That does sound pretty cool. Unfortunately, there aren’t any plans to do so at the present time, but I’ll let Arc System Works in on your suggestion.

A full pack is honestly a good idea. If possible, we’ll definitely consider this in the future.

So much to say, but so little time! Arcana Heart 3 was actually released today (April 19th)!

As for a new GG or BB, I’ll be bugging Arc System Works nonstop!

As for BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II for the PSP, it will be out on PSN as well.

As for the original BlazBlue: Continuum Shift and Agarest Zero, a digital release for either title isn’t planned at this time. Still, I love digital products myself, so maybe something will happen?

And finally, for Agarest 2… well…

No it is not priced accordingly when there is literally no content included with the character. You can’t even use the character in all of the game modes (hell, not even half of them). It’s just an empty shell of what the portable version has to offer.

As far as pricing of the games go; Yes, the console version of a game will cost more, but this is not the complaint. The console version provides only a fraction of what is available on the portable and costs nearly double if you get the character dlc (Hell, buying CS now at it’s reduced cost and all character dlc would still cost more for less content). The price point of the character dlc is a value of which should include the actual character package (that means that arcade/story included that are clearly present in the portable) . People like yourself who will buy anything a company you love oh so much throws at you, no matter the cost or how hollow the content only encourage the downward spiral that dlc is going down. Next thing ya know we’ll be paying to unlock character Astrals and Distortion moves.

Honestly, the price itself would be perfectly fine if we were actually getting what the price projects, and that is pretty much what the portable has.

@37
Complain all you want but the content in question cost money to make (and was priced accordingly). Those not interested will just wait for a discount period (or complain on forums) and rest will simply buy the character (or not). Imposing your belief system on how content like this should handled is based off nothing more than opinion (and not fact). Going by the comments in this post I expect nobody had interest in using any of the DLC characters in the first place (thus 8 dollars being to much). Also can’t believe a console version of a game cost more than its portable counterpart…

No matter what you say, charging 8 bucks for a single character that you can only use online and in versus is a major ripoff when those who purchased the console version and dlc are paying more than double the price of the portable version for far less content.

Personally can’t wait for the patch and Platinum. Those unhappy with the DLC characters prices should take your whining to Capcom. They’ll happily scam you out of your money with characters already on the disk and bare bone content charged at full price. Not like Blazblue went out the way to give us awesome content and characters who are all unique.

I can’t wait Aksys! Definitely looking forward to Trinity, the patch, and Continuum Shift 2!

Your fighting games are really the only ones I have a lot of fun with so the price tag is fine with me, because I’ll get more out of it than I ever did with the Street Fighter and Marvel vs Capcom DLC. Bleh. Bad purchases I’ll never be able to get a refund on.

WOW. And I thought Capcom gouged. …$8…? …Seriously? No chance in hell guys, best of luck at trying to make that seem like a decent value.
