As we see with titles like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and the upcoming Disgaea 5 Complete, new and improved hardware opens the doors for all-in-one editions of popular games. Another to seemingly add to the list is One Piece: Unlimited World Red Deluxe Edition.
If the name is familiar that's because there was an original release on systems such as 3DS and Wii U, which also made their way to the West in 2014; despite some downsides we still rather enjoyed it. It was a game that had its share of add-ons and DLC, which is where the Deluxe Edition will come in, offering all of the content right out of the box.
This game is reportedly getting formally announced in next week's issue of Weekly Shonen Jump (via Anime News Network); the brawler is due in Japan on Switch and PS4 on 24th August with support for local co-op up to two players. Whether it'll also come to the West no doubt relies upon a willing publisher and whether the original releases proved popular outside of Japan.
Would you like to pick this up on your Switch? You can always just buy the Japanese version, of course.
With thanks to laprasking for the heads up.

Great game, but with so many new characters, I hope it adds more content besides the DLC costumes.
One good note, if this got a port, what other titles will get Switch(ed)?
Looks neat. If it is also in English I'd consider picking it up from the JP eshop.
With all DLC and local co-op, I'll certainly pick this over the Vita version as long as it's localised as well. Japanese eShop with English language is an option as well, but I prefer buying stuff for my main account when possible, and in the early years it's always hard to tell whether to wait for the western release or not even start bothering.
@H1B1Esquire the more the better.
This is one of the WiiU titles I've always wanted to play and never had a chance too. If I remember correctly, the download file size of this game is huge. Like, 13 Gigs or something. It's only $20 but, I seldom have the space available. I'd definitely jam on a Switch version.
I have this on my 3DS. It's pretty good. Wish there were actual English voices instead of subs, but one piece isn't popular like Dragon ball or Naruto is. Story mode is pretty fun, but the coliseum mode can get repetitive if your playing alone.
Annnnd another port o well great for ppl that haven't played it.
Will sell more on the Nintendo Switch. It just seems tailored for it, and by September it should have enough hyped userbase to take on the PS4.
I liked the game on PSVita...
Could be a nice port of an old game. Port number 25673 that is..
Already have the 3ds and Wii U version, don't think I'll triple dip for the Switch version.
Curious to see how multiplayer will look in handheld/tabletop mode.
Take a look at this, guys:

I'd love to pick this up for the Switch... if I had a Switch. OP is my favorite anime and i saw One Piece Film Gold at Walmart the other day, but I couldn't get it because I was already spending $80 on three Metallica CD's (Load, Reload, & Hardwired... To Self Destruct) a printer, and One Punch Man. I may get it this weekend, though, along with Rings.
Is One Piece Unlimited World Red still available on the Wii U eShop?
@Azooooz Now that's a port I can get on board with!
@Koudai1979 It certainly is. They did one time had the game on offer digitally for about ÂŁ6 on Wii U but that was years ago and hasnt been repeated since. Though the PS3 and Vita versions have often been on sale for that price too.
@Azooooz : Yay MOAR ports!
@Angelic_Lapras_King Cool. I don't mind paying full price for it.
For anyone who was waiting, Shovel knight update live in Europe for Wii U
I want it!
You know what would go great with this? If they let you transfer you're save over like with the 3ds and Wii U version. That would be amazing and beneficial for the Switch because it means that data could be moved through different systems to the Switch.
Great game... got it on the Wii U... but I doubt I'd buy it again.
The main issue I found was that there was so much to do that it just became way too grindy to fully complete... not a problem if you're not a completionist, but as a completionist, it just got on my nerves after a while... it's actually one of the few games that I think would benefit from content being cut out from it.
Have the Wii U version. It's decent. Not sure if I'd double dip though. It's not a bad brawler. A little repetitive.
I love One Piece, but that game was very mediocre at best, so why would we care if a updated version comes out to the west? Wish for better games, not this.
Day one. I love one piece. I hope this makes it and I hope dragon Ball xenoverse 2 is still on it's way.
This is exactly the sort of game needed to convince my brother to get a Switch.
I would buy it but I'm so far behind and I'm sure the game is full of spoilers.
So ready for this and Xenoverse 2. I have UW Red on my 3ds and XV2 on my ps4 but i will buy again
This is nice, but I was hoping that we'd get new One Piece and Naruto games, not more deluxe versions. Not sure if I'll get this but hopefully it includes all the quest DLC too, good thing I never actually brought any of the DLC yet, just the costumes that come with pre-ordering.
Toei better be giving the Switch more love than just this.
I have this on vita, not a bad game. I also have one piece unlimited pirate Warriors, which is basically like Hyrule Warriors or the up and coming FE Warriors, Anyways I expect world red to come to the west
@ThomasBW84: Apparently it has been confirmed for release in Europe today:

@KJ85 There's a trailer too. It's been a busy day but it's on my to-do list for an article
@ThomasBW84 Yeah, but only in Japanese right? I have not posted the news myself yet, because I can't seem to find their source on that Spanish site. I have not seen any press release, social media post or something from Bandai Namco..
@KJ85 I'll look around, all I've seen so far is a Japanese trailer
