Despite One Piece: Unlimited World Red being the thirty-sixth entry, and the fifth in the Unlimited series, it is very likely that you have never encountered the world of One Piece. Based on Eiichiro Oda's shonen manga and anime series of the same name, the One Piece series is about as Japanese as you can possibly get. The game in question within this review, One Piece: Unlimited World Red, was originally released on the Nintendo 3DS in Japan last year, but is now heading to the American and European markets on the 3DS, Wii U, PlayStation Vita and PS3. Despite being complete newcomers to the series, we were excited to start our journey into One Piece.
"Amazon is offering up to 88% off on digital video games for PS4, PS3, PS Vta and Xbox One. Games include Battlefield Hardline, Madden NFL 16, One Piece Unlimited World Red, Halo: The Master Chief Collection and lots more!"
In its financial report for the Fiscal Year 2015, Bandai Namco showed healthy numbers for its latest software titles. Most notably, the firm's latest game release, Dragon Ball Xenoverse, has sold 2.06 million units as of March 31st, 2015. The other game figures revealed were:
-Naruto Shippuden Ultimate: Ninja Storm Revolution - 1 million units
-One Piece: Unlimited World Red - 650k units
-Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment - 570k units
I hope Sword Art Online's figures are enough to convince Namco to localise more Vita titles. Digimon and SAO Lost Song would be pretty nice to have!
Bandai Namco provided an update on the sales of One Piece: Unlimited World Red in its latest financial results report. Since launch, the game has moved 650,000 copies. That figure includes shipments to retailers and digital sales.
