Thank god, we know nothing new now.
Though that stage looks pretty cool. Can't wait to see it in action.
And yes, you probably WILL be able to fall of the train. You could fall off most of the stages in the GB games.

Tho it's a long shot, I wonder if anyone from Thriller Bark will be playable, or Blackbeard rather.
Possibly Blackbeard considering we might see him in the anime first before the game comes out. And if it does we might get him then.
Since when does a character being in the anime or not affect games from putting them in?
It's because if they haven't been showed they might not want to spoil it for the people who are waching the anime.
For example:
They didn't put in the espada in Bleach ds 2nd because they were just starting that arc in the anime and didn't want to to spoil it.
Though who knows, this could be a game based off the manga like Bleach Heat the Soul's series is.
I'm not really getting my hopes up for a ton of characters outside the main 8 crew members, honestly.

Sunny appeared though in UA a while ago and we´re still a couple of month´s away from seeing the ship appear in the anime.
Oh yeah, I kinda forgot about that.
Well, we might be able to see blackbeard. Though for the roster, I know we probably won't have it, but I at least want 24 characters. It's a good size for a fighting game, but more the merrier. Well, unless the "Merrier" all have the same moves. If so, then no.
Sunny appeared though in UA a while ago and we´re still a couple of month´s away from seeing the ship appear in the anime.
It also had the final form of Lucchi before it was in the anime, Franky being part of the crew, Whitebeard fighting, Shanks intro in his fight, etc…
UA was based on the Manga, not the anime. It even had scenes looking more like they did in the manga than the anime.
I don't see the point of including Thriller Bark.
Maybe not the characters from thriller bark themselves, but I think Franky's numbchucks would be awesome to use in the game.
Everyone sure looks pissed off in this game. I wonder what made them so angry.
They are angry that bandai decided to put them in a shitty DS fighter instead of a decent PS2 one.
I was right tho, more game announcements at the conclusion of enies lobby fights. Now to wait for the PS2 enies lobby fighter(I hope it isn't grand battle, but if super system is balanced, I will accept that as well. No FFOP sequel tho)
For example:
They didn't put in the espada in Bleach ds 2nd because they were just starting that arc in the anime and didn't want to to spoil it.
No, they didn't put the espada in bleach DS2nd because 2D sprites are expensive as hell. This is why there will be no street fighter 4, and we have 5 guilty gear X2's. In bleach HTS4, Hollow mask ichigo is present(no in anime) as well as many moves only used in manga.
Also Garp is on the main site(Dog hood down), so there goes that theory.
Wifi sounds interesting tho. I won't rule out this game yet then. but come on. PS2 fighter. Or even a PSP one. Please. I'm sick of the most disappointing shounen manga I read having the only really good games.
How are they more expensive then 3d ones? Oo. It would seem like it would take a lot more money/effort/time to build 3d models then making 2d sprites.
Pretty much the same reason CGI animation is favored over handdrawn, I think. CGI is cheaper, demands less detail, etc.
Honestly, maybe the reason the espada aren't in Bleach DS 2nd is because… they haven't done anything yet? Having 3+ characters whose moves are CERO, BIG SWORD SLASH, BIG CERO gets repetitive.
I also like how this DS fighter is "shitty" when we've seen two whole screenshots of it. Then again, tony-kun isn't exactly a wealth of good opinion.

While I wouldn't know about it being expensive, I know that 2d sprites, especially hi-res ones, take a much longer time to make than 3d models. The reason is how simple and easy it is to animate models compared to making a lot of sprites with minimal movement and such.
In fact, I would compare it to the process of making animated shows, which take a hell of a long time. (A Simpsons episode would normally take a year from planning stages to the airing of an episode.)

That being said, neither have tatsuki, bonnie, and the other half assed characters that were in/added in bleach ds 2nd, but yeah.
I like we are finally having a ds game for one piece. It's good to have something you can just take out of your pocket and start playing.
Graphics aren't always key if it has good gameplay.

Someone said the same thing to me when I said the naruto 3d DS fighter was going to be shitty based off screenshots. and look how much fun that turned out to be.
I guess you're right tho. Its too early to judge. but I'm not getting my hopes up is all.
and BTW, isn't that basically what bleach moves come down to nowadays anyways? and I don't think that justifies putting in squad for nurse #4 and shibata(and his whole 5 frames of animation).
and i'm not sure why they cost more exactly, but they just do(Capcom won't make street fighter 4 because they don't think they can make the money spent on sprites back in sales.) I think Carter is right how they have to hand draw everything. 3d animation is alot cheaper and easier.
Graphics aren't always key if it has good gameplay.
True. but I can't say seeing screens of blocky, faceless luffy makes me excited to play it.
I'd have rather seen it on PSP. Especially if it has no wifi(Its a 3d fighter, so I highly doubt it does.)
And let's not forget Aokiji was in GB Rush when he wasn't in the anime yet.
And I'm really starting to think that Garp is playable. The cards that show the currently playable characters have sword icons, and Garp's card has a sword icon too.

