"J-Stars Victory VS+" Official Discussion Thread

[Mewzard]

Oh, I hope they have a lot of good franchises in addition. I'm rooting for Saint Seiya, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Fist of the North Star, Yu Yu Hakusho, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, Rurouni Kenshin, Mazinger Z, Ring ni Kakero, Dr. Slump, Sandland, Neko Majin Z, and such like that.

A good variety of series could make this an insanely fun, impossible to localize game (the curse of the awesomeness, just ask Super Robot Wars).

[Wobbuffet]

It would be impossible for Mazinger Z to appear, since now it belongs to Kodansha.

I'll make my own wish list soon. I don't know why I didn't made one yet!

[songohan619]

Okey, then, my wishlist:

Dragon Ball Z: Goku, Gohan (Cell Games)

Naruto: Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi, Rock Lee

One Piece: Luffy, Zoro, Ace

Neko Majin Z: Z

[Choujin Daizenshuu]

License or no license, people on this side of the ocean will find ways to play this game. If it has JUMP crossover characters, who can resist?

Hell, I'm just eager to give Son Goku a Fork and Knife!

I'd love for this to be for PS3 but something's telling me it's going to be for the 3DS or Vita (maybe even for the Wii U).

Let's just hope it uses characters that are licensed by Viz and Funimation, then we just might see an overseas release, if not I don't really see it happening tbh.

So, One Piece, Dragon Ball and Toriko, and maybe stuff like Bleach or Naruto will be announced as well... There actually is a small chance that this could work, although if Bleach is included, I think Sony owns the US rights to publish the Bleach games :/

Bleach's video game publishing rights are a bit complicated. SEGA has it for Nintendo platforms worldwide. Sony owns the publishing rights to Bleach games on PlayStation hardware in Japan only. Until last year's Bleach: Soul Resurrección none of the PlayStation titles were released outside of Japan. NIS America picked up publishing duties and released it in North America, and Europe.

Naruto used to be in a similar situation where Namco Bandai owned the PlayStation rights, Takara Tomy the Nintendo rights, and Ubisoft the Xbox rights but now it appears Namco Bandai has the publishing license for all platforms.

I wonder if that's the reason why the Gamecube/Wii fighting series stopped. While Bleach worked well in Jump Ultimate Stars, the fact that the anime is over might make a future crossover a bit less likely. Battlestadium DON was such a weird, weird game.

[hulkty]

Poor every other character in this game that isn't Goku.

[Wobbuffet]

It's time for me to speculate. I'm not including Dragon Ball, One Piece and Toriko on this.

(Edit: confirmed series are striked)

Series that almost certainly will be in the game because they are still being published or ended a short time ago:
Bakuman (no playable characters)
Beelzebub
Bleach
Gintama
Hunter X Hunter
Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Kochikame
Kuroko no Basket (no playable characters)
Medaka Box
Naruto
Nurarihyon no Mago
Sket Dance

Series that are too recent but are being promoted like hell, so they have a chance to appear:
Assassination Classroom
High Kyuu!! (no playable characters)
Nisekoi (no playable characters)
PSI Kusuo Saiki

Old series that got new anime:
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
Saint Seiya

Other series with good chances:
Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo
D. Gray-Man
Death Note (no playable characters)
Dr. Slump
Hokuto no Ken
Kinnikuman
Rurouni Kenshin
Shaman King
Slam Dunk (no playable characters)
The Prince of Tennis (no playable characters)
To-Love-ru
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Yu Yu Hakusho

My wish list, including series that most probably won't be in the game:
Bastard!!
Black Cat
Busou Renkin
Hareluya II BOY
Hikaru no Go (no playable characters)
Houshin Engi
I''s (no playable characters)
Sexy Commando Gaiden: Sugoi Yo Masaru-san!

Well, I guess that's it. This reminds of when Budokai Tenkachi 3 was on the works and people were making character lists. But I think that only protagonists will be playable in this game. It's better that way, or else we would get less series.

[dbzfan7]

I want to see Mightiest of Warriors Gohan and Mr. Satan

[Super Sayian Prime]

Additional scan:

[mysticboy]

I get the feeling that this will be released some time around July.

[Super Sayian Prime]

I'm agreeing with Sparky on the first page. That Goku model looks like Spike's stuff.

[Saiga]

So I suppose Naruto will be in this as well? I really hope Bleach makes it in. Other than that, I don't really have any other wishes.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Goku, Luffy, Naruto, and even Arale? It' mine already.

[Super Sayian Prime]

Goku, Luffy, Naruto, and even Arale? It' mine already.

Pretty sure the bottom half is unrelated.

Paying more attention to it, yes, maybe. But it is still a big possibility, unless if it is only a Dragon Ball x One Piece x Toriko game.

[Xeogran]

Dragon Ball x One Piece x Toriko game.

My interest for this game would really fall down then. The ultimate Jump game can't only have three series, where one of them is pretty new.

[dbboxkaifan]

If Luffi turns Kaio-ken or whatever he does to red, then it'd be pretty cool to play as him. Not sure about Toriko.

From the pilot episode it was just like searching for Pokémons, but in Toriko's case, he'd eat them. I lost interested by its first episode.

[Rukura]

If it turned out to be an HD version of Jump Ultimate Stars, it'd be amazing. Here's hoping it's on the PS3 so that nobody has to worry about it being region locked, if it doesn't come out in the West.

If Luffi turns Kaio-ken or whatever he does to red

So, basically, Luffy's Gear Second lol.

[Super Sayian Prime]

It won't be Jump Stars HD or anything like that. Nintendo co-created the Jump Stars games with Ganbarion. They own the IP. Namco Bandai is publishing this game.

By "HD version of Jump Ultimate Stars", I meant the gameplay style. Which, going by Sony's m.o., they can do. Hell, it was done before with D.O.N.
