One Piece: Unlimited Cruise SP & SP2 - 3DS

Ultimate one piece fan

Looks like the marineford arc is included judging from the scan and a new boxart

Maki707

Oh cool, it looks like the game updated Whitebeard's moveset to include his fruit.
I am looking forward to footage of those battle moves ^^

Cyber-Robin

There is NO reason now to not include Akainu.

MANUELF

This NEED to come in America

DesertSpada

Nice! They updated Whitebeard and we now definitely have a Marineford setting. I also really like the Shichibukai spread that they have there. It appears they have fixed Doflamingo's colors too. With that, I'm thinking they added some moves as well. I think we can expect Mihawk to primarily fight with his sword now and have a bigger move set, as well as Doflamingo to at least have a cutting attack, and maybe a special that has Jozu or Atmos come in as his special instead of Bellamy.

And since they have every other Shichibukai, I fully expect Jinbei to be a character and of course, Akainu.

Madara

Yeah they have updated WB^^
Now i am hoping for Jozu and Maro playable :P
Well if they do Law would be nice too^^
woah the game cover looks very cool

black-leg jex

Jinbei and akainu HAVE to be in it now. I wonder how they'll work marineford into the story. It's supposed to be set in between thriller bark and saboady and obv doesn't follow the regular story. I really do hope it comes europe now

OrangeNinjasSucks

Jimbei, Hannyabal,Bepo and Vista! I would be content with just this though! :happy:

Maikeru Shinigami

I doubt there will be more than 20 bosses (including optional and dual). That would make about 6 islands there.

Beach/Sand Island:
Crocodile
Mihawk
Bon Clay (Optional)

Forest Island:
Law and Kidd
Hancock
Galdino and Buggy (Optional)

Ice/Mountain Island:
Ivankov
Jinbei
Rob Lucci (Optional)

Ruins Island:
Kuma
Moria and Perona
Enel (Optional)

Cave Island:
Garp
Blackbeard
Magellan (Optional)

??? Island:
Whitebeard and Ace
Akainu
Shanks (Optional)

Note, this is assuming they keep the same pattern they have in the past.

Cyber-Robin

Are you meaning new islands 0.o Cus if not you are missing like half of the chars from the games lol (I would certainly rather see Bon-Clay, Garp, Eneru, Lucci and Kuma over Perona and Law)

My personal choice would be to keep everything in thats in atm. Maybe add an extra boss to each island. Or an extra Marineford island with Iva, Hancock and Akainu bosses.

Maikeru Shinigami

I would like to see another island myself. If so, I'd also add Clay, Garp and Kuma to the list I have up. Lucci and Eneru, I would like to see in. They don't have as much tie in with Sabaody or Thriller bark though. It doesn't meant they won't be in however. This was just my take based on the story between TB and Sabaody. I'd also just like to see some more new guys, such as Galdino.

Cyber-Robin

I'd rather see them continue with the whole of one piece instead of just focusing on a small amount of the story. That was where Gigant failed. Focusing on two arcs and making too many important chars unplayable.

And I'd CERTAINLY have Eneru and Lucci in over Kid, Perona and Law.

Maikeru Shinigami

That makes sense. I'd like to see an increase in dual bosses actually. I could see adding Perona as a dual with Moria and adding Law as a dual for Kidd.

There's so many characters in One Piece.

@Maki707:

As far as I know, the games are not allowed to move ahead of the anime.
But it would be nice to see some more additional costumes for the characters from earlier arcs such as Alabasta or Skypiea or something. I realise this means some characters will have more costumes than others(since say, brook was'nt in skypiea),maybe that is why they are hestitant to do it. But it would something simple that I would enjoy anyway.

