Marvelous and Examu are bringing your favorite characters together for the PS3 and PS4 release of Nitroplus Blasterz -HEROINES INFINITE DUEL- arcade fighting game. Gamers who have a Mad Catz Arcade Fightstick Tournament Edition 2 edition controller can add three of the fighters, specifically Super Sonico, Ignis from the adult visual novel Jingai Makyō , and Muramasa from Full Metal Daemon: Muramasa .

The faceplate will first be available on November 1 at the "Fuyu no Marvelous-sai 3 Title Gōdō Taiken-kai" event held simultaneously at stores in Tokyo, Kanagawa, Osaka and Nagoya. Visitors will be able to test the game, and get both the arcade stick faceplate and a special IC card sticker.

A Twitter campaign is also taking place to give away a Arcade Fight Stick Tournament Edition 2.

The game's PlayStation 3/PlayStation 4 version is slated to ship in Japan on December 10. The console version will promote Super Sonico from partner character to playable character. First-print copies of the game in Japan will include a free download code for two new playable characters: Homura from the Senran Kagura Estival Versus -Shōjo-tachi no Sentaku- game, and Aino Heart from Examu's Arcana Heart fighting game series.

North American publisher XSEED Games announced in June that it will release the game in the West this winter.
