Should be fun, as I certainly have enjoyed both the DW Gundam series, and the Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage game.

I wonder if Jason from the One Piece Podcast would still plan to import the game or would be in wait-and-see mode instead after seeing this.

I'm in absolute shock. I thought this would NEVER come over here, especially since the show has never been mainstream here. Among the anime community it is, but among the general population, it never was.

It's going to struggle in sales I bet. I mean the last game that came over here sold only this well.

The Bleach game that came out over the Summer sold much better than it. I doubt it would sell anywhere near that.

Unfortunately, this is very true.

However, given that most games Koei make (excuse me, Tecmo Koei, now) do make it over here, I'm not that surprised.

I think the Fist of the North Star game would have been more of a long shot, and it was. One Piece had a much better chance, in my opinion.

I have yet to play the Bleach Dynasty Warriors style game, although I really want it.

Considering this game is being made by Tecmo Koei, if it does come to the US, I don't expect it to only hit the PS3, as it apparently has in Japan.

Koei has been very nice to the Xbox 360 community by making sure its titles hit that console, as well.
