    Console players of BlazBlue Continuum Shift will not have to wait much longer until their version of the game matches the current arcade version. Arc System Works sent out this press release for the Japanese version of the Platinum DLC Character update. Kurushii, a member of DustLoop and SRK, was kind enough to provide a rough translation of the contents of the press release.

    This update, most importantly, will finally bring new character Platinum the Trinity home, and will update the game to match the April 15th revision of the arcade version. Here are the rest of the details, including release date and pricing for Japan. We'll update you with announcements for other territories as they become available.

    Details about the North American version can be found here.

      im like 99% sure they are talking about the arcade mode, in which she will not be available. the arcade mode is kinda like sfiv story mode: u play character aftaer character till u reach ther boss, and there are a few dialogue sequences in between some battles

      This.

      May be waiting until I after I come home from Korea, but I'll probably pick up the Platinum DLC, and start playing this again. Best to support a company that tries to give people as close to an arcade experience at possible on console.

      I'm happy to support any fighting game developer that is willing to announce patch notes, support thier game with DLC, and improve their netcode. This is all on top of a game that is feature rich and includes the ability to change controls at the character select.

      Capcom, I'm looking at you. >:3

      Yup haven't been keeping up with the CS2 changes at all. Nice to hear Rachel is good again.

      Thank god that Platinum and CS2 revisions are a single/same-priced-as-other-dlc-chars download.
