July 1st, 2010 has just been announced as the Japanese release date for the console port of Blazblue: Continuum Shift. Not to be outdone by Super Street Fighter 4, Arc is not just adding new outfits to its  fan favorite fighter, but a whole slew of changes including new characters and moves:

4 New characters: Tsubaki Yayoi, Hazama,  μ-12 (replacing v-13), and λ-11 (Lambda eleven)

Moves will be removed, added, and replaced for all the characters

Balance issues will be resolved to make a more well rounded gameplay experience

Aesthetic changes done to the artwork of the characters and game interface 

Health bars now change from green to red relating to how much of it you have left

Burst mechanic has been altered to include 2 bursts per match, with the option to store them

New voice work done for characters and announcer

Expect a NA release date coming soon. On a side note, I think our own Kristen will be happy to know that Michael Jackson (pictured in the image above as Hazama) has made the cut into the final game. You been hit by a smooth criminal...
