The release of J-Stars Victory VS in Japan last year on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita has been a dream come true for anime and manga enthusiasts all over the world and it’s pretty easy to understand why: where else could you pit Son Goku and Vegeta against Naruto, Monkey D. Luffy, Toriko and others? The announcement of the Western release of the game, dubbed J-Stars Victory VS +, has been rather surprising since no one ever thought the game would leave Japan due to complicated licensing matters.

With the game’s North American and European releases looming closer, Bandai Namco Entertainment has been promoting J-Stars Victory VS + with several new trailers which showcase the playable characters. Today’s trailer, which has been made available a few hours ago, features matches between characters taken from One Piece, Saint Seiya, Yu Yu Hakusho , Fist of the North Star and Otokojuku. You can watch these characters fight it out by going at the end of this post.

J-Stars Victory VS + is a 3D fighting game featuring characters taken from manga series published on Shonen Jump magazine. To win matches, players will have to fill the WIN gauge by defeating opponents repeatedly. Each one of the 39 playable characters can use a variety of attacks like regular attacks, power attacks, area-based attacks and finishing moves. Despite what was rumored in the past few months, J-Stars Victory VS + is going to feature all the playable characters of the original Japanese release. The game is also going to come with some extra features not seen in the original release such as a single player Arcade mode and some other balancing tweaks that will enhance the experience.

J-Stars Victory Vs + will be released on June 26th in Europe and a few days later, on June 30th, in North America on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
