Blog update. Looks like the game will be playable at an event at the end of august.
One Piece Gigant Battle! 2 "Shin Sekai" - Nintendo DS
-
-
You know it's mostly going to be timeskip characters right?
I doubt anyone before Thriller Bark will make it in.
-
I think the focus will be on time skip but we already know that most of the supports from the 1st game are in it so it's not impossible
-
I struggle to think of 50 characters from the Time Skip that could be used as supports. Maybe 10. 15 tops.
-
I hope Shanks is a playable character in this game.
-
They're adding 17+ characters in addition to the missing Straw Hats. There's no way they can add only time skip characters. Hodi, Decken, Caribou…..there's really no one else that deserves to be in the game. Shanks, Smoker, Moria, Lucci, Eneru, Bon Clay are no brainers to put in any One Piece game. Whitebeard, Ace, Blackbeard, Akainu, etc. will have their pre-time skip appearance so it's not going to focus entirely on post-time skip.
-
Am I the only one who think that we will have both Pre-Time Skip and Time Skip versions of the Straw Hats ? They won't have the same movesets, so why removing them ?
For the supports, I don't see much pre-Time Skips characters being made: we will have only 30 new support characters, and post-Time Skips we will probably have the new Straw Hats, Caribou, Hody and his 5 henchmen, VDD, Neptune, Shirahoshi, at least one of the Princes, PTS Perona and some "trolling" characters like Demalo Black, Otohime, Sabo, Dadan or Fisher Tiger. That's already 26 slots.
-
No i think that's quite a common thought. I think there is a good chance of having both current and pre forms but i hope that we don't for originallity sake (unless it's like an alternative outfit)
-
I dunno if they'll be classed as seperate supports. Robin, Franky and Brook all had 2 supports in the first game (Robin's even had alt clothes.) although I can't remember if they were counted twice or just as one support char.
-
@SomebodyUDon'tKnow:
I wonder is Conis is gonna be a support in this one. She deserves the spot, and I want to see Suu in sprite form.
Conis… provided support in what way that would be beneficial for a video game about fighting?
-
She could play her harp which increases the speed of something (health, flame, support increase)
-
She had a bazooka, didn't she? That's about it.
-
Well if not Conis, the leader of the White Berets. They need some characters that were needed in the storyline, but were never included in a game bafore, like Monblanc Cricket. He had some skills. Maybe the whole Sarumaya Alliance.
-
100+ support characters? that cant be right.
-
They're not going to count pre and post time skip Straw Hats as separate characters. That would just be stupid imo.
-
^ Agreed, the only character they would do that for is Luffy. An thats a slim possibillity.
-
100+ support characters? that cant be right.
Why ? The first one had 72 supports, if you look at the list I've made earlier, that seems possible.
@Vongola_Boss_XI:

Why ? They don't have the same movesets nor the same stats. It would be stupid to have the PTS characters to fight like the pre-Time Skips'.
-
In the screenshots you can clearly see new moves. there is no way that we will only get the post time skip crew. they will all be included, don't you think it will be a waste if not? the previous game's movesets were so good!
-
No…I think it would be a waste of 9 potential character slots to have both sets of Straw Hats. That is unless they bump it up to 49 characters and aren't counting doubles toward the total character count.
Smoker, Moria, Eneru, Lucci, Shanks, and Bon Clay at the very least need to be in this game.
MAYBE two different characters would work for Luffy...maybe. But how could there possibly be two Brooks? What has Franky done post-time skip beyond nipple lights and a few other brief attacks / tricks that would possibly warrant there being a pre and post time skip version? What's more likely is that they just put in all post-time skip Straw Hats. I think having pre-time skip alt. costumes would be cool, but not necessary.
I'd rather have Arlong, Kuro, Krieg, Wapol, Foxy, Marco, Law, Kid, Shiki, Mr. 3, Daz Bones etc. over two sets of Straw Hats. The characters mentioned above have to be in this game for it to be complete.
-
I agree with some of your points. Personally I think these need to be in:
Smoker, Moriah, Shanks, Bon Kurei, Eneru, Lucci and Arlong. (Mainly because the latter has been featured quite a bit recently.)
I don't see many people speculating Rayleigh or Garp. Both of these can easily be playable and have rather large roles recently. They certainly are more suitable for playability than Law or Kid are at this time.) I think with him appearing in Unlimited Cruise as playable it's not a far stretch to imagine that Marco will be playable too.
-
I expect marco to be playable but not jozu. Also moriah but not doflamingo. Personally i don't see rayleigh being playable. I think perona has nearly as much chance as rayleigh (if they figure out how to make her fight. I think shanks and rayleigh would be to similar anyway and shanks has a bigger chance.
Btw: is there any new info from this weeks JUMP? It's been a while since we got anything really
-
I'm pretty sure that the limit is wayyy more then 40 characters, so it's by no means wasted space, just think of it as extra characters. I doubt we will get Brook Robin and Franky in their post time skip, though it's possible for Franky, so maybe.
As for the moves, like I said earlier, just like in Jump Ultimate Stars, we will get the latest moves they can put in,
and since next chapter (and the ones after) are probably gonna be filled with action and new moves for everyone,
they will have plenty to work with. Although I' sure we will have some recycled moves, just bigger and flashier. -

