Rumour: One Piece Kaizoku Musou?

[abigsmurf]

Very strong rumours floating around of a One Piece Musou game.

Namco-Bandai announced a mystery crossover with Koei and 2ch seems pretty sure this is going to be a One Piece game. The fact Bandai have put up a placeholder at http://www.bandaigames.channel.or.jp/list/opm/ adds a lot of weight to this.

One Piece seems an ideal franchise for this. Being able to use Gear Third to send a few dozen marines flying could be awesome.

Confirmed.

Wouldn't place much faith in that PS3 exclusivity though, they said the same about Dyn Warriors 7.

Nice! Just hope the visuals match up with the show!

Really wasn't expecting this, should be bloody excellent. Hope it's as big as DW7, they could probably get the entire anime arcs in.

How likely is it to get a EU/NA release? Did they have Japanese voice option in the Basara game? I know you can download the
Japanese voice pack for DW7...

[abigsmurf]

Pretty likely, One Piece is very popular in Europe (especially France I believe). We're getting One Piece Unlimited Cruise SP in November.

One Piece and DW, yes please! Hopefully this will path the way for a cross over mash with Bleach/Naruto and other jump shows. Wonder which way they'll go with the setup, DW7 style open maps or Gundam3 boxed maps with faster gameplay.

I would expect Japanese voices to get in as koei last 3 titles inthe warriors series (DW7, Gundam3, FotNS) all had it on disc or free dlc.

Marineford confirmed. Shame it doesn't show the post timeskip crew.

Also a DBZ Kinect.... Both coming from Namco Bandai.

[Sane]

DBZ Kinect...that has the potential to be hilariously brilliant .

[crocky-chocky]

Yes, yes, and furthermore.....yes.



If this hits europe, I'm in.

September 21st release date as most of you should know by now, but maybe you didn't know there is a collectors edition planned:

Seeing as this game covers everything, I'd have prefered the Going Merry, but that's still pretty sweet. Just have to find a reliable place to order it from...

It's an amazingly fun game if you love onepiece, goes back through the timelines & tells the back stories of each of the crew members before they joined up with Luffy, just like the anime does. It does skip a few arcs though. Love the boss battles they are super fun.

Wonder if they are going to dub with the god awful english voices or do the series respect & just keep their proper voices & just add subs?

[teddymeow]

Googled the C.E but can't see the usual suspects selling it. Must be sold out already.

Japanese VO, English subtitles only importaku It's also digital download only in the US.
