Jump Super Stars (NDS): first screen shot
- Thread starter neo2046
- Start date
I really want this to be good, I really, really do, but seeing it now...the small screen gives me some apprehension. I hope the arenas are not that small and that they scroll. Also while I loved the concept, the in-game character sprites don't seem terribly detailed. If they're going to go the 2d route, they better have ACE animation.

Looks like 8-player battles ... craziness.
Maybe you can use the bottom screen as a broader "overview" of where everyone else is in the arena while the top screen focuses on your character.

Do they have to? It would seem as if the only company they'd have to negotiate with is Shueisha.Helena said:

Oh I suspect Yamauchi's alleged ties to the Japanese Yakuza will make even the American companies "compromise".

Isn't 4Kids tight with Nintendo like Halliburton is with Dick Cheany? :lol
I don't see them being a problem, but hey, Nintendo could always (gasp) replace the anime characters with their own Nintendo characters for a worldwide release.

Well, I'm interested. Don't know a single character, but its not like that's anything new in gaming.

I get the feeling in 5-6 years Nintendo will be one of the largest anime companies in the world, if not the single largest one.
It just seems like everytime they hit a roadblock, something else springs up and takes off for them.

Yes, but none of those companies own the characters. They license them.
The question is, do those American companies have *exclusive* licenses to create/publish videogames based on the various series? If not, then there's no issue.
Clearly, no company in Japan has exclusive rights to any of these series. So I sincerely doubt that Shueisha would give American licensors more power.

So in Japan the individual creators of these franchises own the characters?
That's interesting, I didn't know that.
That would sorta be like Stan Lee or Jack Kirby owning the Marvel Comics characters themselves in not Marvel Comics.

I'm not sure, but I imagine that when you get to be a superstar creator like Toriyama you can pretty much set the rules for retaining ownership. No idea how it all works though. I'm just going off the fact that a host of studios are credited in that ad.soundwave05 said:
For example, after "2004 Nintendo" it credits Toriyama Akira, Bird Studio.

Who says it has a zoom? We don't know how close this game will play to Smash Bros yet, could be fixed arenas.
I doubt it as it looks really cramped if so, but it's a small screen, I don't think they're going to want the characters getting that much smaller.

Awesome! I've been waiting to see this game. It looks a lot like Smash Bros. Hopefully the gameplay is just as good. I only see player number markers on Goku and Luffy. Those characters on top might be items or summons. The markers for Naruto and Sasuke might be being covered by the health bars. The health bars look different than the ones in SSB. Maybe they have a different KO system.
I think the 2D graphics look very nice. It looks much better than anything I've seen on GBA. I can't wait for more info. Hook us up with some nice impressions when you play it, John TV.

This is gonna sell like mad, especially since jump will publish ads in their mangas for this game, thats a LOT of readers.
Cant wait to see this in motion, sprite animation is the main interesting factor seeing 2d for a new tech.

You guys can talk about the Anime influences all you want, but at the end of the day I'm concerned about the gameplay. In this case it looks promising. If it looks to play like Smash Bros. and comes from the Smash Bros team, it could be my first import ever.
For those that reside in Japan: how big of a splash do you suppose this will make? I know Jump circulation has smashed records and such, but if it's as big as I suspected, could this really be Japan's "Megaton"? When I saw this, my first thought was "So, Japan asplode?"

Ah I'm sure this EDUCATED response came from the fact that you can read Japanese and hence understood the scanned article to say that the touch screen is used for comic style conversations?
What? No? You just assumed that? Oh ok, that makes you a DUMBASS! :lol Damn junior members should think before they post.
As someone said in this thread, the second screen seems is used to call characters and introduce options, there is an image of the magical beans of Dragon Ball (to restore life I suppose).
Looks interesting, will wait to the impression from Japan. Being developed by Nintendo give me some hope for it not being a bad game based on licenses (well, not every game based on licenses is bad, I like the GC Narutos and Super Robot Taisen for example).

This looks really nice, and I'm really tempted to get this, but I need to see some kind of character in this I like. 
But this is the style that I really wanted SSB Advance to have, but that never happened of course.
Though, is it just me or are the characters slightly smaller than normal? They look so cute.

Yeah, CPS2 & CPS3 would be no problem at all (except maybe storage for CPS3 games, though that won't be a problem next year when 256MB+ cards are available). Naomi games (MVC2, CVS series, etc) could be difficult if they used 3D BGs but those could just as easily be replaced with bitmaps. The DS screen layout seems almost perfect for Marvel Vs Capcom imo.btrboyev said:
