Has there been any update on this? Can't find anything about it anywhere.

I hope Variable Heart, Spiral Shift and Bloodedge Experience make it to the game in a story expansion since they're kinda crucial to the overall story and yet they're demoted to LN format.

Anything on BlazBlue Switch, or is it still a wild card?

Call me cynical, but something tells me it'll be news on pretty much ANYTHING but BlazBlue. Unless, the announcement on Sunday was specifically mentioned to be about it? I still feel like the Switch version is a wildcard; it could mean that they have something interesting planned for it....or it'll just be a quick port for whatever reason.

ASW is on record saying that they skipped the time it takes to record the dub in favor of pushing the game out earlier, to appease the weebs and competitive community alike. Throw in a $60 price tag when other versions were $40/50 and you only have enthusiasts at most buying it. It's no coincidence it didn't sell as well in both regions. A good player plays more than one fighter. I have a friend who can whoop me silly in both Marvel and SFV but I can go toe to toe with him in Tekken and Persona 4 Arena. If you're not playing one, you're playing something else, simple as that. People are naturally cynical about EVO because pretty much only a handful of characters are currently viable and that hasn't changed in months. Plus I wouldn't be looking forward to upcoming nerfs immediately after if I just whooped everyone at EVO with one of those viable characters, assuming I'm still caring afterwards.

Honestly, this game was released too early. They cling to the fact that they wanted it out sooner and forsakened both the dub and the localization as a whole, now they're relying on only the diehards to keep this game alive through EVO. Now they wanna update it at EVO when Injustice, Tekken 7 will have been out by then, and Marvel is coming in September. Rev 2 a month or so beforehand. Why would anyone wanna play BlazBlue in between all of this? Even looking at the game itself, as mentioned we're gonna see only 3-4 select characters being played, and that's if they bother to give it proper coverage at all. People were so smug that this game made it to EVO. Let's see if that'll be the case a year from now. I'm not even holding hope that the Switch port will even be the updated, rebalanced version. It'll probably run crap like the PC port (which I still don't understand why they released at this point) as well. The most ideal scenario is for them to announce a complete redo of the game in both localization and gameplay balance. And for fuck's sake, make it downloadable. And preferably free. They already got lucky with the initial fanbase that did buy it in the first place. This game really came and went in terms of buzz, and that's really sad because I have some great memories with CS and CP that I never expected to end like this.

I'd like some more info on the Switch version, myself. Since the Vita isn't working out anymore this would be my go to device for the updated version.....which will come with a dub if they aren't completely foolish enough to think anyone's buying a BlazBlue balance patch re-release in the face upcoming Injustice, Marvel, and fricking Tekken.

I already have a Switch preordered (No More Heroes 3 is a damn system seller indeed) but if there is a version of Extend then I'm also game too. ....that is, if it comes with a dub. They would be absolutely mad to think I'm buying it again any other way.

Man, it's a little sad how quiet the forums have gotten. It's like the game never came out at all. I hope they stick to it and give CF the extra characters, dub, story content, dub, balance patches, and English dub it deserves.

Charging $60 along the way, of course.

I know it just came out and we want to see it thrive; but this game is borderline DOA, and the community going thisisfinedog.jpg is not going to change that. You can't make a game for only a few hundred dedicated players; you have to appeal to everyone as much as possible. I'd be surprised if this even makes it to EVO, with all the renewed interest in other fighters and new ones coming this year. They released it at the worst possible time (AAA-game November) with no dub and at full price. I don't think you have to be an economist to tell this is a bad combination. I hope instead of an Extend version, they go the route that other fighters have been going lately (even Super Turbo Tournament Edition Street Fighter) and introduce a Season 2. New maps, new characters, extra story segments. Forcing a whole new purchase through an Extend will only fragment the already thin community further.

I don't wanna say that this lack of hype was partially due to NO DUB.... .....but yeah. Hell, even people have taken to discussing other fighting game's stories. You hear that? People are talking about the STORY in STREET FIGHTER FIVE over BLAZBLUE.

Wow, just noticed that the story mode description is recycled from CP. It talks about Noel Jin and Ragna in Ikaruga, even though the story mostly takes place in Embryo Kagutsuchi. Some localization.
