There's a massive crossover in fans between anime and gaming. So, why are we stuck with countless, near-identical shonen fighting games?
With PlayStation Now’s May lineup, you can try to survive unrelenting yokai in feudal Japan, rub shoulders with manga icons, and battle your way across an entire city. Starting tomorrow, May 4, Nioh, Jump Force and Streets of Rage 4 will be available to play on your PS5 or PS4 console.
Ohh I always wanted to try Jump Force. Can get back on my fantasy of being Goku :)
Nioh was given out on PS Plus around a year ago (most people who have PS Now also have PS Plus) and Jump Force is not particularly good. There's a big gap in quality between PS Plus and PS Now.
Bandai Namco announced the release date of the upcoming DLC for Jump Force, bringing the playable character Giorno Giovanna.
Bandai Namco released a new trailer of its fighting action game Jump Force, focusing on the upcoming playable character Giorno Giovanna.
Because the devs are usually more interested in style over substance
J Ultimate Stars on the DS was amazing. It played like Smash and you would knock people off of Manga panels. I don't understand why they can't just make it like that. The games are straight trash now.
Likely licensing characters which cost a crap ton I believe
Just like a lot of anime series that are based on ongoing mangas, the games are just made as a marketing tool for the manga, thus not having the budget or being quickly rushed out.