Well, they probably recorded Nightmare Luffy's Unlimited Cruise voice at least a couple of weeks before the anime episode which showed it

370 "A Secret Strategy to Turn the Tables – Nightmare Luffy Appears" September 14, 2008

Unlimited Cruise Ep1 releaase date (Japan) September 11, 2008

Wow, it was released on September 11th? Hmmmm, a little ominous…

=========================================================

But yes, they definitely don't hesitate to either include stuff which hasn't been aired yet. Even looking at all the stuff which happened with Shabondy Arc, even Kuma turning up and using Ursus Shock for the first time wasn't shown until Ep - 376 "Kuma's Paw-pad Paw-pad Abilities That Deflect Everything"
November 9, 2008[559]

If it comes to that, there's been costumes put into games (especially things like Grand Adventure) which never appeared in the anime. Maybe like in Unlimited Cruise Ep1 and Ep2, you can change the characters costumes aboard Thousand Sunny, and customize them with Sanji's glasses, Luffy's Hat, Zoro's bandana etc

=====================================

Also mucho awesome that we see Whitebeard messing things up Marineford-style… Maybe this way we'll get Mr 3 and Sengoku, but Jimbe and Akainu MUST be in it - it simply defies logic if they weren't -

Question though, what would they take out of the game in order to have these characters - maybe an extra isle called Marineford? Would we also see some form of larger battle arena? Can we still customize the strawhat's movesets by using the set of attacks found in Ep1 and Ep2, or do we just have a Unlimited Cruise SP set of attacks and that's it....?

All of these and more will be answered.....at some point....when the game is finally released... maybe May/June?

Edit: I have to agree with you Cyber Robin

@Cyber-Robin:

It seems rather silly to have just one arc focused on. I mean you could see that something like Grand Battle 3 was very much Skypiea/Jaya themed, but it still included lots of extra things from Alabasta (like Hina…loves so much...) and other arc's as well. Grand Battle Rush pretty well followed everything, though had a distinct Davy Back Fight flavour... but covered Syrup Village, Baratie, Drum Kingdom, Alabasta, and Skypiea...

I would love Dalton and Kumadori... just putting it out there again...

black-leg jex

i think they'll add just a new island where hancock is the half-way boss and akainu is the final boss. Ivankov can be the optional and jinbei… who knows maybe paired with ivankov or even arlong earlier on. Any other characters i don't know. Maybe 2 new islands :D

If it were up to me it would be this:

Remove:
Spandam. (He's nice and all but does he really need to be in with his 2 attacks?)
Lucci (Either keep normal or Leopard. Make him transform)
Calgera (seriously. WTF is he even in the game over Wiper for?)
UA Final Boss.
Kid (sorry fans of his. But if I had to choose an important char like Akainu, Jinbei or Magellan against a char who has yet to do anything in the series. I'd pick them.)
Thriller Bark Costumes

Add:
Akainu
Jinbe
Magellan
Foxy
Saboady Island costumes, Chopperman Costume.
More Sunny stuff like make it worth unlocking the Library and Bathroom.
Some sort of collectible system. If they can't add chars into the game. Would sure accept cards featuring 100 chars or so.
Make Franky playable.
Updated movesets for the whole crew. (way more important than giving Ace a hat or not.)

Remove Kid because he's not important, though he had some foreshadowing, but add Foxy. Very compelling logic.

presario

Did they predicted this in UC2?

!

With the marineford in the story, the last boss stage has got to be a fight with the 3 admirals

Maikeru Shinigami

Oh wow, that would be pretty badass.

actually that could be a good idea. Instead of fighting Spandam and Aokiji fight Spandam and Lucci or just lucci and Kaku then. That opens up the half-way boss for boggy isle where you could fight Magellan. Then remove kizaru as the last boss for sky island and make it Jinbei. Then for the new island Hancock as half-way boss 3 admirals as last boss and ivankov as hidden boss and that's all the new characters shown after UC2 came out.

Of course if you wanted foxy or Mr. 3 you could make them do a mr. 2 where they appear only in unlimited difficulty as special encounters

Cyber-Robin

Could fight Ace with WB, Garp with Sengoku and Law with Kid.

And I can't believe I forgot someone.

