With its early momentum the Switch is earning solid third-party support, and Bandai Namco is among the most enthusiastic backers. It has another title on the way to the system, albeit it's not certain whether it'll be localised to the West.
It's My Hero Academia: One's Justice, which was announced through the Weekly Jump magazine in Japan and will get its trailer debut during Jump Festa 2018, which runs from 16th-17th December. It's a "battle action game" and is coming to both Switch and PS4.
My Hero Academia started out as a 'comedy adventure manga' series in 2014, and a little over a year later was successful enough to prompt the start of an accompanying anime series. There was actually a 3DS game for the IP in 2016, but naturally it was Japan-only.
This will likely be Japan-only as well, but with the Switch being region-free any eager fans should be able to pick it up.

I assume we still aren't getting the Bandai one? Least think this was the series..
funny i was say they should make game based off the show bam month later it happen XD
I will be severely disappointed if you don't get to play as Stain.
Region free only goes so far if there is no English language option.
@PrinnyLink Had no clue there was a 3ds game befor XD wow you learn some thing new every day.
It’s a really good Jump series, not surprising that a big game is being made for it. I probably won’t play it though since I honestly don’t like anime/manga games. Expect for a few.
We're WAY past the point where I can't play every game I want to. Now we're to the "I can only play 10% of the games I'd like to play" phase.
I like the anime, so I'll need to check this out
Shame the fact that loveeeeee anime and biggest part of Nintendo's are releasing In Japan only....why oh why Nintendo
Read the article. Read the comments. Still none the wiser lol.
This feels familiar. Has there been something similar before?
Yesssss. One of my favourite animes
@Kirbyfan One Punch Man is very similar. Both dealt with a world full of heroes. Although My Hero Academia is a take on Western Super Heroes, while One Punch Man is a parody of anime cliches.
This is going beyond what Nintendo and third parties normally do with games like this compared to the past. Now if this gets localized overseas, they will Go Beyond, Plus Ultra.
Many anime games don't get localized because of licensing costs, and because they are lazy cash grabs preying on fans desperate to play as their favorite characters.
Much like Western movie games, which are generally also lazy cash grabs.
@PrinnyLink You should ask for a game based on Cowboy Bebop and see what happens 😉
toga himiko fans UNITE!!!!!!!!
Love this anime.
I like see Rocksteady Studios do video game adaptation of My Hero Academia series.
I really hope this is a 2D Arcade-style Fighting Game. I’ve been itching for another good anime one since Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Heritage for the Future and Hokuto no Ken (Arcade)
