The English localization for J-Stars is a HUGE deal.

If it sells well, it could represent a much bigger push by Namco to bring many other Japanese games outside of Japan who’ve never seen the light of day outside the Land of the Rising Sun.

Namco has actually stated their intent to listen to their fans more by bringing games like J-Stars to Western shores, so if you are an anime fan, you definitely owe it to yourself and to the future of Japanese localizations to buy a copy!

Our version of the game will include:

* A brand-new Arcade Mode not seen in the Japanese original.

* Japanese voice-overs with English subtitles (localized in English, French & Portuguese).

* A worldwide release for North & South America, Europe, the Middle East & Australasia.

It’s worth noting that the “Plus” in the title refers to the fact that this is the first-time ever that a Jump-based videogame is being released for the PlayStation 4, as well as the fact that the Western version will have new features not seen in the original Japanese release.

It’s absolutely fantastic to see Namco finally listening to fans and satisfying the ever-growing anime/manga fanbase outside of Japan with a game like this.

This is the type of project that Americans & Europeans and everyone else never thought would see the light of day; and would remain an import-only proposition.

Hopefully this game sells super-well, and spurs on more official English localizations of other titles that normally don’t get released outside of Japan.

BUY THIS GAME!
