J-Stars Victory Vs. is a hot title for many anime fans, including those here in the west. According to J. Kartje, Community Manager at Namco Bandai America, “I don’t know much about it – But I know it’s complicated with all the licensing etc.”
More and more Japanese games are being localized every year. Especially as anime and manga series develop larger, worldwide audiences. Jump Force is the latest to show up worldwide. While it might not be the best crossover title or have the most diverse character roster, it might be a good introduction into this sort of world. So, let's go a bit deeper and learn more about Weekly Shonen Jump crossover games.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "While fully-fledged fighting games on handhelds have achieved varying levels of success in the past, they weren’t really a thing until the PSP. Prior to this there would always be certain concessions to get them running on weaker hardware. Sony’s powerful portable console, however, allowed developers to experiment with new ways of delivering their titles that would sometimes be hugely successful (e.g. Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection), which in turn meant new games were forthcoming throughout the console’s life. This mantra continued onto the Vita, which received ports of a number of high-profile fighting games, from launch through to the present day.
The ever-expanding industry of eSports has somewhat put a damper on handheld fighting games, as the fanbase moves increasingly towards arcade sticks, perfect latency, and other measures that always ensure a fair fight. That doesn’t mean the Vita doesn’t have access to its fair share of fighting games, though – whether you like 3D arena brawlers, party-friendly multiplayer titles, or pixel-perfect technical 2D fighters, you’re well served by the selection that’s available here, especially when including backwards-compatible PSP & PS1 games."
Amazon is currently having a sale on digital games for PS4, PS3, PS Vita and Xbox One, and they are offering up to 75% off on selected consoles and handheld games. So if you’re looking to buy some new digital games, you can receive massive discounts on games that you never thought would go below their retail price from this digital sale.
I really dislike these articles. Every day they're pretty much the same. It's just a random assortment of Amazon's usual sales. I don't understand why this is posted every single day with just a different sale name.
exactly I mean as you said tons of articles about usual sales as old anime game + ubisoft failures + EA failures but, nobody talk when The Witcher 3 on sale or something.
It's always that season84 guy. N4G needs to allow us to filter articles by username.
Yea, they're pretty much useless. Hey, if you love PlayStation so much you should fill out my PlayStation survey. It's for college and I'm a sad, lonely man with no friends...

Unfortunately, it's to be expected. Too many franchises that need agreements. The same thing happened to both Jump Stars games on DS. A shame, but at least it can be imported!
Want to also report that the sky is blue, fire is hot or water is wet?
From the moment this game was announced, people have been talking about how licenses would probably prevent it from coming to the West. It's hardly news when a rep states a wildly known and almost universally accepted fact.
With that being said, this also doesn't mean it won't happen either. Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Project X Zone and a few other "hopeless" titles made it over here. Now, they might need to cut content (like what happened with TVC) or release it digitally, but just because it's hard doesn't mean it won't happen.
Hey guys I am the writer of this article and I can say that it's pretty sad its not coming over to Canada or the U.S.A. As a kid who grew up reading Shonen Jump, I may end up importing it despite not speaking Japanese.
Japanese never let the "business" side of things get in the way of gaming...
Love that
Hopefully it isn't too text heavy so we can enjoy it regardless of language! :)
