Jump Force Deluxe Edition Brings Goku, Naruto And More To Nintendo Switch

Glad I didn't purchase this on PS4. Usually my son is on it playing COD or fortnite type of games. I'll get the switch version

This is sadly probably the closest thing to a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure game on switch. I'd even be happy to settle with just a port of All Star Battle or Eyes Of Heaven, but would absolutely love if they put Heritage For The Future on switch

So far, this game look like it running at the horrible flame rate. And I've also heard the same problem from PS4 and Xbox players.

The metascore for this game is 56...

The FPS drops kinda hurts, but I'll still get it nonetheless. (For Kakarot on switch ofc)

I have this on PS4... it’s ok. I still say the best Jump crossover games are the Superstar games back on the DS. It’s has Ryo from City Hunter so that’s a plus.

The 3D entries don't appear as enticing as the glorious Jump Ultimate Stars on DS (now THAT was the SSBU of anime crossovers, in more senses than people unfamiliar with it may even imagine), but I keep them on my radar regardless. Neat to see this one finally go portable, too.

@Incarna to be fair, these characters' Japanese voices tend to be even more iconic, coming from sheer Legends and veterans of seiyuu industry... but if you've grown up on dubs alone, it's understandable if they don't do as much for you personally.

I really like the concept of this game, but as far as I can tell they give no reason for how any of the other characters are on par with the Dragonball Characters. Atleast in Injustice they have a reason for why every character can take on Superman. But in this game, there is no reason for it. If Frieza just started destroying Newyork city, both Naruto and Luffy would be of absolutely no help.

I have this on PS4 ... maybe I am missing something, but the game was not great. I'll definitely give it a second chance on Switch, though as the Sleep function on Switch might make the game more accessible

@nhSnork That also added a ton more Shonen characters than this game had. I was really hoping for them to go all out on the roster, adding in some very underrated characters like Taikoubou from Hoshin Engi

@AxeltheBuizel Clearly, you don't played Astral Chain yet.

I got this game for free with Xbox Game Pass and it's just okay, I wouldn't go out of my way for it but big time anime fans might like it.

To add to my earlier comment, the only 2 series that could match the DB Universe in power are Bleach and Saint Seiya. But the rest of the fighters should not be anywhere near that level.

@FlashBoomerang I've played Xenoblade 2 that technically counts

@patbacknitro18 alas, mass-licensing such projects is a nightmare roulette with unpredictable results at any given moment, let alone over a decade apart. I haven't even pulled the trigger on the Vita game to this day, despite relatively recurrent sales, because the roster felt admittedly underwhelming in comparison to JUS. And the panel system, opening the door for even more franchise cameos similarly to SSBU's Spirits, is easy to miss as well. But beggars can't be choosers, at least outside the choice of if and when to buy these games.

Wow, that frame rate is terrible even in the trailer XD

@nhSnork Actually its not that hard since Bandai has, pretty much, claimed a monopoly on Shonen Jumps series lineup. Not to mention that many of the underrated series, like Hoshin Engi, haven't even had their gaming rights purchased, so it would be easy to add them in like they had in JUS. This just feels like they wanted to really push the mainstream series, which is why My Hero Academia made it in.

@Incarna Sadly dubbing the game in English is a very tedious and time-consuming process that would just put a wrench into everything. Its the reason why most anime-based games now focus solely on the Sub.

Oh boy, I can't wait to see Frieza float into the air on nothing, on the go!

@AxeltheBuizel A while back they had announced an arcade "Battle-Royale" style game for Jojos Bizzare Adventure. It actually looked really awesome since the game's main gimmick was using your stands to alter the environment or for some creative combat. For a time there were rumors of it being given console releases, but all news about the ports have died down as of recently.

@mrmememan But Frieza can fly lol

@patbacknitro18 in that case, hope springs eternal.

If I can get a physical copy for less than $20...I'll give it a try.

@patbacknitro18 I heard about that actually. I'm not a huge battle royale fan but I'm willing to play anything slightly JoJo related and I could see it working well on Switch

It's cool they are porting it...... But looked not that great on the PS4. The fighting looks interesting, but the story just...... Oof.

