Arc System Works Europe and PQube have today announced that the forthcoming BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend, currently in development for PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita (PS Viat) and Xbox 360, will include the original ‘Calamity Trigger’ storyline, making this latest release the complete BlazBlue story to date. This re-telling of the original story will include new and remastered scenes for both existing fans and to help introduce new players to the BlazBlue universe.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "While fully-fledged fighting games on handhelds have achieved varying levels of success in the past, they weren’t really a thing until the PSP. Prior to this there would always be certain concessions to get them running on weaker hardware. Sony’s powerful portable console, however, allowed developers to experiment with new ways of delivering their titles that would sometimes be hugely successful (e.g. Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection), which in turn meant new games were forthcoming throughout the console’s life. This mantra continued onto the Vita, which received ports of a number of high-profile fighting games, from launch through to the present day.
The ever-expanding industry of eSports has somewhat put a damper on handheld fighting games, as the fanbase moves increasingly towards arcade sticks, perfect latency, and other measures that always ensure a fair fight. That doesn’t mean the Vita doesn’t have access to its fair share of fighting games, though – whether you like 3D arena brawlers, party-friendly multiplayer titles, or pixel-perfect technical 2D fighters, you’re well served by the selection that’s available here, especially when including backwards-compatible PSP & PS1 games."

awwww even as BB is my fav fighter, it just isn't enough new content for me to drop 40 bucks. maybe if they delayed makoto, platina and Valk for this game then i would have, but i will only be missing 1 new character and can just youtube the story while i play SCV.
make a true sequel and i will buy!
Hell yes! I was already going to get this, but they just made the deal so much sweeter! I was kind of sad trading in my Calamity Trigger after I got Continuum Shift, now I don't have to worry about it. XD
PS: Blazblue story is quite awesome.
never played blazblue, but this stuff is great, i was planing to get this allready so yay.
