Yeah it's pretty similar to those games.
I was sincerly wondering what would've been this year's OP game.
Also, what does the mention of Switch at the bottom say, for curiosity's sake? J Hero Battle Arena is the hub website for all the Namco Jump games, but I was curious about the Switch mention there

I have this game on PS3 and I didn't like it at all... and I'm a massive One Piece nerd
Maybe I just didn't spend enough time with it, but the Unlimited Wii series felt waaay more polished and interesting than it :/

Aw, could never get into the Unlimited series. We need more games like the Grand Battle or Pirate Warrior games.
Actually this reminds me I stopped reading the current arc because I don't like Sanji lol.

Out of all the one piece games to remaster why this one? lol

As much as I love the Gigant Battle series a whole lot I wish we could get another Grand Battle like the PS2/GCN ones... I really miss those elaborate and long special attacks, they were so cool. I guess both Super Grand Battle X and Burning Blood fill this void a bit, but it's not the same...
It's really hard to describe... it's like the One Piece Wii games which are pretty unique I think... You fight people, you collect materials by fishing and catching bugs while progressing the story at your own pace. And in Unlimited Adventure at least the world's big enough
Omega Force is busy and this was the easiest for Ganbarion I'm guessing.

Yup Ganbarion maker of Pandora's Tower and:
Unlimited Adventure (Wii)
Unlimited Cruise Pt. 1 and 2 (Wii)
Unlimited Cruise SP Pt. 1 and 2 (3DS)
Unlimited World Red (3DS, PSV, PS3, Wii U)
This rerelease on a portable system matches up with how Unlimited Cruise was ported to the 3DS years after near launch as Unlimited Cruise SP with a Marineford mode.
I'm a big fan of these games since Unlimited Adventure. Greatly perfer them to the Pirate Warriors games as they better capture the sense of adventure of the manga.
Also I loved it having the Funimation dubbed voices and I'm sad it's the only game to have them. Funimation actually just hit the timeskip in the Anima after 500 or so episodes.
Play through the first and imported the PAL Cruise (crazy how Adventure was America only) on Wii U for the local versus mode. Maybe I'll import Cruise 3DS too now that the 3DS is closer to its end.
Yes you're not alone on that my friend, I enjoyed the heck out of Unlimited Cruise Ep1 & Ep2 on the Wii. World Red felt way slower when it came to the combat and the manoeuvre system if I recall correctly, I only played it for around an hour or two and it just didn't feel good to play.
Unlimited Cruise definitely felt like it had better gameplay and world/level design.
Actually, this isn't the first time the game is ported to other systems. While here in the West all the SKUs released simultaneously, in Japan UWR came out on PS3, Vita and Wii U several months later than the original 3DS's release.

Yeah that's exactly what I remember, combat was just really clunky and slow ): And the town... eh...
Maybe I'll get it for the Switch one day and give it another try...
Those ports all bombed too which males this a bit of a headscratcher.

And I was just thinking yesterday about downloading this to my Vita.
Great news. In for Switch.

Meh, the PS3 port already felt too strong like a portable game. Why the hell would they put it on PS4? I honestly can't see how they would make any money out of it.

My thoughts too. They already remastered it once and it did kinda poorly, not seeing the point of this other than the obvious "the next One Piece game from Ganbarion is coming to PS4/Switch so we want to get the last one on those platforms too".
If they release this remaster in the west (which seems to be the main audience for One Piece home console games) also on PC+Xbox One and market it correctly they can make easy money banking off One Piece's popularity. The PS3/Wii U version was released 8 months after PS4 came out so this game didn't get much of a shot in the west on non-handhelds.

I'll take it but I'm still looking for that Pirate Warriors 4 announcement.

I could really go for a Pirate Warriors 4 about now. Pity that series is on hiatus.

My guess is that it was the quickest most cheapest way possible to get Ganbarion familiar with both the PS4 and Switch.
I don't know about that, Red was blatantly watered down and a very straight forward game compared to it's predecessor Cruise. Cruise outshines it from a gameplay, world and mission design aspect, and the removal of sprinting in Red was a crime, that felt really great in Cruise.
Though subjective you could say visually Red was better, for me personally I found Cruise's aesthetics to be more natural and pleasing. The cell shaded look in Red seemed to be cranked a bit too high resulting in little detail on the characters and a very mushy look.

I heard this one wasn't very good....

A very pointless port without any new content.
I already have the original on PS3, so I see no reason to double-dip just for enhanced graphics and DLC alone.
Improve the gameplay and combat, add new game modes, or hire Funimation to dub the game.
Either of those three things would encourage me to buy it.

I bought the first one on some killer sale but I never really played it lmao
I love that the combat system encourages doing all the combos without falling over.
Presumably they don't have faith in the game selling well enough on the Switch alone.

Yeh.. it's pretty weird....
Original release:
3DS One Piece: Unlimited World Red 77.105 282.637 Bandai Namco 11/21/2013
Ports:
PS3 One Piece: Unlimited World Red 18.479 32.266 Bandai Namco 6/12/2014
PSV One Piece: Unlimited World Red 9.470 15.036 Bandai Namco 6/12/2014
WIU One Piece: Unlimited World Red 4.242 6.085 Bandai Namco 6/12/2014
I had fun with the game on Wii U (hadn't played any of the previous OP Unlimited games), but I don't see the point of porting it forward with no new content. Oh well, hope it does well and that Ganbarion is working on a new game for the series.

I bought this when it originally came out on PS3, but I didn't like it very much. Pretty much the only One Piece games I liked are the Warriors ones tbh.
I echo this sentiment. It tries much harder to be a musou knockoff and a majority of the game is stretched corridors unlike the openness of the Adventure/Cruise games.
I think Koei said that series was taking a break? Makes sense, there's really not enough new content from the manga for another game just yet. If they wait for the manga to get a bit into the Wano arc, there will probably be enough content.
Anyway, I thought Red was decent, though not as good as Unlimited Adventure. It's a serviceable beat-em-up with some light crafting/RPG elements. Good filler for the Switch until they hit the Fall lineup.
Had this for Wii U the day it came out. I'll usually take whatever One Piece game I can get lol. Sadly I couldn't do any of the quick time mini games due to the Wii U buttons. Holy crap it is hard to train yourself to learn the layout after forever with PS and Xbox. The combo system was a little too simple. I feel like Pirate Warriors only gives you a few more moves but you feel like you have way more options. It's also a hell of a lot more fun to play.
The thread title had me excited for a second. Now I'm a little let down. What a strange port.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Decent OP game, but nowhere near one of the best. Actually way down the list for me, although the story was like watching good filler and it looked amazing. The Wii games were this but better.
It's not Romance Dawn levels of bad (I was really excited for a OP RPG and it turned out to be one of the worst RPGs I'd ever played), or even bad at all, but it's not exactly memorable either.
I think they chose to remaster it because it looks really nice to begin with and has an art style that would benefit a lot from being touched up and seen in higher res.
