[TGS 2016] One Piece: Great Pirate Colosseum impressions
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Previews | 3 Comments
Nintendo Everything was at this year’s Tokyo Game Show! We had a low-key presence at the event, but we did manage to try out several upcoming Japanese 3DS titles. Look for our impressions in the coming days.
One Piece: Great Pirate Colosseum is a 3DS fighting game developed by Arc System Works for Bandai Namco. It will be released soon in Japan on September 21, but there was a demo available at Tokyo Game Show 2016 and we were able to try it out. However, we were limited to CPU battles.
Although One Piece: Great Pirate Colosseum will have many playable and assist characters, not all of them were available in the TGS demo. For example, the only available Straw Hats were Luffy, Sanji, and Franky. One side can either pick two main characters and two assist characters, or substitute the assist character slots for a third main character.

Chase: Cold Case Investigations ~Distant Memories~ will launch in both North America and Europe on October 13, Aksys Games and Arc System Works announced today. Pricing is set at $5.99.
The adventure mystery game comes from the mind of Taisuke Kanasaki, director of Nintendo’s Hotel Dusk: Room 215. It follows the story of two detectives “whose sense of justice and raw instinct drive them to seek the truth.” Players will be asked to put their sleuthing skills to the test and re-investigate old crime scenes and solve cold cases by searching for clues and interrogating perpetrators.
Here’s a rundown of features:

Update: Added new screenshots to the post.
Original: Natsume has sent out some new assets for River City: Tokyo Rumble detailing some of the game’s characters. Find art below, along with their descriptions.
KUNIO – Kunio seeks to take back Tokyo from the massive Lion Alliance gang. Kunio is a thug with a heart of gold who looks out for his pals and fights for justice.
RIKI – A misunderstanding with Kunio roped Riki into the fray. Riki fights for justice, but when he gets really mad, he snaps and goes berserk.
MISAKO – Misako frowns on delinquents, but makes an exception for Kunio.
SHINJI – Shinji went to school with Riki and is older, so he expects to be respected. He demands respect from his lowerclassmen, with fists if necessary!
MISUZU – Physically huge, Misuzu intimidates people and has a tough personality to match. Treat this delicate flower like a lady, or she’ll introduce you to her fists!
RANDY – Returning from River City Ransom, twins Randy and Andy make up the Double Dragons!
SABU – Gunning for revenge against Kunio, who previously humiliated the Sanwa Gang. Fans of Renegade should remember this bad guy!
TEX – Usually easygoing, until something gets him riled. Then he turns nasty! Watch out for his spin attack!
TIGER CLAW – The younger of the Double Tigers wrestling brothers!