Garp has a shield up icon.
Check the site.
There's also one with a sword with an up-arrow.
Probably a power boost.
There's probably several cards for each character or something..

But it was by Tomy. Tomy's ds games suck. Hard. (At least for naruto anyway)
I wish I would think differently, but I don't think it may come to the U.S. for a long time, considering that the anime hasn't reached Skypiea and the manga has just started the Drum Island arc.
But they did release Grand Adventure, which included the Skypiea arc, and Grand Battle released with Alabasta. The Gameboy Advance, however, reached up to Rogue Town, which was where we were currently at when it was released (could've been a coincidence). So I guess it won't matter…
New ad in this week's Jump. I didn't buy the issue, but my friend took a pic with his camera. Expect it sometime later. Some more characters confirmed.
whens dat game coming out?
I just realized EGX's post was made yesterday… so I guess they'll show up whenever.
So… no scans ever?
Wow it seems the official website just got a huge update in the last few hours.
http://www.bandaigames.channel.or.jp/list/ds_onepiece/
New characters and stages have also been confirmed with the latest screenshots.
Why does Luffy have a x shaped scar in the art on the main page? XD
The game looks like it's gonna be awesome from the screens. I'm not expecting anything beyond just a straight fighter tho, but really who was?
Beh, the Logo on the main page was playing tricks on me. It looked animated as parts of it looked like it kept getting darker but at the same time I couldn't see it getting darker…I had to right click and view image for closure that my eyes were just playing tricks on me as it wasn't flash nor was it a gif.
So…the new characters are:
We also have alternate costumes(Luffy has his Galley-La clothes in the last pic, and Zoro has his EL costume)
I wonder what´s the effect of Sunny and Merry´s cards...
Hold the phone! There's a release date on the bottom of the main page! August 30th eh? But the fact that the Wi-Fi Connection logo still isn't on there when the release date is worries me…
Oooooooh yea, I forgot about this. I should get those pics if anyone still wants >_>
Wow, I haven't been paying very close attention to news about this game, but the screens look shit-hot. Can't wait to see a complete roster of characters/cards and all that.
Iceberg and Paulie need to be playable.
What the hell would Iceburg do?
Paulie sure, but Iceburg Oo.
Tell Franky to wear pants?
I'm guessing the release date is the release date for Japan. I hope that it comes to the US soon.
Good one…
Also I think that shanks thing was a cutscene for a special move. That would be my guess.
What the hell would Iceburg do?
Paulie sure, but Iceburg Oo.
I'll leave this question to Roz.
I'll leave this question to Roz.
Elementary, my dear Arlong Park people.
Iceberg just summons an entire city that loves and adores him to crush his opposition as he looks on disapprovingly and pets a small animal. He can also yell at people, call everyone idiots, cancel meetings, and you have to admit - the guy can take a pretty impressive amount of bullets even if he's not willing to dish them out.
I have to admit that if he's not featured in some way or another (Assist card?), I will be mildly displeased. I kept looking for him in the Unlimited Adventure flashbacks.

Youch, I don't think even the Buster Call could beat that.
@Mr.:

Since the DS is region free, that shouldnt be a problem.. also, how much text can a fighting game contain?
im getting really hyped 'bout this.. xD
Wow, some of the new stages look awesome (Enies Lobby during the Buster Call, Thousand Sunny).
hahaa, I hope DF Kaku is in there! I can sooo see his intro as "Paste Machineee"
New scan?
!
Is there a translation for the scan?
I guess that's the scan EGX mentioned. Its info seems to correspond with the update on the site.
Ah, the thing. Yea, I saw that in the bookstore. Never got a chance to upload and post that pic. I have been really busy.
This game looks sweet!! Can't wait to get this with teh region-free and all. Unless it's announced for American release then I guess I'll wait it out…like 10 years or something.
I wanna know about the scan that says "WARNING". Luffy's image by his HP bar is him biting his thumb for Gear 3rd, yet the effect going on with him looks to be Gear 2nd.
Looks like Shanks and Kaku are playable.
