[Hellfire]

You beat me by a nanosecond! Looks good!

[ndreamer]

yeah i really like the style of the graphics.

[Hellfire]

Ah it still says Nintendo Revolution there. lol. Anyway, at least 2 anime titles anounced, this is great for japanese sales.

[ultrajamie]

it looks like a nicer version of dragon quest....

i'm willing to bet anyone a tenner that Ubisoft pick this up for a western release... they seem to have a habit of bringing this sort of game over.

[ndreamer]

the game i think is by bandai/namco they may decide to port it over if it does well enough.

[DiemetriX]

That looks really good. I'll probably import.

[Jamba]

Hehe... it looks really fun. A see a good sense of humour in there.

[monkeyDluffy]

looking good, the anime is great so might pick up!

[DCK]

Are they real graphics or artwork? I can't make out the difference on the scan -_-

[Innovance]

Are they real graphics or artwork? I can't make out the difference on the scan -_-

Thats exactly what i was wondering/thinking

[Shenlong]

Ah it still says Nintendo Revolution there. lol. Anyway, at least 2 anime titles anounced, this is great for japanese sales.

What games are these then? Please i beg we get naruto....thats the one thing that will make me defo get the console, a GNT 5, even though the new series aint started yet...it'd be nice for them to announce its still being planned or somethin.

[Innovance]

a Dragonball fighter was the other one i believe

[demonmike04]

It was bound to happen, but i have the suspicion they are artwork.

[DiemetriX]

Imo they are too good to be ingame. And I can't see any HUD.

[Hellfire]

I think it's in game, I mean, you see Luffy fishing and stuff. Lots of screenshots don't have the HUD. Frankly, you make Wii sound like a NES or something, of course it can handle that.

[DCK]

Actually I think they look too drawn to be ingame. Even with cel-shading you can see depth but I don't see depth on those pictures.

[DiemetriX]

Actually I think they look too drawn to be ingame. Even with cel-shading you can see depth but I don't see depth on those pictures.

And thats why I belive those are not ingame :)
Tnx for backing me up.

[ShadowV7]

Another Anime game.This is good getting all these games.

[Konfucius]

I actually think it's ingame because I can make out a few edges of polygons, look at his hair and arms in the close up and the hat or what it is has quite a lot of corners...
But I'm very impressed by the look of this game.

[Nintendork]

Looks rubbish, the title 'untlimited adventure' suggests that it will steal my time and give nothing back in return.
I won't be getting this.. no appeal for me, don't like the style and there just seem to be many other better games.

I call in game too.

[Tellyn]

Isn't there supposed to be One Piece for the DS?

[Hellfire]

Dear god nintendork, you really like to hate everything don't you?

[Tellyn]

Don't do it, I tried that before, didn't work out well for me. *Bows before lord and master Nintendork*

[Nintendork]

No, you can see in my signature I'm very hyped up about several first party and third party titles.. I am very excited about those and will probably buy all 5.

I'm a fan of much mainstream anime and manga.. but I don't see the satisfaction of playing a game based on that style.
I said it doesn't appeal to me..

[Hellfire]

Yawn, your poor trolling skills are boring me.

[Hellfire]

Yeah let's end this before things get even more uninteresting shall we?

[guarana]

"tommy likey, tommy want wingy"
ronald mic-donaldz!! .. thats all im sayin...


pimp-biscuits to ndreamer for the scan,looks good, is that the only one?

[gaggle64]

I'm almost certain those are in-game. They're angled in such a way which to me would suggest promotional screenshots as opposed to art. I'm pretty sure the big dude centre-fold is art, but the rest is screenies.

[djamb3]

Is an xclusive? Well I don't think the game cames to europe, but is an xcelent anime and I'd like to try it if it is really good.

[DiemetriX]

Jamba and Nintendork, you guys have to calm down. Nintedork is entiteld to his own oppinion no matter how "bad" it may be. And if you feel the need to argue, Use PMs or MSN. Don't fill threads with hate.

I thinks this game looks amazing. And I really hope those screens are Ingame. I'll bet this game will come to europe sooner or later.

[monkeyDluffy]

well the series is airing in the US so we should be able to get it on english import!

[Sixfold01]

Nintendork is right, it was his opinion leave him alone.

[Hellfire]

There were One Piece games in EU well before one piece was licensed outside Japan

[Shorty]

One Piece: Of software I won't be purchasing...Then why are you here? Don't waste time and space posting in a thread not relevant to your interests. Going in every thread for a +1 in your postcount is going to get you kicked off these boards eventually. Also, this game might turn out to be the Wii's highest scoring title and completely exclusive, then, you wouldn't consider it?

