take that us :(

Kinda figured we wouldn't get it.. One piece always been hit and miss

WildArmed3945d ago (Edited 3945d ago )

I'm glad we are getting Pirate Warriors 1/2.

So I'll take what we can get, and put my hand over my heart for the ones we can't.

One Piece Hit and Miss???? it's one of my favorite animes, i like it better then Naruto and Bleach

exfatal3945d ago

I meant as game that get localized not the quality of the anime lol

This is exactly the reason why region locking is wrong. Namco Bandai make a dumbass move to not get more money, Nintendo region lock absolutely everything with their name on it, gamers lose out.

krontaar3945d ago

Looked like crap anyway. Hardly any one piece fans in murrica, too.

UNGR3945d ago (Edited 3945d ago )

Hardly any One Piece fans? Are you serious? The ratings that show drags in makes American television look like child's play, it has fans all over the world. One Piece aside, anime in itself has MILLIONS of fans in the US, and Canada. Millions more all around the world. Region locking is stupid. Japanese developers have no idea how much they would make with PS3, and 360 releases in the rest of the world. Especially with big names like One Piece. I personally am waiting for a Hunter x Hunter video game, or a Shingeki No Kyojin game. Then again they'll probably have the region locking slapped on without one single thought about the millions of fans around the world that would love to play them. Rant aside don't be stupid, One Piece has fans everywhere, and probably has the largest manga/anime fanbase ever, do not underestimate that series.

EDIT. Probably because it wasn't advertised, I didn't know it was coming out until the day it was out. If people advertised the game properly it would have sold well, and it was advertised horrendously.

Don't market your games, don't expect revenue. Simple as that. Take a look at Alan Wake. Fantastic game, cult classic for sure, and not near enough sales to show it. Granted it sold enough to make it's profit, but you get my point. Advertise wrong, and the sales will suffer.

Pirate warriors didnt sell very well here, so why would this?

NeXXXuS3945d ago

Sad because your avatar is an Ussop cosplayer.

krontaar3945d ago

I love one piece, but I gotta tell it like it is.

SonyPS43945d ago

I am not a fan yet but I am interested.

animegamingnerd3945d ago

ChristCenteredGamer One Piece: Romance Dawn review

One Piece: Romance Dawn is a game with a lot of potential, but feels like a missed opportunity. The pieces - comic/manga cutscenes, anime cutscenes, and a neat battle and crafting system, all sound like a recipe for success. But instead, we have a game that is mediocre, with flaws in all of them. If you are a hardcore fan of One Piece, you could do worse. And honestly, the game isn't all bad. But the Nintendo 3DS' library is so fantastic, there are so many better ways to spend your time than this game.

Never been a fan of One Piece to be honest.

One Piece: Romance Dawn Review | GB

"Just to be clear- I don't watch One Piece. I actually don't even have the slightest clue what the series is about. All I know is that it is a popular anime that's been pretty long running."

Review: One Piece: Romance Dawn [Save/Continue]

Save/Continue writes: No nonsense here. One Piece: Romance Dawn is a $40 piece of garbage. There is absolutely nothing engaging or likable or even moderately fun about Namco Bandai‘s latest entry into the One Piece series of game adaptations.
