JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - All Star-Battle



As a huge fan of the bizarre world that the manga known as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has managed to give me over a span of an incredible 24 years (Starting in 1987 on Japan's Weekly Shonen Jump), the series focused on the misadventures of a family known as the Joestars. Each of the family members possesses a bloodline curse in the shape of a star shaped birthmark, which gives them the power to harness unique 'Stands,' special spirits that take on a shape distinct to their owners.

The series blew me away with its insanely creative approach to explaining these powers, and the epic battles between these different protagonists and their distinct powers. The only problem with this series is that I don't think it ever got videogame justice, with a slew of half assed fighting games being released over the last decade or two. However, this newly announced BandaiNamco title, called Jojo's Bizarre Adventure : All Star-Battle might just have a chance to redeem the series' videogame reputation with an awesome looking graphical engine that pays tribute to 24 years of memorable characters and the distinct style of the series.
