The new BlazBlue is coming to the PSP and the 3DS in the US at the end of May. The game is already out in Japan, where it sold fairly well on the PSP, but more-or-less bombed on the 3DS. My guess is that's because as of right now, the PSP version of the game has Ad-hoc online play when streamed through the PS3, but no online play to speak of on the 3DS.
I'm still headed towards getting the 3DS version though, for the superior d-pad and the chance to check out 2D sprites on a 3D display. I'll miss the online play, but with all the new single player content, I'll still have plenty to do. For more details on the new single player stuff, and just about everything Continuum Shift II has to offer, check out the press release below.
So how about it people, you up for some more BlazBlue? If so, which handheld do you want t it on?