But glad for those who liked the game.

Unfortunately I’m pretty sure it’ll only be a letdown after Jump Ultimate Stars.

@patbacknitro18 Yeah, but does he fly with out moving a muscle?

Switch is on FIRE with the releases!! Who needs a direct 😁😁

@mrmememan Actually yea, several characters in Dragonball can levitate effortlessly. I mean in all fairness to your comment its most likely them being lazy with animation, but for Dragonball characters, they can at least get away with it. It's not like if Naruto shot up vertically at a 90 degree angle.

@AxeltheBuizel Dude, go play Astral Chain so fast you can. You don't have the slighest idea how close it's to jojo. It's more close to jojo than the jojo's games theyselves. you don't will find this gameplay anywhere else.

@AxeltheBuizel As far as battle royals go it is really neat in how it incorporates the Stands into the gameplay. And to its credits its one of the only Jojo games that isn't a fighting game. So it has some uniqueness too it. I would still really love a Jojo game in the vein of the Yakuza series.

Being a massive fan of all things Shonen Jump / Anime related, this title sadly lacks the polish seen in earlier Bandai Namco games & left me wanting more. JF feels like a rushed job. After a while, the fighting feels very repetitive, & sadly this is the only thing that is half decent in the game. It's sad as it's likely the only game we'll get with Hunter x Hunter characters in sigh
You're better off sticking to the Naruto Ninja Storm games & the more recent Dragon Ball FighterZ in my opinion.

It's too bad cel shading hasn't been invented yet. The game would have been much better looking with that futuristic technology.

Man, this game disappointed me at almost every turn. On paper it sounds like gold, Xenoverse but with lots of anime characters and you can different fighting styles.

The story was meh, the art style is bothersome, the AI is pants on head stupid, and is filled with annoying design choices like having a sword-fighting style and sword cosmetic items but your character only uses their weird not a sword spirit thing.

@Bigbear1up Whoah! They said it was impossible to bring to the Switch.

New hope for MGS, Batman Arkham games.

Wowwwww.!! Never expected that this game would make the Jump!
Great game! Cant wait for it to come over.

@patbacknitro18 I'm mainly talking about the cutscenes

Of all the ports Bandai Namco could produce, they port the one with a sub-60 Metacritic score...

😐

what was one of the worst games of whatever year it came out comes to Switch with no fan fair

Ironically, my best friend and roomate JUST picked the vanilla version on PS4 yesterday...and hasn't even gotten around to it due to FF7R, but...welp. We also were complaining how they didn't port it to the Switch, too...like...wow.

I am on board with this. I played it on the Xbox One S last year and it is an awesome fighting game. One thing I want to know is that it says in the video you can offline using multiple joycons and elsewhere it says you can play online but is there local wireless as well? I don't want to play online. I have had any issues with playing with others online and I just want to play with my friends in local wireless matches. Ok thanks!

Eh, by all accounts the game is just another stale 3d fighter (like with Jump Stars Victory Vs on PS3/4). The art style also is horrible and does nothing but fail each property represented. Good for those who like this though.

Jump Force has been used by the competitors' own fanboys as a way to diss Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Now, not only the former game went down in history as the most bungled (mis)management of the franchises involved, but it also ended up being ported to Switch.

I'd say this isn't even misery poker, it's some kind of misery solitaire. But with the right discount, I could be happy to bite.

Can I get a soul calibur game bamco? Please? I don’t even like Tekken and I will take a port of TT2.

Christ, there are frame drops in the trailer. I knew this was a trainwreck before... but, good God, I thought it at least ran well.

And it's in Unreal, for crying out loud! If Fortnite can run well on UE4, what's Bamco's excuse here?

...Yeah, no. I'd pass on this thing even if I was the biggest weeaboo this side of the Pacific, if it came with a free console AND if the game itself was free.

Nooo, whyyy!
I hope the graphics only look like this in handheld mode. I hope a patch can implement better graphics if an hardware upgrade gets released. I only criticize when I believe you can do better. I own a large amount of Bandai Namco games on both the Nintendo Switch & PS4.

