Jump Super Stars: Official Trailer !!!

holy crap dude.. this game is freaken sweet... I love the animation.... so fluid.... so unexpected.... so many copies are going to sell..
 
doesn't look as good as smash bros to me as far as the gameplay goes (althoug it does seem to be doing a lot of different things).

in any case, i think Nintendo may have their new pokemon as far as sales go. ok, maybe not pokemon levels, but shit, after seeing that ad, and knowing japanese, i seriously wouldn't be suprised if the game broke 1.5 mil this year.
 
I know the Shounen Jump series are really popular in Japan, but 1m+ sales? If the individual Naruto and One Piece games can't even break platinum, what makes you think this will?

I know, I am just kidding :p

while NDS has not sold over 3 millions in Japan yet
and also Weekly Shounen Jump has passed its golden age
(Weekly Shounen Jump can be sold over 6 millions copies each week during the golden age)
I believe the game can be sold around 500,000 copies

The 3 Naruto GC games combine for over a million. Add in practically every other major popular shounen franchise and put it on a handheld, and it's pretty easy to make those numbers multiply.
 
Looks really awesome but... it looks a bit simple from the commercial. I hope it has the depth ssbm has.
How much does SHW sell now?

...that's not very good evidence. I mean most likely the same people who bought Naruto 1 bought Naruto 2 and bought Naruto 3. That's like saying Madden 99-2004 sales added together equals the Madden audience.

Anyhow I doubt it'll break a million, but it should do a tad bit better than Nintendogs so I'd wager around 600k.
 
hot damn didn't expect the game to look so fluid, this could very well be my first import I can't wait till nintendo's lazy ass decides to bring this here. Jump Super Star say hello to Error
 
So you build and choose your team by placing their comic portraits on the bottom screen? Looks like the characters power is determined by the size of their comic portrait.

Looks neat. Too bad it's not in english ... and never will be. I'd probably buy a DS is this game was released here.
 
...that's not very good evidence.

Or you could also use the logic that if there are even a hundred to two hundred thousand diehard fans of Naruto, those fans will buy Jump Super Stars along with eventually a hundred to two hundred thousand diehard fans for each of the other popular characters in the game. Eventually it'll be enough for it to crack a million.

It's about as plausible as happening as saying it won't.

Besides, when it only takes three Naruto games on the GameCube for them to crack a million, I don't understand how that is supposed to be a testament against the popularity, rather than for it.
 
this game is going to be BOMBA in Japan...
and I'd want an English version... just leave everything like the original and translate the text (no name changes, no theme songs changes, no american bastardisation of anime)
 
this could be a big seller in the us too, I wonder why nintendo hasn't realized it yet, altough some changes would have to be done, like changing Zoro to "Zolo" (ugh) and Death Note isn't exactly E rated material

EDIT: I think it would sell quite a lot in Europe too, since most of these mangas have also been released over there

Well, that's not the same at all: for example, I bought only Naruto 2, same for Viewtiful Joe, only the first is in my collection... but I own all the yearly Winning Eleven/Pro Evo incarnations.

Nintendogs finals will be certainly higher than 600k.
Considering that as today Jump reached 240k already on preorders... my prediction is 800k.
 
i think its awesome that the manga allows you to create special combos with multiple characters.

im betting this is deeper than SSB

NDS already has a multimillion seller in Mario 64.

I think when people said million seller they weren't talkin bout worldwide sales, I don't think Mario 64 for NDS have sell a million copies yet in Japan could be wrong though

Yup, i was surprised by this too, seems like it could have a lot of depth.

This could easily break the 1M mark, if shounen jump hypes the hell out of it in their mags, that it gets really good reviews, word of mouth spread, it will surpass it.

I mean, this isnt just a naruto fighter, or DBZ fighter, its DBZ + Naruto + One piece + Bleach + Shaman king + Yugioh + Hikaru no go + Black cat + Rurouni Kenshin + Busou renkin + Yu yu hakuso + eyeshield 21 + BOBOBO-BO BO-BOBO + Death note + Ichigo 100% + Mr fullswing + Kochi kame + Prince of tennis + Gintama + D.gray man + KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN! + Hunter x hunter + PYUU TO FUKU JAGUAR + Jojo's bizarre adventure + Slam dunk

I mean jeebus, if this game doesnt attract the eyes of an anime fan from 2 decades ago to nowadays, i dont know what could. A lot of these animes are still in production too, so ads in the manga + anime = easy marketing on jump's part

Its also on handheld, dont underestimate that, wifi multiplayer + this game will be very very popular in schools, thats where pretty much word of mouth will start i think.
 
Can I post the manga that came in Weekly Jump, showing the history of the game? *may contain spoilers, I don't know japanese to confirm if it has or not!* :lol

This manga was designed by the creator of Eyeshield 21, and brings Goku, Naruto, Ichigo 100% and Eyeshield 21.

Please, I do not want to be banned! :D :D :D

Ill allow it, its just a preorder bonus right?
 
If there's any justice in the world (of shady underground software practices), then this will be dumped, translated, and it'll be used on an emulator that's fast and supports dual monitor fullscreen.
 
Maybe it's because I'm not into anime, but those videos didn't impress me at all. The characters seem to have very few frames of animation.
 
This game wil devour the souls of young Japanese geeks everywhere. Nintendo really, really needs to bring it stateside as there's way too much text for me to import it by the looks of things.
 
so who's pre-ordering this? Presumably it would be wise as it will sell out and we might get a nice bonus gift? How about the Red DS too?

Fuck! I just watched that second trailer. This game does look deep and completely badass. It must be imported.
