If you’re a fan of the Japanese manga JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure (like me) and played the 1998 fighting game by Capcom of the same name (like me), then this should excite you. Cyberconnect2, who has a great track record with the Naruto games and Asura’s Wrath, are developing a brand new fighting game for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. Although it is made with 3D graphics, it takes a lot of cues from the Capcom arcade game, keeping a mostly 2D plain of fighting. For those that are not familiar with the series, any amount of words can’t really describe the craziness of the characters and action.
So with out further delay, here is the latest JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle gameplay trailer…
