If the horde of fighting games already out this year weren't enough for you, don't fret. Currently only available in Japanese arcades BlazBlue, developed by Arc System Works who also did Guilty Gear, will be shipping to Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 this summer in Japanese homes.
A beautiful 2D fighter it seems like the home version will be stuffed with additional content. The biggest news is the story mode which will offer individual stories for each character which will further branch out based on battle results and choices made by the player. The game will also have full voice work and animated cutscenes created by Studio Gonzo. General Director Toshimichi Mori joked that he feels there is "too much content" in the game as the story mode easily spans 30 hours of gameplay. The game includes network compatibility for online play that is confirmed to be worldwide so we can hope that a U.S. version will soon be announced. If you haven't seen what this game is capable of yet check out the video and you'll realize how many games can you play as such a cuddly...cat?

This year is so full of amazing fighters I think I'm falling in love with the genre all over again. I've kind of lost interest after Soul Calibur II, so it's been a good while.
(on a side note, I see a marked improvement in your writing. I'm not sure if you want this to be a highly reported blog...if you do, start making it more of a niche—appealing to the otaku/gamers—or give us something we couldn't get from Joystiq)