Even more likely though, is that this will be a game that mostly appeals to people like me who love the anime/manga - so it's not necessarily going to blow the general audience away. To me it looks like it has a lot of potential, hopefully it'll be as funny as the show and all the characters great moves will be in there. It would be nice to play an anime game on a Nintendo console that's more than a straight up fighter like the Naruto, Bleach and DBZ games.

I posted that remark ages ago... :indeed: Ancient times... I'm open for any good exclusive game.

I want to know something - Luffy are fighting CP9 in the anime. So why should Crocodile be in when he is dead.

[Dante]

I want to know something - Luffy are fighting CP9 in the anime. So why should Crocodile be in when he is dead.

From Wiki : "It may take place before the Davy Back Fight Arc and/or the Water 7 Arc. Though we do know that it takes place after the Skypiea Arc, due to the appearance of Impact Dials."

[ZeldaFreak]

Which still doesn't make sense why crocodile is in since he his from the alabasta arc. Very confusing.

new scan:Wow! it's Franky!

This game is looking really good, and I don't usually say this over a anime based game; it's development cycle was also big at that, considering they were showing it last E3 and it didn't come out yet; must be quite polished.

[The-chosen-one]

damn looks good man now i want this game almost as much as i want Naruto ex for wii that is coming out februari 22


one piece video level design is just beautifull

[mcj metroid]

fuck me those screen are hot.I love the characters designs too.i have no idea what this game is about but i lik the graphics

[pedrocasilva]

This game has the best celshaded graphics to date.I wouldn't go that far, but they certainly look good. Bland and blurry textures hamper it a little.

I hope it comes out in US (and Europe), I normally don't consider buying games based of anime series but I'll certainly consider this one, it was already being showed playable at last E3, 1 year ago... thus shows promise and polish, and is a story-driven Zelda-clone.

I'd expect this could shift a good amount of Wii's in Japan, considering how big One Piece is there (best selling series ever after Dragon Ball, I believe).

[Hellfire]

Is this game expected to come out in English any time... er... ever? I mean didn't 4kids just stop dubbing it (thank God) after all?

Edit: Just noticed in the youtube link that there seems to be an English version already, but I can't hear the voices... when's this on its way to us?

http://www.jeux-france.com/downloads7566_video-one-piece-wii.html

Trully epic for the fans and people who know the plot of the series; instead of putting in FMV's with flashbacks from the series; they've made them in-game... lot's of effort there.

I think this should make a great impact in Japan, only the date is kinda bad, IMO, 26th April is the same day FFXII DS comes out, I'd delay it a week or so.

[DiemetriX]

I love the new video :D

According to this site: http://www.siliconera.com/index.php/2007/03/30/one-piece-unlimited-adventure-coming-to-the-usa/
one piece might be coming to the USA, which means it could come to EU. Hope so.

[Shorty]

It looks great :D but I wonder how they're planning to do a US release... maybe they'll subtitle it all? And the general US audience isn't really going to know who the characters are. Ah well, have to wait and see - looks like a fun little game.

Yeah, I hate it when they give us a crappy dub. I wouldn't mind forced japanese voices :P

[flameboy]

Looks awesome, remember it looking pretty cool in one of the original wii games reels. guessing it's an RPG based on anime series (which I have never heard of), hope this doesn't get in the way of playing it and the chances of a EU release.

Gear Second and Gear Third!

Now Sanji looks slightly wierd to me (maybe mostly the outfit).

guessing it's an RPG based on anime series (which I have never heard of),

One piece is an awesome anime series. I recommend it to any one that likes fighting mixed with humor.

[Ike]

I have a question: how far is the manga in America, does anybody know?

One Piece: Grand Battle went up to the Skypiea arc, which the anime never got up to (and never will, since 4kids stopped dubbing it).

Anyway i really hope it gets EU release, looks great.

FUNImation is now dubbing One Piece! When they start showing in America in August they will be continuing where 4kids left off, which is the filler arc Rainbow Mist, but after it the Jaya/Skypiea arcs.

So chances of this getting English release has increased hopefully.

There were no GC games afaik, and since not much details have been released in English about this game, we can't say a lot about how good it is. However for a One Piece fan, this is looking very promising.

There were GC games Shorty just not adventure type games, there were some fighting games. But they weren't very good.

[DiemetriX]

Does anyone know the time line of this game?
Looks like it tells a lot of the sorry. You can see the mermen part and the part where luffy visits louge town.

There were a few:

One Piece: Grand battle 1-4
The first game was released in the US and UK, the rest were JP only.
A rather basic fighting game.

