But my money is on the Street Fighter type. This isn't the first JoJo fighting game.
Still, damn fine way to make a title that captures the spirit of the series.
They're able to really translate the look and more importantly movement of anime and manga, so it'll look good. It does look like a tweak on the Naruto games, so I'm curious how different it'll be.
They're bringing back alot of Stardust Crusaders characters.
I think it is currently only PS3 right now, I doubt it will get a port.
I had a huge smile on my face during the whole video. I got a bit misty eyed as soon as ROAD ROLLER DA started.

The 2012 anime is a reboot based on the very first story arc/generation of the manga, "Phantom Blood" (and continuing on to part two by the looks of it) and...yeah it ends up becoming very differant in later arcs, especially at part 3, "Stardust Crusaders" where the Stands were introduced and the original dreamcast fightning game was based on.
Each story arc or "part" is it's own self-contained storyline following a differant generation of the Jostar family line (or at least characters in someone related to it). And so far the game's been showing characters from the later parts
Johnathan has been shown in shadow in some trailers as well, he's just not officially revealed, though.
Well...
Actually, the character in the still image preview for that trailer is from Part 1...

Pfft. Zeppeli-san or no sale.
Also, because I'm surprised nobody's posted this yet. . .
I regret nothing.
start at the beginning with JJBA, that'll give you the basic groundwork for how the series is set up and who the major players are.

Part 2 is extra fabulous Fist of the North Star with Super Vampires.
Part 3, generally the most popular, is completely different. The Stands all basically have (usually) one (usually) well defined power. You have your typical five man group (plus animal sidekick) that all fill a roll. The fights are interesting, because they emphasize planning, quick thinking and teamwork to counter each new Stand's ability when they only have their set ability to work with. For example, not going into too much detail, one fight has Polnareff and Jotaro, who excel at close combat, outmatched by a swordsman. The attacker avoids attacking when the others with ranged attacks are able to help. They're just managing to avoid total defeat when they eventually realize...
Of course, then the attacker reveals another twist to how this limited power works, which they then have to work around by using their powers in another interesting way, and so on.
I think Part 2 is the best, and for 2 and 3 to have the right impact you really need to read 1 as well. However, there's no reason you can't just start with Part 3 if you're mainly interested in the version from the game. The powers and plot from 1 and 2 don't make too much of an appearance, and the exceptions are either well explained or unimportant enough to be glossed over. You'll mostly miss references.
Also, be prepared for EVERY NAME EVER to be a reference, usually to music.
And seriously all the music references are great.
Part 2 is my favorite, and I'm hoping the anime is going to do it justice. So far, so good.
Expect the budget to skyrocket for Part 3, Japan really, really, really likes Part 3.
To make it less confusing, the fight going on in 0:56 in the first video is between Joseph and one of the antagonists.

Also the game will be out in Japan on August 29th:
Well as of Part 7 we're dealing with alternate realities as well and the entire world was basically reset in 6 sooooooooooo.......
I think the series is popular enough to localize it. They brought over the HD remake of the Dreamcast game, after all. I don't think any company has gotten the rights to bring over the anime, though, which would really help.
ACDC and Caesar A. Zeppeli were announced. It's likely that Cars will be playable or a boss (?) but no word yet. Possibly waiting for anime to end to announce it.
EDIT 1: Koichi and Akira announced. A bit surprising really. Hopefully we get Buccellati then!
EDIT 2: Rohan and C/Kars announced.
Have some gameplay with bots.
This game looks so good.
From the first video, I noticed the August release date, but it mentioned something about 6/18 - is this out in Japan already or is that what the August date is about?

Here are the last two previews that I've missed.
Still trying to find some good gameplay vids now that the game is out but it might take a bit.
Hopefully it's easy enough to play. Although I'll have to look online to see all the fun quotes I'm missing.
