Aksys Brings BlazBlue To America

A bevy of BlazBlue screenshots accompany the announcement that Aksys game is bringing [[link]] the spiritual successor to Guilty Gear to the states this summer.

Recently announced for Japan in the pages of Famitsu, Aksys is [[link]] picking up the ball and running it to North America with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game due out this summer. As mentioned previously, the 2D fighter features twelve highly-detailed characters, each one animated with over 1800 frames worth of hand-drawn sprites. That’s a whole mess of sprites.

The console version of the arcade fighter features new music, new animations, and a full-fleshed out [[link]] story mode that apparently makes use of a girl with chipmunk ears and a tail, so I wholeheartedly approve. Online play and the ability to switch between Japanese and English voices is nice, but they had me at random chipmunk girl.