One Piece: Grand battle
Released in Japan and US, pretty much the same as the grand battle games but with a larger story mode. Went up to the Skypiea arc.

then there was a One Piece Grand carnival or something with was released in the US and JP. I think it got a GC release.

The first did make it to ps2 it was good if you like the storyline - but hearing those annoying dub VA made the experiance miserable.

Nah they weren't amazing, Grand Adventures was pretty entertaining though. I wanna import grand battle 4 because it has Oyiabin (spelling?) from the foxy pirates in.

If I were you I would import DON Battle Stadium. Its quite good, because it settles the age old question Luffy would win in a fight against Goku.

Ah thanks, I thought it was his name but i couldn't remember :P

[ZeldaFreak]

Yes but he was refered to by his nakama as Oyabun - however in the anime the strawhats referred to them as Foxy Pirates.

But best villain team is CP9

No they don't have the same techniques


The woman can create bubbles
And the guy with the bull hons can slice dimensions
Then you have the guy with the pidgeon who can turn into a leopard
And you have the the guy who can turn into a giraffe
And the guy who can turn into the wolf
And then the other two with the same exact power


Actually your kinda right. But still the fights were awesome and sanji's you know what against you know who was fantastic.

Wow, I'm so getting this, if they release it here.

[Hellfire]

Man, I hope this comes out here.

[pedrocasilva]

I wonder how it's selling in Japan as it came out in April 26th.

I reckon it deserves to sell, hope Nintendo gave Wii shipments a boost this week for this one game :)

[James McGeachie]

Honestly I bet it's selling at a pretty mediocre rate. It's the norm with the DS and Wii really that although the quirky non-gamer type games sell by the truckload, the games that'd normally do well on other systems in Japan like rpg's and anime based titles don't seem to perform all that amazingly.

I can only assume it's because as far as core gamers are concerned it's the same people who've always bought Nintendo systems that are buying them in Japan just now, it's not dragging away Sony fanboys. All the new success is pretty much entirely attributed to new non-gamers buying into both the DS and Wii.

All the new success is pretty much entirely attributed to new non-gamers buying into both the DS and Wii.hmmm, I don't agree with the kind of public you're saying DS and Wii have, sure developers don't really know what kind of machine is this, but look at DS? non-gamers? those non-gamers bought over 1 million FF3 and DQS copies there.

If a console is successful it'll sell, simple as that, I'd say PS2 was mostly non-gamers (or casual gamers) for example.

Besides, non-otaku gamers can like anime, One Piece is only second to Dragon Ball in popularity there, and thus buy the game, just like some of us buy a spiderman game after seeing the film.

PS2, PS3, PSP aren't selling that well as well as it's software there, so where did that kind of public go? things are changing, that's all there is to it.

Bare in mind that Wii's continue is low shortage, and they're not that expensive, One Piece could be a system seller in Japan, it's looking good enough for that and they will even integrate it's side-story with the anime, it's to sell the game.

Also did you notice Bandai has started doing publicity to this one title like 1/2 months ago? It's a lot of time beforehand, I'm really wishing they manage to sell it, despite the consoles shortage and FF XII RW coming out for DS this week.

EDIT:

Bandai Namco's highly promoted One Piece: Unlimited Adventure, which shoots off with a very healthy 30,000.Source: http://www.cubed3.com/news/7425/1/Final_Fantasy_XII_DS_-_180,000_in_One_Day!

30.000 units in one day? good or bad? and how will it develop?

[Shorty]

Found this explanation of gameplay/pros/cons which sounds pretty levelheaded: Link (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=6202658&postcount=35)

It's been getting scores like 7/10 across the board really. Well, I'll see what kind of scores it gets when it comes out over here =)

IGN's preview actually praises the game:

One Piece Playtest
We sample the Wii's latest anime title.

May 2, 2007 - The Wii's growing lineup of anime-influenced titles has thus far consisted primarily of ports of PS2 or GameCube game engines with a few gimmicky Wiimote actions thrown in. Given its minimal support for the Wiimote, we have a feeling that One Piece Unlimited Adventure is no different and was originally planned for a system with a more standard input option. However, in the end, Wii owners are getting this latest One Piece game all to themselves.

Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates are playable in Unlimited Adventure, which, like the title suggests, is an adventure game with a large world to explore and lots of enemies to fight. The adventure begins as the crewmembers find themselves scattered about a mysterious island following a shipwreck. Initially, you take control of Luffy in a search about the island for the remaining crew members, but Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Nami, Tony Tony Chopper, Robin and Franky quickly join the roster.

