One Piece: Super Grand Battle! X 3DS Game's 2nd Promo Previews Fights
posted on by Sarah Nelkin
Bandai Namco Games began streaming the second promotional video for its Nintendo 3DS "traditional" fighting game One Piece: Super Grand Battle! X (One Piece: Chō Grand Battle! X) on Wednesday.
The video describes the game's fighting system, in which players engage in an all-out battle against each other using the terrain and items available to them. With the new system of alliances, the player can fight while quickly changing out between two characters. Support characters have multiple uses, such as countering attacks and healing. The video also introduces the "New World Domination" mode, in which players try to take over various points to become victorious.
The "traditional" fighting game promises the largest "dream battle" in any game inspired by Eiichiro Oda's One Piece manga thus far. It will feature over 85 characters in the manga and anime's New World setting. It is the latest One Piece fighting game installment after the Grand Battle! and GIGANT Battle! entries.
The game is scheduled to ship in Japan on November 13 for the suggested retail price of 5,690 yen (about US$56). First copies of the game will come bundled with a "Grand! Revival" sticker, a "Grand! Revival" reversible package, a download code to receive three songs ("We Are!," "We Go!," and "Wake up!") to listen to within the game, and a serial code to receive Chopper (intellect strengthening) and Black Tairo Turtle characters for the One Piece: Treasure Cruise smartphone game.
