I don't see why it would be unlikely at all to be released in the US. The same company owns ALL the rights to the characters, since they publish Jump. They own Viz in the US and effectively own the rights in the US as well. Anime series licensing are exclusive to the TV series alone, nothing more. There are also no voices in the game so there would be no problems with getting the same voices for the game.

I got my copy and my pre-order booklet today.
I've spent a couple of hours on it so far.
Seems like good fun. You probably spend more time setting up your deck than fighting, but it's all good
One thing... importers who don't speak Japanese are gonna have a tricky time. A lot of the missions in single player mode have objectives written in Japanese. I'm sure we'll be able to help you get through it, but just a heads up. I've unlocked quite a lot of One Piece and Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo stuff so far. I got V-Jump too so I've unlocked the Eyeshield char and Sasuke.

I had a feeling there would be a lot of Japanese text to deal with. It is a manga based game, after all. That won't stop me though.Jonnyram said:I got my copy and my pre-order booklet today.

The fact that I won't have a home address for another day or two will stop me, though.

it depends on what kind of agreement nintendo made with shueisha, the publisher of Shonen Jump. If the licensing deal is only about Japan, then Nintendo would have to get the license from whoever publishes SJ in NA, however, if theylicensed it for a worldwide release, then there's no problem at all, especially since it's a first party game

ordered Jump SS and Ouendan from play-asia just now = I am such a sucker
This game is really going to be massive. I have a feeling that Nintendo will bring it to the US too if they can sort out the licenses. It's got a lot in common with Smash Brothers, and even though I don't have a great love of all things Jump, I still enjoy the wacky character designs.

Hey Jonnyram, just wondering if you have tried these?

Yes, I bought the mag myself and used the one that came with it. Ah, I guess I said the guy from Eyeshield before, rather than Slam Dunk... my mistake. They're only good as help characters at the start because you don't get serif frames for those manga until later in the game. I think they are SP help characters though. I haven't tried them to see what they do actually.
I think there's going to be a lot of translation requests going on here when people get the game. Each proper stage has 4 or 5 conditions you have to fill to get new manga frames, and they're always pretty different.

Hell yes. It's massive fun, and that's how you get all the manga piecesmutsu said:
I've done the first world (of five?) and got a lot of One Piece, Bobobo-bo Bobobo and Shaman King stuff. Some of the stages are just "Beat everyone up", some are "Kick in all the walls", but most of the extra stuff comes from conditions like "Finish with X secs left on the clock", "Win without getting KO'd once", "Win with a certain number of support frames in your deck", etc.
My only complaint is that it's a little on the easy side so far, but I've only just reached the second world so it has plenty of time to get harder. But yes, I would say Ouendan is more fun for me too... it just depends what kind of stuff you like. Having said that, I didn't like Smash Bros, but I like JSS. This is in no way a slur on the quality of JSS... Ouendan is THAT good!
I can only imagine Ouendan would be so much better because it's the most awesome game ever made ever. And it's totally totally rad.
If you're really thinking of importing anything and don't know that much about Jump, I'd suggest you'd import Ouendan, because it probably isn't coming to the US in any form.
That said, I'm still wondering how JSS actually plays. Does every character only have attack, up+attack, down+attack(throw, I think?), strong attack, special 1 & 2? Does Up+strong attack actually do a different attack?
Also, can you chain a normal attack into a hard attack or special? That makes or breaks an anime/manga-based fighting game!

It seems you can do different strong attacks, but I'll have to confirm. It's worth bearing in mind that there is more than one occurence of some of the chars. e.g. you can call Luffy in a couple of different ways, and they both have different special moves.amodf said:
Yes, chaining is important. You can also parry. Plus your attacks are different if you are airborne and there is a charge attack you can do while running at an opponent.

This game plays a lot like SSBM and that's a good thing. The only complaint I have is reaching for the appropiate touchscreen to switch characters and using supporting character. I have to press really fast to avoid being vulnerble and doing that usually ends up with me pressing the screen harder than I should be doing. I am worried that I might break the screen by force if I get too into the game.
You don't need flash cart if you have the right wireless card to play this demo.
