J-Stars Victory Vs is an upcoming tag team Fighting game featuring characters from the various franchises of Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine. The game is meant to commemorate the 45th anniversary of Shonen Jump and is set to release for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita on March 19, 2014.

Overview

First announced in the second issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine of 2013, Namco Bandai Games stated that they would be releasing the "ultimate Jump game." Previously named Project Versus J, it was made to commemorate the 45th anniversary of Jump.

Hironobu Kageyama, Akira Kushida, and Hiroshi Kitadani are singing the game's theme song "Fighting Stars." People who pre-order the game will receive the J-Stars Victory Book, a volume bound like a Jump Comics book and filled with information and visuals of Jump heroes over the years. A free augmented-reality (AR) app lets you see the Jump heroes in your surroundings on the PS Vita.

Gameplay

J-Stars Victory Vs lets up to four players battle it out against one another in a gameplay and graphical style similar to those of Dragon Ball: Zenkai Battle Royale. Fighters can move and fight in all directions of a 3D battle field. Players should learn the lay of the land and formulate a battle plan with a character suited to it. A defeated character comes back after a set amount of time passes. To win the battle, all three sections of the WIN gauge at the top of the screen have to be filled; the gauge fills one section each time an opponent is defeated. Fighters can use regular attacks, power attacks, area-based attacks, and finishing moves. Regular attacks are the main part of the battle, and all combos begin with them. Power attacks leave the user open, but they have a big impact if they connect and their power can be increased by charging them up. Area-based attacks allow to hit opponents over a wide area. By using different techniques, the player can lead his team to victory; learning each character's different power, range, and effects is the first step towards being unbeatable.

Trivia

  • In previous cross-over games like Jump Super Stars and Jump Ultimate Stars the JJBA's characters were mainly of PART 3. In this case, the popularity of the anime changed the focus to PART 1 and PART 2 with Jonathan and Joseph as playable characters.
  • On the game's 3rd trailer, Jonathan and Joseph appears as the rival of Gintoki Sakata (from the GINTAMA franchise). Interestingly, both Joseph and Gintoki share the same voice actor, Tomokazu Sugita. They even made a joke about this fact, where Joseph says "Your next line's gonna be: Hey, where do I know you?" and Gintoki replies "Hey, where do I know you...WHAAAT?".
  • Both Jonathan and Joseph features kanjis (japanese words) on their attacks, to capture the escence of the series (since both the anime and the manga are formous for use it).
