Actual hope for a Wii U retail release in NA? Play-Asia has the Wii U version listed for NA, and I'm pretty sure they don't sell NA download codes:

idk if play-asia's reliable, but damn I hope there's a physical release for Wii U. I'm saving my remaining 23gb for this and I hope it doesn't take up too much space.

I hate Gamestop, but if it's exclusive retail I'd suck up my pride and buy it if it means physical.

With the release so close, I doubt we'll get a dub once again. I'd love to be wrong. Either way, I'm looking forward to July! I hate the yearly summer drought of games so this should keep me occupied. The HD version is looking really good.

Kind of looking forward to this, trailer looks pretty good imo. I'm really debating checking out the show, but there are so many episodes it seems pretty daunting.

We can keep hoping. I know a lot of people prefer sub's but I just love funimations English cast.

Same. I like both, but I like to hear things in my own language. Playing Pirate Warriors made it distracting for me to try and read the character's speeches while keeping up with the action.

I also vastly prefer Robin's English voice over her original Japanese voice, but that's just me. Kinda sucks that Unlimited Adventure was the only and final Funimation dubbed game. Really want dual-audio for this.

They put that listing up days after the localisation was announced. Play-Asia tends to jump the gun with this sort of thing a lot. :(

It's like how they put up a pre-order for a physical PAL version of Ducktales on Wii U right after it was only announced in Europe for PS3. http://www.play-asia.com/ducktales-remastered-paOS-13-49-en-70-457p.html

Woah, Vita physical copy= amazing news. This game looks perfect for portable, guess I won't be getting PS3 version anymore. Still have Pirate Warriors 2 for when I want OP on consoles.

I think ANN got the date wrong. That's the Japanese release date. There's no release date for the US apart from "July 2014" according to Namco's own site. None of ANN's own sources seem to have anything suggesting it'd release in the US on 6/12 either.

ANN definitely got it wrong.

Boooo, the lack of dubs in One Piece games is really disheartening. Especially since the Funimation cast has been doing an amazing job.

Funi is waaaaay too behind. They just got the rights to Thriller Bark.

Agreed. I was hoping the North American version would include an English dub, considering it's coming to retail for 3 different platforms (PS3/3DS being available to all retailers). It gives the games a bigger audience. Add to the fact some people who only catch the show on Toonami (or know about it) could see this game on the shelves only to be turned off with the lack of the dub they are most familiar with when they play. Unlimited Adventure can't satisfy my crave for dub OP games for very long.

But I'm still excited for this title, so I'll be picking it up day one, since it's OP and a summer game. I've picked up every game released so far in the US since Funimation picked up the OP license. I've been rooting for dual-audio ever since Pirate Warriors, but the chances of that happening keep getting slimmer.

No idea, I had thought it was announced and planned only for 3DS. Surprised to see it announced for more, especially Wii U, although I guess the more platforms it's on the better... (for licensed games like this at least)
Click to expand...

I scanned the thread and I didn't see that anybody answered this, sorry if this is old but Bandai Namco announced the other three platforms in I think beginning of April. Comes out June 12 in Japan.

Developer Ganbarion lists itself on all versions.

Damn I new those graphics in the trailer looked too good to be 3DS =(

Well, you can see for yourself from the original 3DS trailers (before there were any announced plans to port) what the game looks like on that system specifically. None too shabby, I thought like you did that the 3DS version must be some second-hand version with no relation to what we've seen (it's so sad how we've been trained to underestimate this machine!!), but it looks like it really is more or less the same game across all the systems.

I've got the Japanese version of this game, and it's not too bad. If you dig the Unlimited games then you'll like it. It's easily one of the best looking games on the 3ds too.
Click to expand...

Any chance you can elaborate on that? I saw the trailer and I was very, very enthused by it (and I'm not a One-Piece fan... to be honest, I just love any game with a grappling-hook mechanic and that's what sold me on this game.) Great graphics and some complex mechanics, from what I saw in the trailer. How's it play?

The earliest non bullshot video of the game had it amongst the three best looking 3DS games. The other ports remind me a lot of the RE:R ports where sure, they look better than the original, but not terribly much.

Does anyone have a good idea of how big Unlimited World Red is for the Wii U/PS3?

I think the 3DS version is close to 3-4gb? I just wanted to know so I can manage whatever 22GB I have left on my Wii U.

I'm still not sure on which platform I'll be purchasing the game on.

I'd like to purchase it for the 3DS since it was the lead platform, and I've heard that it's optimized extremely well and looks great.

I'd like to purchase it for the Vita since...well...it's limited. A physical copy of the Vita version in a year or so will likely be incredibly difficult to find, especially considering that it's an Gamestop/EBGames exclusive in NA.

I'd like to purchase it for the PS3 so I can enjoy it on my HDTV, along with 5.1 surround sound.

At this rate, I'll probably be purchasing the game three times. ~_~

What's your favorite platform of the three? Buy it on that one. No need to overspend unless you want to.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
With the Vita version you'll probably get the best of both worlds means the HD upgraded graphics as well as the portability.

Will get it on Vita as long as they don't screw up the port.

Funny thing is, I don't really have a favorite.

I enjoy the PS3 since, as I've mentioned, I can enjoy it on the big screen with a comfortable controller in my hand. However, for the 3DS/Vita versions, it's nice having that freedom of portability so I can play it while I'm away. :/

But yeah, you're right. Buying the copy three times, especially two on the handheld, seems a bit unwarranted. I guess I'll come to a decision soon enough, but I'll still likely purchase the PS3 version along with one of the portable versions [either the 3DS or Vita].

Yeah, hopefully the Vita port is as good [or better] than the 3DS one. If it is, that makes my choice a whole lot easier. I guess we'll know for sure when the PS3/Vita/Wii U versions are released in Japan this June.

Did those motherfuckers actually put nakama in a press release!?

... Otherwise I'm glad to see this stuff brought out, although I feel like I'd want to get through One Piece to really care (and pick out whatever games are actually worthwhile.)

Dat Kaizoku-Fansubs influence.

I noticed GameStop seems to have the Day One version exclusive for all versions, even though Amazon has Day One for the PS3.

No Wii U Day One is saddening.

The good thing about that is they still have a lot of content to market.
