Boxing: Miguel Cotto, Daniel Geale Make Weight for WBC Title Fight

After weeks of tumult and harsh feelings from Daniel Geale’s handlers about him having to cut down to a catchweight of 157 pounds, the main issue that has been weighing down tomorrow night’s fight has finally passed. Both lineal and WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto and challenger Geale cleared the scales to make the fight official Friday afternoon.

BlazBlue: Chronophantasma EXTEND Headed for North America on June 30

After an April release saw an updated version of BlazBlue: Chronophantasma land on home consoles in Japan, the folks at Arc System Works and Aksys Games are ready to bring the title stateside on June 30.

Developed for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PlayStation 3, BlazBlue: Chronophantasma EXTEND features the debut of two previously arcade-exclusive characters in Celica A. Mercury and Lambda-11 as well as an extended (heh) story mode featuring narrative arcs for Bullet, Kokonoe, Kagura, and the Remix Heart manga spin-off.

A handheld port for PlayStation Vita will be made available a little while later on July 28.

While fans of airdashers have typically had to wait patiently through lengthy localization processes to see their favorite fighters arrive in North America, BlazBlue: Chronophantasma EXTEND’s upcoming launch represents a mere two-month gap between releases. It’s not perfect, of course, but it’s definitely better.
