Really wished this game was getting a dub release, or at least a Wii u release

I am bummed that the Marineford version for the XBOX ONE isn't coming to N. America as of this time. I believe that the ONE is region free though. Any recommendations on importing besides Amazon.uk? (the best?) I have never wanted an overseas game before.

Don't know if the North American bonus characters will be exactly the same as the European ones because it doesn't look like Afro Luffy is in that teaser pic on Twitter, but I had never seen "Kung Fu Luffy" before, looked him up and the official art totally resembles the silhouette. He looks pretty cool in that outfit I will say. I think I'll wait to see how the roster and the reviews pan out before buying, but I am quite interested in a good One Piece fighter.

i know what you mean but FUNimation said that they don't want to commit actors to characters in a game when they have yet to dub that particular character in the Anime

Viz does it with the Naruto games though. (Even though, from what I can gather, most people play it in Japanese anyway. I get complaints from time to time when I upload playthroughs of the NUNS games with the English voices.)

I'd say that, more likely, it's because One Piece isn't big enough in the Anglosphere to sell enough copies of this game to pay for an English dub.

The Naruto Dub/Sub fanbase is pretty split from what i see on the internet, the sub fans are just more whiny and feel the need to impose their likes on others.