You're free to switch between these characters on the fly as you explore the island, but the basic controls remain the same no matter whom you use. You have access to a combo-ready standard attack via A, a jump via the B trigger, and a dash move with C. You lock on to the nearest enemy by holding down Z and evade incoming attacks by pressing A and B together. Each character also has a single attack assigned to a shake of the Wiimote.

One of the best parts of the game is how it initially tricks you into thinking that the combat system sucks. Each character starts off with a single move -- the standard A attack. As you use this, monotonously attacking enemies, you quickly learn new moves and a fluid battle system begins to emerge. Luffy gains the ability to string together two, then three-hit combos. He also gains an air attack which can take out multiple enemies in one go.

The game encourages you to use the full variety of your move set. When groups of enemies come in for attack, a command list appears on the left side of the screen. Execute all the commands, in any order of your choosing, and you finish off with a super move, resulting in some flashy effects and bonus items.

Each character feels so different that you're sure to have a preference. Luffy and Sanji have quick fist attacks, compared to the powerful, but slow, Franky. Usopp fires arrows; unfortunately, the game does not use the Wiimote as a pointer for aiming your attacks. Robin is a bit of an acquired taste, as all her attacks seem to involve her hands reaching out at the enemies from the ground. We personally like Zoro, whose quick blade attacks could make for an interesting game on their own.

The island that serves as the game's setting is large, and slowly expands as you play. At key points in the world, the Wiimote starts ringing out a deafening cry, indicating that there's a secret path to be unlocked in the area. To open up the new path, you usually need to find key items which are then fed to a mysterious orb that also plays a key role in the game's storyline.

New areas of the world are also unlocked by exploiting Franky's ability to assemble ingredients that you find scattered about the world into tools. Most important is a pickaxe, which can be used to break barriers. You'll also find a net for gathering insects and a fishing rod. These items all make use of the Wiimote for direct waggle controls (yes, another game that uses the Wiimote as a fishing rod; Dog Island, released the same day as One Piece, also has this minigame).

With the expanding world and large cast of playable characters it's clear that Bandai Namco and developer Ganbarion have packed a whole lot into the main single player mode of play in Unlimited Adventure. Those who tire of single play also have the option for a two player battle mode. You can make use of the pirate cast as well as all the boss and enemy characters.

At its core, One Piece Unlimited Adventure has all the makings of a quality title. But there's one big problem holding it back: the game was clearly rushed out the door to make a release in time for Japan's Golden Week holiday season. Framerate and loading problems are the big culprits. Particularly notable is the lengthy pause, complete with skipping audio, when switching characters. The framerate problems are also unfortunate, as the game actually might be one of the better-looking Wii titles thanks to its sharp cel-shaded characters. Presentation bonuses like the frequent CG cut-scenes and voice-based dialogue sequences are wasted due to the lack of polish.

It says a lot about the core gameplay that, despite the problems, we're still enjoying the game. If Bandai/Namco can clean things up for the international release, this latest One Piece title has the potential for unlimited success outside of Japan.Source: http://wii.ign.com/articles/784/784408p1.html

Now... if only they'd iron these out for the state-side (and european) release... I think we might be onto a winner.

[Hellfire]

If it gets released in the west I doubt they don't fix those problems like skipping audio.

[ZeldaFreak]

we might get it seen as 4kids have stopped dubbing it, and funimation want to sell every single item that they can. So chances are higher just depends how they refer to God Enel in skypeia arc. They they dub him as a fucking priest - people are going to be meeting Mr.Stabby

[Ike]

I just hope they release it in EU, problems or no problems.

[ShadowV7]

This sounds really hope,I said it once and i'll say it again,I hope we get this.It looks really good and the single player looks like it can be in depth and a good experience.

They could always do the dubbing while fixing out the errors at the same time to release it faster.

I can see this selling a fair amount if it get's released outside of Japan.Fingers are gonna be crossed for this one.

[kav82]

I've watched a couple mulitplayer vids over at Gametrailers, from these, I'm not too keen on it really.

Hoping the single player is really good though, I've just started watching One Piece!

[Shorty]

Ah man my expectations for this game are up and down so much. One minute I'm doubting it and the next I'm desperate for it! Just have to see what happens when (if) it reaches our shores.

[Ike]

Good news, FUNImation is dubbing the game and releasing it in the US. Lets pray for a EU release.

[Kirbii]

can't wait

[pedrocasilva]

Hope they leave the japanese voice acting as a option

[D-Day]

Hope they leave the japanese voice acting as a option

Me too! But Funimation did do a good job with Dragonball Z, so if you do want an English dubbing company, Funimation is the way to go (not bloody 4Kids). My fingers are crossed for this Being a One Piece nut, I know I'd enjoy playing it just for what it is!

[Ike]

Confirmed for a US release "Q1 2008".
