It was your review of 999 that turned me on to this series, so I have to just give you a shout out for that. I can't wait for this game.
It's still REALLY hard to decide whether I want the 3DS or Vita version (of course, I'll have to buy a Vita before I choose that one). This may be a dumb question, but... the 3DS version IS going to be in 3D, right? Because if not, it's going to make my decision even harder.
I'm curious, what twist will they come up with? They can't just repeat the same story. I just hope there's less red herrings this time around, the ending of the first game kind of put me off.
YESSSSS!
I wonder which version will be the superior version (if at all). If the 3DS doesn't have added features (besides 3D) I'll probably get the Vita version.

@GRIVEN: I'm going with Vita because I love the system, and don't have a 3DS yet, but I think stylus works well with these games in particular.
I want to hear what the controls are going to be like. If it's going to be touching everything with my finger the entire time, I don't know.

@Shinta I've played the demo on my Vita and it didn't seem like it would be touch only. Also I had no idea what the hell was going on. All I knew was that there seemed to be some kind of evil talking rabbit
It's probably not as sharp as the Vita version because it's only shown in 2D. At least that's the only reason I could think of, other than Vita has 500 more graphics hurrr hurr.
@Shinta:
The 3DS touch screen actually bugs me because the screen is so small and the corners constantly fill with dust (for me at least). The Vita touch screen also feels a lot more responsive and natural to me for some reason.

That's probably because the Vita's touchscreen is capacitive. The 3DS' is not, because it has to be compatible with a stylus.

Tony. Dude. Is a 10 second once-over with a dry paper towel every 2 or 3 days really that high a price to pay for a much more responsive screen?
@Tony: I usually play at night so I don't notice all that much. Plus I use a screen cleaning cloth everytime I put my Vita away.
@Justin:
How about we just support the game in general.
I don't have anything against the 3DS, I'm playing Kid Icarus and Tales of the Abyss right now. I just like the touch better on the Vita and 999 had a lot of touch screen moments. Honestly, I will probably buy both versions just to support the game.

PAPER TOWEL!? Are you mad, man!? I wouldn't dare allow such abrasive filth to touch my screen and scratch it to high heaven! I only use high-quality microfiber cloths because I'm fancy and super nervous about ANYTHING happening to my machines.

I just don't like the idea of ports on handhelds. I don't want to start seeing halfassed support between Vita and 3DS just because one has features the other does not.
If I get a 3DS game, I want the 3DS used or I want that larger cart space being used for something. I can let Devil Survivor skate by on all that added voice and new content, but that's about it. The ports of Blazeblue Continuum Shift II across PSP, 3DS and Vita have all been terrible and all three of them could have had online play, but didn't at all. 3DS has three online fighters, Vita has one. There is no damn excuse for only local multiplayer on a handheld anymore.
With this concern the 3DS version might not enable 3D - which I would prefer it did - and the concern with Vita is multi-touch would likely not be utilized. This is the mess you step into with ports for handhelds that isn't as common to consoles.

Lazy ports, I assume. I think we've been trained to assume that any port (as in, to something other than the "lead platform") is necessarily going to be sloppy and half-assed. That's, of course, silly and untrue, but it happens often enough that I have the same nagging doubt sometimes.
Hopefully, some developer can develop a voice to text software thing for Vita. The mic is good. It picked up all the weird low volume throaty and strange groans I made on the voice recording/music mixer on welcome park.
Oh btw, using the Vita browser seriously makes commenting a million times more fun (especially with a stylus)! U cangeta aw y with typing lyk thss. And pretty much no one can say your writting sucks 'cause you are not on a keyboard. It is pretty good times.

@The Silent Protagonist
Uh... The Vita port of BlazBlue isn't of Continuum Shift II, it's of Continuum Shift Extend, and it does have online multiplayer. (The box only says Ad Hoc, but the game does actually have network play...)

Hopefully the ending is less batshit ridiculous than the previous game. The cryptic nature of getting the real ending and the ending itself took what would have been a top-tier DS game for me and made it just okay.
@Tony:
By the way, thanks a bunch for your review! 999 is one of my favorite games of all time and I never would have picked it up if it wasn't for you.

Well, obviously the 3ds version is the correct choice to make because of... reasons... Anyways, I picked up 999 earlier this year because of all the buzz and it was a little too out there for me, but I had a ton of fun with it. Really looking forward to what they do with the sequel.
@Tony - What reason do I have to believe either version will fully utilize the potential of either system? I'd rather have it specialized for one system than marginalized for both, all I'm saying.
@Lagomorph - Even so, why did the PSP and 3DS versions get the shaft? Why no network support for two systems that are rather clearly netw0rk-enabled, aside from "lazy port?"

I really like the original cover better. Adding Zero with his hands just seem cheesy, especially since that's the same image of Zero that was used heavily in the past game. A cover is just a cover though, I'm still super happy we're getting the game.
Both Vita and 3DS owners are going to get the same game, and differences will be minimal. It's a visual novel/adventure game it's pretty much pre-rendered cut scenes and such. It's not like chuggy frame rate or texture issues will mess up either version.
@Fandango
Yup the 3DS version is in 3D.

999 was awesome. The only real advantage of the Vita version is that you can get the digital edition as well (if you're into that), but I'm probably getting it on 3DS for consistency.
I'm getting the 3ds version because one I have no vita(sob) and two yeah cosistency. Plus its gonna be the damn same game no matter what except ones in 3D.
I'll get the Vita version more than likely as the text will be more pleasant to read on the bigger screen. I'd imagine the game would be like Corpse Party for the conversation scenes in that you use the dpad to choose responses, hold square to remove the text(to get a better look at images), etc.
I porbably should have been more clear, but I meant that the screenshot shown for the 3DS version is only in 2D. It might look sharper once you see it in all three dimensions.
Problem is that 'Last' is spelled in red.. That obviously means bad things and the ESRB should probably have them change it.
We can't possibly have red any where near box art any more.

I really hate living in Europe sometimes. Fuck, I want this game so badly. Shitty region-locked 3DS...
