Bandai Namco has announced a brand new Coliseum Mode for One Piece: Unlimited World Red.

According to the publisher, Unlimited World Red’s Coliseum Mode “will closely resemble the latest episodes of One Piece and bring heart-pounding action and glory to the ring as pirates fight relentlessly to earn top rankings.” Straw Hat Luffy and Trafalgar Law, a member of the Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea, will team up to battle Donquixote Doflamingo – a character joining the battle for the first time. Law will also be a new playable in Coliseum Mode only.

You can find some new screenshots from One Piece: Unlimited World Red above. The game is due out later this year in the west.

Super Smash Bros. series director Masahiro Sakurai posted the following on Miiverse:

Pic of the day. Luigi might be thinking, “Who would’ve thought I’d get to show off the Poltergust in Super Smash Bros.?!” Wondering if it’s going to suck something in? Yeah, it probably will.

Seems like we’ve got the first look at this new entries’ version of Luigi’s Final Smash. Is it the same as his crazy, crippling move in Brawl? That’s a Negative. Zone.
