Jojo's Bizarre Adventure HD is a High-definition port of the original game, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future.

This game is different from CyberConnect2's recently announced JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle game for the PlayStation 3 console.

The HD version costs US $19.99 on PSN and 1,600 points (about US$20) on XBox Live.

The game was released on PlayStation Network, August 21, and Xbox Live Arcade, August 22.

Features

Story Mode

The HD update will feature the option to play in either the classic arcade style as well as in “Arcade SD Mode,” which will be pixel art-y like the original games.

Online Play

The game will revive/support online play that will include the ability to filter opponents by location and connection speed, similar to the systems seen in Super Street Fighter IV and Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

Fans of lobby fights will be pleased to hear that the game will introduce a new eight-player multiplayer mode where players can compete (while waiting to compete) for a chance to compete in the final showdown.
