Support NeoGAF

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

http://gematsu.com/2016/09/one-piec...treme-butoden-add-cross-game-battles-november

One Piece: Great Pirate Colosseum and Dragonball Z: Extreme Butoden, Bandai Namco’s Arc System Works-developed fighting games for 3DS, will each be updated in early November to add cross-game battle support, Bandai Namco announced.

This will allow users to battle each other no matter which title they own. Goku can battle Monkey D. Luffy, for example. Or Vegeta can fight against Nami. Cross battles will support both local and online play.

Further information will be announced at a later date.

One Piece: Great Pirate Colosseum will launch for 3DS in Japan on September 21. Dragonball Z: Extreme Butoden is available now worldwide.

This is *really* cool. As I understand, they're essentially the same games with different series attached to them, but has anything like this ever happened before?

 

[Squishy3]

so when's the toriko fighting game on the same engine

 

[KingBroly]

That sounds pretty awesome

 

[Drain You]

Wow that's actually really neat. Might have to pick up DBZ now. Also this is the first time I've ever heard of something like this.

 

[iBlue]

Wow that's pretty cool! Its like having Sf fight killer instinct lol

 

[sixteen-bit]

Amazing, lol

when's yuyu hakusho?

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Amazing, lol

when's yuyu hakusho?

woah woah woah

if we were getting a togashi ASW fighter it better be Hunter X Hunter

 

[udivision]

That's one way to do a crossover.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Thats so awesome - didnt see that coming, now we only need the OP game to be released in the west.

 

[SoulUnison]

What? That's insane.
What a cool idea. First they patch in multiplayer, and now they graft on an entire other game.

Is this unprecedented?
This is like this gen's "Lock-On Technology."

 

[Ray Down]

so when's the toriko fighting game on the same engine

Since it's rushing towards it's ending...it ain't happening.

 

[Leezard]

Really cool. They are not games I'm interested in, but I would love if more games did this.

 

[Master Milk]

that's cool

too bad the 3ds is region locked . . .

 

[Firehead]

woah woah woah

if we were getting a togashi ASW fighter it better be Hunter X Hunter

I would totally be okay with separate releases for multiple series that are all able to cross-play each other. It'd be one hell of a way to do a Jump! Super Stars.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Really cool.

I still want the One Piece 3DS fighting game before this one since that had Amiibo costumes.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

that's cool

too bad the 3ds is region locked . . .

Homebrew (≤10.7 only I think though) can lift the region lock, so import away if you're low enough.

If DBZ had online play I would've already bought it. This is super cool, but I don't have anyone to play it with.

It does. It has since April.

 

[Durden77]

If DBZ had online play I would've already bought it. This is super cool, but I don't have anyone to play it with.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Haha this is amazing. I didn't buy Extreme Butouden because apparently you need two cartridges for multiplayer but if the OP game gets announced for the West I might just buy both.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

That's one way too add replay value. :0

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Unexpected but nice!
All we need is a Naruto fighter and then...

 

[Mufausa The 3rd]

Unexpected but nice!
All we need is a Naruto fighter and then...

From Arc Sys too.. hot damn!

 

[PAULINK]

that's pretty damn cool, too bad I didn't care too much for butoden's battle system, otherwise i'd be all over this.

 

[Kagari]

woah woah woah

if we were getting a togashi ASW fighter it better be Hunter X Hunter

Yes please.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Unexpected but nice!
All we need is a Naruto fighter and then...

Can Bleach come in too?

 

[Rynocirator]

If DBZ had online play I would've already bought it. This is super cool, but I don't have anyone to play it with.

Wasn't online play patched in or am I thinking of something else?

 

[Piccoro]

Online play was patched in a few months ago, man!

 

[Fandangox]

woah woah woah

if we were getting a togashi ASW fighter it better be Hunter X Hunter.

Spoiler

If only

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Unexpected but nice!

This game is a ton of fun. Character selection is great with the best part of Naruto, the main Strawhats, and basically Cell Saga DragonBall Z with Frieda and Buu.

Can Bleach come in too?

Hahahahaha.

No.

 

[MrSaturn99]

This is amazing. Here's hoping OP: GPC comes over here!

 

[Sadist]

Wasn't online play patched in or am I thinking of something else?

Online play was patched in a few months ago, man!

Oh

I just bought Extreme Butoden for like € 15 and updated the game; the online thing already confused me because it wasn't mentioned on the packaging or in the quick manual lol

 

[RK9039]

Or Vegeta can fight against Nami.

lololololol

That's really unfair for Vegeta.

 

[SalvaPot]

Hot damn, that is a pretty PRETTY cool idea, it motivates people to buy both versions or just the one they like, it makes online battles more interesting and I guess its also easier in the licencing, too.

 

[Ray Down]

Can Bleach come in too?

After that ending, Bleach can go away.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

If only

Quick somebody make a 20 character roster and send it arc system.

 

[Kagari]

Quick somebody make a 20 character roster and send it arc system.

Should be pretty easy. HxH has a really good/varied cast.

 

[Ray Down]

Can Tonpa be playable in this game?

 

[KingBroly]

This just strikes me as a way they could do SNK fighters in the future.

Just make like 8 different fighting games but have them all playable against one another then have a GOTG King of Fighters after you've done all of them.

 

[Rynocirator]

Can Bleach come in too?

I don't see why not, Arcsys can probably do some cool shit with all the Bleach characters. Though it is unlikely at this point.

 

[Mr.Fresh]

That's cool it's like a huge dlc update for the game.

 

[Fandangox]

[pizzacat]

Is Koala in the one piece game

 

[Fandangox]

shit I forgot Koala, the best HxH character

 

[go_straight]

woah woah woah

if we were getting a togashi ASW fighter it better be Hunter X Hunter

Yu Yu Hakusho is a way better fit for a fighting game than HxH.

 

[RK9039]

Kurapica would be so overpowered though, against phantom characters.

 

[Rynocirator]

Is Koala in the one piece game

As a support character

[HyperHip]

Too bad US will most likely never get this One Piece game, also doubt NB would bother updating EB for US (about 2 to 3 updates behind JP ver).

Still kinda cool to see this game supported as it's currently my 2nd favorite DBZ fighter.

 

[DR2K]

This is why region lock is terrible. Hopefully Nintendo does away with it on the future.

Why not? We got romance dawn and Red, there is hope... right?

 

[Spruchy]

Really cool news. If some like this happened when I was kid we would be collectively shitting our pants.

Youtube'd the One Piece game as I hadn't heard of it, man those super animations are long and boring (character flashes on the screen for like 7 seconds then does a boring ora ora ora-esque attack). Otherwise game looks decent.

I like how the thread has derailed into HxH wishlists. All ya need is the main crew + Spiders and the rest is gravy.