Did you even look at the screenshots? Time Skip Robin is confirmed as playable.
-
I think he meant pre-time skip Robin, Franky, and Brook.
-
yes sorry ^^" ment pre
-
If the rest are in pre-TS there's no excuse for no Robin and Franky. At all. Much like the first game there wasn't a valid excuse for not putting them in except laziness. Robin's still had 2 fights and plenty of non-fight stuff (how else would they constantly give her enough moves in all of the other OP games) Brook I can kinda agree. Although still not much excuse. He's got enough moves shown for this game.

Make them up like they do for Shanks?
This question is going to sound weird, but:
I know you can play this on a regular DS, but since the software is for a regular DS… does that mean I can play it on a 3DS?
I doubt it. Just curious. Anyone try playing a japanese regular DS game on a 3DS?
-

I think the newest ones might be region-locked, even if they´re for DS
-
I plyed both Gigant Battle, and Inazuma Eleven 3 Oger on my NA 3ds just fine. so you can feel safe. the only DS games that are region locked are the ones with DSi enhancements, like Pokemon B/W.

Jump Ultimate Stars worked on my PAL 3DS.

Actually, I recall someone making a video of them playing an imported White version on a 3DS, so it may work. I could be wrong, though.
-
Yeah pretty much every ds game works on 3ds regardless of region
-
DS games = region free
DSi "Enhanced" games = Maybe region locked
3DS games = region locked
-
Thanks everyone. If they announce Online Play, it's as good as mine then!
-
Only play should be a definate. I think they said somewhere that they would include it in this one along with robin, franky and brook

Here 2 post from 2ch, not 100% confirmed but it´s info from new Weekly Shonen Jump.

The game will be on sale 17th November in 2 editions: normal (5,230 yen) and limited with special box and a 25 cm Luffy figure (7,800 yen).
-
Hmmm Not bad. Although they need to show us more of the game itself before announcing Limited Editions etc
-
A myth runs with Shanks confirmed as playable character, on Shounen Jump. Is that true?

I guess once we see some screenshots (and the scan if it's in Jump) we'll know. Saying that. I remember when the rumour was put out that Robin, Bon, Smoker, Franky and Brook were secret playables when the first one came out.
-
I've found this in the volume 63 thread: a scan from volume 63 ! :) Nothing new except a new screenshot confirming PTS Usopp as playable and a new attack/power-up for Sanji:

Also confirms Usopp has Plant attacks (one is above Zoro)
Sanji's attack just looks like his fire leg (can't remember the name) thingy.
Still kinda worried that once more we have sprites of chars running etc yet Brook and Franky are both in poses that could be for support.
Also is that new background for the ship? (the giant guy underwater)
-
Leaving Franky and Brook TWO times in a row is inexcusable, even more considering they have 40 freaking slots this time. It would be insane to leave them out. Absolutely insane.
-
I'll be very surprised if they don't go in. (Although I said that the first time) Especially because they deserve to be in. All I'm saying is that at the moment we don't have anything that shows them as playable.
-
Well, unfortunately, right now we have practically nothing at all. It's kinda weird, if the game's out on november, it's not that faaar from now. Maybe they're waiting to show new stuff untill the manga shows the SH's new abilities? Hody in action? VDD? Caribou?
-
All the information I told you in my last post is true, pics from Shonen Jump.
It seems Luffy figure is MASTER STARS PIECE by Banpresto.
-
Thanks Redon !!!
So pre-Time Skip Luffy, Chopper and maybe Zoro are back. Jimbei and Hancock too (they dont seem to have their post-TS outfit :( )
And the new stage is Rusukaina, right ? I'm not sure.
Edit: yes, this is Rusukaina !
-
Master Stars Luffy. That's not even an exclusive. Oh well. Saves me trying to get him otherwise. Redon. Did you put the info in the Collectibles News Thread?
Looks like they're re-using stuff from the first. As to be expected.
Chopper, Usopp, Luffy (2 versions? Or is the one in the Hancock pic TS?), Hancock and Jinbe. Zoro is the Time-Skip version it looks like. But I don't doubt all of the mugiwara will be playable in their pre-TS (maybe not Robin, Franky and Brook) -

Will we be able to get the special edition of the game from PlayAsia?
Also, I think pre-time skips will be alt. costumes, not individual characters. I can't see them barely adding any characters besides post-time skip Straw Hats. It would seem like a waste of a game.

More than likely. Although with the inclusion of the Luffy figure I expect it'll be quite difficult to get.
AmiAmi will get it in too.

ah cool, so maybe we could pre-order it when it goes up online then?
