Big Band Release.png
The day is here at last, so put away your brass polish and step up to the stage because Big Band is finally getting his time to shine in the spotlight!

UPDATE 1: Big Band is now on US PSN! You can currently find him on the PSN website. Purchase him there and then you can download it to your console.

UPDATE 2: BB is now on US PSN on consoles! He's a little hidden at the moment though, so to download him you need to navigate through the PSN like this: Games > New > Add-ons > New PS3 Add-ons See More > Scroll to bottom.
​
UPDATE 3: The missing Compatibility Pack is now available on Xbox 360! When you open Skullgirls on 360, download the mandatory patch, then go to the Skullgirls page on the XBLA store and download the Compatibility Pack. Alternatively, if you got the old Pack, go to your download history and redownload the Pack.
This patch/pack does not actually contain Big Band and Squigly, but will prepare your game to receive them when they finally release tomorrow!

UPDATE 4: Big Band and Squigly are now available on 360! Get them here.

[prebreak]Keep reading for the original article detailing Big Band's launch.[/prebreak]Original Article:
At the time of writing, Big Band is currently only available on Steam. The US PSN should be following very shortly and we'll update this thread as more system releases are confirmed. Those on PSN should already be able to download a patch that will prepare your game for Big Band's release. If you download this patch now it will save you a lot of time getting to play him when he actually appears on the store. Unfortunately the Xbox situation is a little more complicated (as always) please read below for details.​

As with all crowdfunded DLC characters, Big Band comes included with his own set of tutorials and a full story mode. Also, for the first three months after his release on each system he costs exactly $0.00. If you download him within that 3 month window you will never have to pay for him.

Also, DO NOT POST SPOILERS FOR BIG BAND'S STORY. Please take all story mode discussion to this thread. Do not enter that thread unless you want spoilers.


For those of you with Xboxes, you will be getting Big Band soon, but there have been some hiccups.

Despite numerous builds being submitted over the last couple of months, Squigly has not yet appeared on XBLA. She's running so far behind that she will now be released simultaneously with Big Band. In order to upgrade the Xbox version of Skullgirls to Skullgirls Encore, which will include Big Band and Squigly, you will need to download a patch and a Compatibility Pack from the XBLA store. Microsoft recently released the required patch, but they neglected to release the new Compatibility Pack. Applying the patch by itself will cause the game to revert to it's original, completely unpatched version and will disable online play. LabZero are working to get the Compatibility Pack released as soon as possible, but it could be a couple of days before that happens due to Microsoft closing up for Easter.

Hang in there, Xbox players, the latest edition of Skullgirls is almost in your grasp!

I did a review of Big Band's story mode.

8/10 needed more Annie.
You think every thing needs more Annie. I'm waiting for the PS3 release so I don't break any keys on my laptop.
 
Finally <3 my team is almost complete~!

Nah Eliza's rival is Fortune. They're both cats with WAY MORE than just 9 lives.

What's the word on putting out a video of the story mode?

Should we wait a week or two, or can we get the go-ahead?

Well, Peacock, Big Daddy, Scary Mom, Uncle Shark, Bro Shock and Sis Bee were confirmed to be fighters by the poll.

The question is if Granpa Avian, the little kids and the other scientists can.

Wait, people won't resist and spoil themselves.

I spoiled myself with Squigly.
 
Alright - I got it recorded, but I'll wait to actually post it, just so those ten people who actually watch my videos don't get spoiled :PUN:

You can post a reaction video, without spoilers, instead. To feed the hype.
 
Yes I'm waiting on PSN as well : p
 
Same.
 
The ps blog just updated the new additions for this week. Skullgirls isn't on there...is the curse back?
 
Checking the PSN Store to make sure.

Protip: Always wait to get any Skullgirls updates for two whole weeks after the announced ETA.
 
Can anyone get to NeoGAF's OT for Skullgirls and crosspost about the lack of PS3 Big Band? Ravidrath seems to check there most often, and I'd do it myself, but I don't have a NeoGAF account (and getting one would take longer than any Skullgirls update).
 
Don't do it! You have too many Western anime games to live for!

Yes, please sound the alarm to further confuse and scare everyone before we get an official word about whether there's actually anything to be alarmed about!
