Comments
This isn't a "sequel" as in BlazBlue 2. Its more akin to Super Street Fighter 4. The story takes place AFTER the original- though gameplay is only slightly updated and balanced. As well as a few new characters being added.
Secondly, the title claims this will be for "PSN" and "XBL"
Is this trying to say its a downloadable title- or merely an interesting way of saying its for PS3 and Xbox 360?