Rayleigh. Rayleigh NEEDS to be in.

Madara

new pics are out

black-leg jex

i still don't get how they're gonna do the marineford arc but oh well. It would be cool if you fought the 3 admirals and you had ace on your side. that would be an awesome last boss

Cyber-Robin

I dunno. That would tempt me to lose on purpose.

As long as I can pwn everyone with Chopper's A attack again I'm happy.

Would suck if they limit the chars on Marineford isle to just Luffy or Marineford arc chars.

Haddlez

okay, with the new Marineford arc, there's absolutely no way that akainu isn't there.
i'd like to see (at least) magellan, jinbe and mr.3 (a mr.3/buggy fight will be awesome). btw i think buggy will have his marineford outfit and new moveset.

i wonder how the Marineford arc will be included in the game, a new island maybe ?…

black-leg jex

i was thinking that about buggy. It will either be an island that appears before the last one or one that you can do after you finish the main story.

I have feeling that akainu and jinbei will be in it if just because i was messing around with a picture of the character screen from UC2 and figured that it would have to be altered obv to include Hancock and ivankov but the only way to look normal without removing any of the characters would be to have 4 new ones or 10 new ones. It can be made so it's 11 people per line rather than how it is now with 10 thus adding 4 more players (the bottom line with the final bosses and all the random enemies remains at 9. It still looks normal) or adding 12 people per line or a new line of 10 altogether.

Of course if they change the screen completely my theory gets completely destroyed but just in case i think

Definate 4:
Hancock (confirmed)
Ivankov (confirmed)
Jinbei
Akainu

Possible 6:
Magellan
Mr. 3
Perona
Foxy
marco
Law

This is all random opinion/theory though so feel free to believe whatever

Have you seen Unlimited Spandam?
I agree he's not that great, but still…..
@Cyber-Robin:

Lucci (Either keep normal or Leopard. Make him transform)

Agreed - Human Lucci isn't that great, at least give him a special
@Cyber-Robin:

Make Franky playable.
Updated movesets for the whole crew. (way more important than giving Ace a hat or not.)

Ummmm, Franky is playable… He's in the whole game... Both Ep1 and Ep2...

Rolling spa? Heehaw!

black-leg jex - I like your thinking - I agree that the character screen either gets an entirely revamped look, or has another line added to it for example. I wonder who they'll get to it - anyway, seems it very likely won't be a launch title, but maybe a month after launch? They were releasing various bits of info for Ep1 and then Ep2 a couple of months before it launched, with heaps of screens and a couple of video bits a few weeks before it launched to get some hype… Either way, I'm hoping to get a Japanese 3DS and this game - just have to figure out how to record with the 3DS, since most of the adaptors and things for recording the DS either have been taken down, or are shoddy quality...

Cyber-Robin

I meant playable as in not rubbish. Make him a lil less powerful and increase his speed slightly so he can fight things without getting pwned.

Haddlez

what ? franky is awesome, i'd never have defeated whitebeard and garp without him. :|

Sognatore

Yeah, I'm currently fighting Whitebeard on Unlimited and spamming Franky's Shake Move takes the first half of his life alone.
He's awesome xD

fenberry

@Cyber-Robin:

Ahhh. My apologies. I find Franky really fun to play as - If your locked on and don't move the control stick, all of your attacks will properly lock on to the enemy - if you dash it'll be directly at them, if you roll it'll be in their direction - I spent a whole lot of time using the lock on system as just a useful camera angle, but after letting go, it all makes it much easier to aim everything, especially Franky's attacks.

Masta Nairu is the bomb - add a flame dial or fire powder for Furesh Fiya!

Cyber-Robin

I found him too slow and only useful as a human shield.

Chopper, Sanji and Robin were the best ones to use. I've even duo'd the game just using Chopper and Robin. (aside from the obvious forced points)

fenberry

Hmmm, a good point Cyber-Robin.

