American BlazBlue fans feel the wrath of time constraints as they can only purchase a standard edition BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, while European fans will get a “Fans edition” that will cost £54.99, or about $90. The package is quite exclusive – limited to only 500 copies, and contains some items not available in the US at all. Regarding the exclusive content, Aksys Games representative Cherie Baker said that they “have no plans on selling Europe’s package in pieces,” unlike the Noel Nendoroid that was available at Anime Expo. This means that international fans will have to import this package and shell out the extra shipping. Interested parties should order here. Full list and pictures of included extras after the jump.

Despite the dwindling arcade industry, Konami still has its sights set on Metal Gear Arcade, running a couple of location tests this weekend. They’re being held in ROUND1 in Yokohama and Shibuya Adores in Tokyo. The game was first announced back in February at the Arcade Operator’s Union show, showing great promise and using Metal Gear Solid 4’s online mode as the basis. For those who couldn’t travel to Japan for the location testing, we have the details for you after the jump.
SoniComi, a new visual novel game by Nitroplus, is set for a fall 2010 release in Japan and we have the gameplay details for you here! SoniComi is based on Sonico, an overly busty amateur idol and mascot of Nitroplus, and features players as her cameraman. Naturally as a cameraman, you will both film and court her. The game flow will consist of two phases: the adventure and action phase. Details of the two, screenshots, and video of SoniComi after the jump.
More mech action heads to the Xbox 360 this winter with arcade port Virtual On Force, the latest iteration of the series featuring four player multiplayer. According to Sega, the game will be released December 22 and have both a regular version for ¥6090 and collector’s edition for ¥10290. The series is known for its unique controller that mimics those in mecha anime, which is one reason for its big following. No news yet of an American release. It’s somewhat of a shame that this will be ported to the Xbox 360 instead of the PlayStation 3, meaning that import junkies will have to shell out for a console as well as the game, if they don’t already own an Xbox 360. Screenshots after the jump.