They should release SAO: Lost Song, Accel World VS. SAO, or Code Vein on the Nintendo Switch first. They are all instant buys.
Also, Accel World VS. SAO needs to be on the switch as hard mode seems nerfed or broken on the PS Vita.It plays great on the PS4 though.

@SpiderSquid the flame rate might get fixed before release. They got time, I played the game on PS4 and Xbox and didn’t see any issue other than your avatar looks hilarious when he runs.

Nice i have this on the ps4 but would be nice to have a portable won around.

@patbacknitro18 The same reason why Isabelle can go toe-to toe with Ganondorf in Smash Bros, just because.

Just picked this us on ps4 2 days ago. Darn, wish I would have knew it was coming to Switch.

A manga Smash Bros without Inuyasha, Sailor Moon, FMA, or Zatch Bell is like a PlayStation Smash Bros without Crash, Spyro, Snake, or Cloud.

On the bright side all the manga titles I mentioned have had (multiple) fighting games at some point. Despite being possibly the least iconic, Zatch Bell has seven fighting games.

I'm still confused on why Light is in this game. What's he going to do? Write the character's name on his notebook and boom he wins?

@AxeltheBuizel They should add Appleseed or Elfen Lied. I'd be all in.

The visuals of this game were a huge turn off for me, even on more capable machines like ps4 and xbone. I'm sure the switch version will be more horrifying. Can someone please tell me why they chose to go this direction after seeing the visual splendor that was Dragonball Fighterz?

Hopefully they fix all those weird animations that hamples the PS4 and Xbox One versions. I'm glad the game is coming to Switch but those framerates and animations doesn't look too good even on the trailer. After this hopefully we get Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and perhaps maybe Tales of Arise as well. Bandai Namco usually port these to Switch a year or so after the other versions so if this one bomb on Switch, rest assure the other ones may do better.

Uhm...hooray?

Wasn't this a terrible game and everybody hated it?

....I saw Projared played this...lol, nope, not playing it.

@AxeltheBuizel

Make that JoJo Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle! My favourite anime fighter, that would be amazing on the Switch!

@tadams587 Exclusive games to the Switch Pro would flop and alienate the playerbase.

@RPGamer Jump Force is pretty fun. I tried it in Game Pass and played quite a few versus matches.

Jump Ultimate Stars is far better though, I’d love for it to get a (hopefully localized) sequel (A playable Death Note rep would sell me on it).

@DK-Fan It was pretty decent. Those who didn’t actually play it say it's awful (I kind of can’t blame them).

@AxeltheBuizel I didn't think I would ever meet someone who knew about All-Star Battle. I love Jojo and want any Jojo game on Switch. Eyes of Heaven or All-Star is fine with me too!

@tobsesta99 I'd take Jump Ultimate Stars over this any day. I still play Jump Ultimate Stars on my New Nintendo 3DS XL. The representation of Ultimate Stars is unparalleled compared to this.

@Reigestugatensho A remake of Jump Ultimate Stars would be awesome. Especially if released worldwide. It’d be cool if the characters were drawn too.

This has a chance to be interesting.

Do the Yu-gi-oh! characters act like the Pokémon Trainer in Smash Bros.?

@Incarna I don't know if enough of the dub voice actors would be interested in reprising their roles in video game adaptations, though. It's not like in Japan where voice actors are more respected and popular among the mainstream. It's like how in Star Wars expanded media and spin-offs it's a big deal whenever they can get the movie actors other than Anthony Daniels and Billy Dee Williams (the two who almost always do it) to reprise their roles.

@AlienX There have only been 2 "Inuyasha" fighting games, none since 2005, and neither of them are all that great. (Most "Inuyasha" games are actually RPGs.) That's a shame, as I would really like to see a good fighting game featuring one of my all-time favorite manga/anime.

@penamiguel92 Yeah, that is odd. It would be almost like including Saitama from "One Punch Man" or Zeref from "Fairy Tail." Just imagine how those characters would play if they remained true to the lore.

Then again, if Phoenix Wright can be a fighter in Marvel vs. Capcom and Project X Zone, I guess it's possible to come up with some kind of fighting move set for Light.

I would have considered this if there was English dub