Sanji is hands down (no puns intended) the stand out for me as well - though I probably could have done most of the story with Usopp and Zoro myself -

Robin though is absolutely killer for everything other than some boss fights - Big tree against Oars was just magic

black-leg jex

I find it changes depending on difficulty (or at least for me) i found franky useful on normal because he was strong and robin a bit crap when, on unlimited, i think robin's one of the best and franky gone down to one of the worst.
Sanji, nami and usopp were easily my best (not including Luffy who's just naturally the strongest)

Cyber-Robin

Chopper is overall the best char. Faster than most, just spam A next to things. If need be use Rumble. And he even has a healing move to top it off.

Lethal.

Sognatore

@fenberry:

That's exactly what I've been doing like an hour ago ^^

And have you ever tried to use his move combined with salt against Oz? It made the fight so easy for me, I collected like 100 Shadows from the respawning Zombies while evading from Oz xD

@Cyber-Robin:

So true.
But you forgot to mention theat awesome Shake-Move he had in UC1

King Calamari

Release date is April 7. Europe should expect it some time later.

Maikeru Shinigami

I always have done better with Human Lucci than Leopard Lucci.

Nia

Jesus Christ, I'm really getting hyped for this. This better be good.

Speaking of Lucci: If they want to keep him they better add some decent Hattori action this time. Just saying.

eustass kidd

don't forget shiki ..i hope he in …^^_

GeyahSecandoh

It would be interesting for a final boss in the Marineford arc mode, you would have to be Jinbei carrying unconscious Luffy away to the ships (or until Law's yellow submarine appears) while Akainu chases you, and trying avoiding his attacks.

Well it doesn't seem much of a boss, but it would be interesting, that is also if they decided to add Akainu which highly possible at this point, and Jinbei if they do decide to add him too.

eustass kidd

Wow

when i translate the info from the blog they said next monday they will

give us the lastest information about the game .. so i think they will confirmed all the characters on the game.. don't miss it

black-leg jex

yay i woke up and heres all this sweet info :D i hope it does come out in europe. Hell it better

Totally agreed. Poor Hattori is always overlooked. But we alone know the truth. Oh yes.

Looks like I'm going to have to get a PAL 3DS. ):

Cyber-Robin

Wait? Where is the PAL confirmation? (Although It'll totally come out if we are getting Gigant and considering most of the game is already transed anyways it'll only be the changes to buttons and the new bits. Probably around Christmas)

black-leg jex

i think someone said it was on the spanish website linked a few pages back. My computer wouldn't translate it though

PorkyMinch

I want Blackbeard with both Yami Yami and Gura Gura power.

luffink

I can´t find any PAL confirmation, and Bandai Europe´s site doesn´t mention the game either

@PorkyMinch:

I want Blackbeard with both Yami Yami and Gura Gura power.

Or even better, change one of his special attacks into a "power sucker" that allows him to use the devil power of his rival.
And now you´re imagining him with Hancock´s power.
Damn, I shouldn´t have imagined that.

fenberry

@black-leg:

i think someone said it was on the spanish website linked a few pages back. My computer wouldn't translate it though

Hmmm, it was on a French website - but there's info all around

"Should we expect a release overseas? Considering both Wii Unlimited Cruise titles made it to PAL regions, albeit with Japanese voices and English subtitles (something we suspect most fans of the original Japanese voice-overs will have approve of) hopefully we’ll see the 3DS version out soon overseas as another title to boost the 3DS’ game library. Even if it isn’t going to be particularly good playthrough for the non-One Piece fan, One Piece fans will have a game (or two, in this case) to look forward to in 2011."

Hmmmm, that could be useful, but hard to encode for every character - since some have devil fruits, others don't - maybe Blackbeard's special will be a combo of his own Black hole attack and then a Gura gura punch - Just like Demon of Doom (and all the other Unlimited Adventure/Cruise bosses)

SympathyX

If they release it over here then I hope to hell they dub it or atleast give a choice.
