botaku.

U WA SHOCK?

I'm happy that Continuum Shift has finally got a console version announced despite not even having CT released in Europe yet. It's a shame Rachel has been nerfed so badly in CS though.

That's a shame... I liked Noel. I didn't like Mu-12 What the hell did they do to her? Noel didn't seem to be the mad dog killer that Mu is. So I ask again... what in the hell did they do to her? Although, considering what happened to Doctor Arakune... I guess anything's capable of happening.

And it's V-13, not Mu-12. Unless Mu-12 is someone else's character... And I don't BELIEVE Noel was THAT interested in Ragna. She was more after him for the bounty. And NOT because of V was telling her to go after him. That was not her intention at all. Of course, that's purely my own speculation... I'm not really sure just what the heck was going on. I mean, I was playing through it and I still don't know a lot of things so =P on that! Although, just thinking it through... they could've changed the name for the 360 version.

V-13 is Noel... Mu-12... well... who knows. +Spoiler alert+ Remember V did something really strange to Ragna, so perhaps Mu IS Ragna now. Unless of course Jin does something to help free Noel from V-13. Or vice versa. I don't know.

Theyre clones of Saya, So when you think about it theyres multiple Noels, this just so happens to be Noels true form Mu-12, thats why theres a Nu and Lamdba, theyre different peoplebut the look alike and have the same moveset's (well in CS they changed it, but you get the idea)

Yes.

New backgrounds, as Spencer notes:
"Famitsu notes all of the levels from the arcade version of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift will be in the game plus new ones for the home version and redrawn classic stages."

This is something I'm particularly excited for. I love backgrounds in fighting games.

New Blazblue Info by Dustloop!

"Hekira no Sora he Sasoe do", rougly, "Invitation to the Sky Covering Everything in Blue", or something to that effect.

Better article from Famitsu (Dengeki listed the creator as Capcom... ): http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/1232287_1124.html

There's also a new insert song for Continuum Shift called Pandora Tears.
There will be twice as many anime cutscenes, once again animated by Gonzo.
The tutorial mode is fully voiced, with Rachel offering guidance to the player.
Challenge Mode will have challenges like making long combos, only a monster can get the highest rank.
Netcode is being improved over the previous version's.
Big story mode with a lot of dialogue.
Tomokazu Sugita will be voicing a subordinate of Bang's.
They're planning DLC, so please look forward to it.
Opening theme is "Hakira no Sora he Sasoe do" by Kotoko.
There will be a limited edition, but the contents aren't finalized.

We'll probably end up getting a look at Tao's face: http://news.dengeki.com/elem/000/000/239/239658/img.html

The netcode was amazing, now it's even better?! And the new songs are intriguing, Kotoko is amazing. And the anime cutscenes are sorely needed.
