i agree with all of these!!!

Snookies124140d ago

Oh sweet, first time I've heard about this!

jujubee884140d ago

This game should be very popular among anime/manga fans.

Specifically, those that like the "Bleach Heat the Soul", 'Naruto Ninja Storm', and DBZ fighting game series. Of course, also those into Shonen Jump (or however you spell it) should know about this.

Snookies124140d ago (Edited 4140d ago )

Yeah, not sure how I missed it... On that note though, I hope they do a new Heat the Soul for Vita. Those games were really good.

Also, having looked at the list of characters they brought up... Every single one is a good choice. Though I don't know much about One Piece, that aside the Bleach, DBZ, and Naruto picks were spot on.

jujubee884140d ago

Not sure what is going on with the Bleach IP. The manga is terrific but I have not seen any new manga or video games (outside of one for PS3 a while back).

Maybe, they are waiting to get well into this new arc w/ the Quincy.

Having played heat the soul, I was not a huge fan. Maybe this new game will win me over.

@jujubee

I think that's probably due to them putting the anime on hold, which I don't blame them, I really can't be arsed with a year or 2 of filler again.

As for manga, do you not read the translated versions each week? The story is very good at the minute :)

OneAboveAll4140d ago

First I have heard about this but let's be honest here... none of these clowns would be able to touch the Z fighters. With that said... pointless.

brodychet4140d ago

The Z fighters are the most exaggerated characters in any show. That being said; I love them <3

NovusTerminus4140d ago

Any word on this coming stateside?

jujubee884140d ago

This game was barely revealed in Japan and Namco Bandai has only been teasing new info in Japanese.

I am guessing it is a mid-to-late 2013 US release (at best).

NovusTerminus4140d ago

Oh... Yeah... I forgot about that, for some reason I was thinking this was close to coming out.

Whoops! Thanks dude!

-Mika-4140d ago

This game is never coming to the states. There would be too many licensing issues. Thankfully the vita and ps3 is region free so we cold just import.

crinale4140d ago

For once I Agree with Mika lol.
The licensing in Japan and stateside is mixed up way too much.
This doesn't become a problem when game/comic/video is released for one particular franchise.
However, when a game contains many franchise at once things get really ugly.

TuxedoMoon4140d ago

Jump has an entire backlog of amazing characters and this list is only one piece, Bleach, Naruto and DBZ?

"but just a few characters from those series were revealed Tux!"

If this is a console cross over Jump game, it just has to be inline with the Jump All-stars DS game. Meaning it needs a diverse cast of characters from the many years of Jump mangas/Magazines. I'd hope it's more like smash bros, where it celebrates the many years of jump.

Give me Yusuke urameshi, Saint Seiya, Yugi-moto, Yoh (Shaman king) and Kenshiro! They just need to mimic the roster from that Jump all stars DS game to satisfy almost everyone.

gunnerforlife4140d ago

as of right now its a Ps3/vita Exclusive!

CrescentFang4140d ago

Agreed... I haven't read Toriko yet, but I'm surprised he wasn't in the list since his silhouette (along with Luffy and Goku) were in the teaser.

nyobzoo4045d ago

was wondering what happened to this game, hopefully they'll have a release date soon

IAMERROR4045d ago

if this game doesn't get localized I will cry...

Simon_Brezhnev4045d ago

They probably wont localize it well it depends. Since its so many shows if has to get licensed for each one.

Endless_X4045d ago

Finally we are getting something.

SoundGamer4045d ago

From what I understand, they're just revealing another character (which I'm guessing will be Naruto since he was already leaked).

Though, I would be happy with more.

Endless_X4045d ago

10 days countdown for just 1 character reveal ? hmmm I don't know, we might get something else.

Williamson4044d ago

I would loved to see some bleach and yu yu hakusho characters in the game.

CNCOMICS4044d ago

My hopes are actually high for a localization.

The reason being is that Namco Bandai also has the Western video game license for all three of these franchises, and then Funimation has the Western video game license for the voice acting. And for good measure, Viz Media also has the Western license on the printed side. And all three of these business seem to work together very well.

No license-localization nightmare. That's almost what killed Tatsunoko vs Capcom from crossing over the Pacific.

Goku's Kamehameha looks badass!

Godchild10204140d ago

Looking at that third image... The game looks crazy and I can't wait to see some videos of the game in motion on both the Vita and the PS3. The Vita more than the PS3 though.

negroguy4140d ago

I watch some anime but have never heard of Toriko. It must be good if its in the same league of dragonball and one piece.

jonboi244140d ago

Hope Naruto and Bleach gets in on this....

Tonester9254140d ago

Naruto is in the third picture

Snookies124139d ago (Edited 4139d ago )

Uh dude, Naruto isn't in any of these lol.

Though I do hope Naruto and Bleach will be in this as well. There's no way they can leave out those two huge franchises. :]

Kaslonian4204139d ago

Actually he IS in the backround of the 6th picture. you can even see his shadow on the ground underneath him. xD

Snookies124139d ago

Yeah, he is in fact there, I didn't see him in the background haha. My bad on that one.
