Not only the additions of the 2 Super Siyans 3's, but the changed logo and in-game interface(lack of "Royale" in the logo, different UI) spark my interest as well. Is Zenkai finally hitting it's 3.0 version after the 3 year long 2.0/Super Saiyan Awakening update? If so, we can expect more updates besides the new characters (or a port, please).

Not only that but Bandai Namco has yet again released their "How to Play" character videos, leaving SSGSS Goku and Golden Freeza the only characters to be covered:

I don't know French, but nothing in that English translated scan says anything about any consoles. It's entirely related to arcade updates from what I can gather.

It doesn't say it won't be for consoles either, though.

It specifically says that it's an arcade game in the scan and nothing else. I really, really, really want a port of this, but this isn't a port announcement.

Yeah, sorry, I read this too fast and didn't see you wrote "scan".

Does 3.0 include any hardware upgrades or is this purely a software patch?

The news part of the site doesn't mention any hardware changes, it will probably be like the previous "Super Saiyan Awakening" update where it's indeed just a software patch.

Double Post but the site has fully updated, so here are all the new things the game's getting, this will be a bit image-heavy:

Gameplay/System Updates
Rematch option
As mentioned on the main site "The “One More Game!” mode will allow players who win in Team Battle mode to request to play together again in the next match. If both players request the feature, they will continue onward together."
Image
Zenkai Tag Burst
Iniciated by pressing "Up+Strike+Jump" on the arcade machine, this acts as a new Tag Team attack to deal additional damage to the opponent.
Image
During the attack, if one of the team-mates presses "Start" they can recieve a little bit of health.
Image
Guard Crash
Players can now crush the opponents guard by dealing continuos strikes, breaking the shield bit-by-bit, if said shield is destroyed, the opponent must wait a bit until it comes back (I'm guessing it works like J-Stars in that it's tied to the energy gauge) or be simply knocked down.
Image

Content Updates
Stages
2 new stages were added to the game, these are:
Kaioshin World
Image
Image
Kame House
Image
Image
Characters
Saved the best for last, the new 2 characters are:
Super Saiyan 3 Goku
With attacks such as "Super Dragon Fist" and "True Kamehameha", you wil be able to explode with power.
Image
Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta
Showing his powers, Vegeta brings "Infinity Down Burst", "Big Bang Blazer" and "Saiyan Warrior Race" to the table to show who's the "Real Number 1".
Image

The updated is scheduled to roll out on the 30th,all the information is taken from http://db-zenkai.com/ver3/news/

You know, I thought I'd stopped caring about this game. I thought we didn't need a port, now that we have the likes of Xenoverse available. But darn it, this game still has so many unique and interesting elements going for it. Absolutely loving the designs of those stages; they're filled with little details throughout, such as the book in the field and the interior of Kame House. If there's one department that almost every DB fighter is lacking in, it's definitely the stages. Each location has so much potential and it's great to see this game being just that little bit more creative with them.

DB Xenoverse is not a DBZ simulator with fighting elements, it's a semi competent fighting/action game with DBZ simulation elements.

You mean those icons of Goku and Vegeta doing the fusion pose? It's an emoticon that you can attach to your Player Name that other people can see in matchmaking and during the matches.

The in-game models for the SS3s actually look pretty bad. Worse than the images being used on their character pages and in promotion, which seems strange seeing how all the others (excluding new guys like Beerus, Golden Freeza, etc) are just new textures on Spike's last set of models. Both Goku and Vegeta looked pretty good back in the Raging Blast series, so I'm not really sure why they felt the need to shrink the hair and add in more spikes...
