dang.. this game will be huge... I know i'm importing it just for this game alone.

 

[Trevelyon]

This'll be like printing money, even the Star Wars Trilogy set ain't got shit on this... well in Japan at least.

 

[neptunes]

So It'll only contain Shueisha characters right?

 

[GDGF]

Ah! So it's true!

Dopeness. This'll be huge. First NDS third party killer app.

 

[Chrono]

This game + wireless connectivity = DS ownage in japan. Sony has nothing on this.

So is this what HAL has been working on? I've been wonderin what they've been up to. Last game they released was Kirby's Airride, no?

Nope, it was Kirby & the Amazing Mirror on GBA.

 

[GG-Duo]

I highly doubt this rumor. Do you know how many properties that is?

Evidently it isn't a rumor anymore. :/

 

[GDGF]

It's apparently not a rumor anymore.

Okay, just so I'm clear:

- The game will be called "Jump Super Stars"
- This is on the DS
- It's being made by the Smash Bros. team at HAL (confirmed?)
- It's uses characters from Jump, a weekly with 3 million circulation
- These characters are from properties like Naruto, One Piece, Dragon Ball

Missing anything?

 

[GG-Duo]

Source? I still think there are way too many fucking properties for this to be true. It might be a subset deal.

Crystal clear. Evidently, Nintendo figures if they can't just buy Bandai, they'll encroach on their markets instead (licensing Jump properties, opening a film studio, etc).

beyond confirmed.

I'm not sure how much HAL worked on Kirby's Mirror thing. Flagship were behind it to some degree too, and looking at the Zelda games they deal with, I imagine they did most of the work.

 

[Scalemail Ted]

Thanks...I knew KAR seemed too long ago for it to be the last game but I just couldn't think of what else they had released.

Well, HAL did most of the work with Flagship helping on scenario and Dimps on coding.

 

[imastalker co.]

oh shit, it might have JoJo characters in it. if that's the case, im all over this.

 

[Chibbi Brady]

Sounds excellent, I assume we'll get to see it on Wed/Thurs. Anyone know what time the events are on?

 

[Mama Smurf]

Well, that's quite a lot gone. I suppose there's level design, artwork, music...that's pretty much it.

Anyway, back on topic. Gamespot don't seem so certain about the details, but seeing as the rumours are beginning to come true, I'll believe the rest too.

 

[explodet]

Yeah, the gamespot article notes that the game genre is unknown, so it could not necessarily be a fighting type game.

 

[duderon]

Has any news site confirmed that HAL is working on this?

 

[Dead]

oh shit, it might have JoJo characters in it. if that's the case, im all over this.

oh man if only

 

[GG-Duo]

Come on, I've wanted Luckyman in a fighting game for a while now........
