Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: ASB Adds Funny Valentine, Kira (as Kawajiri)

This year's 36th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine is announcing on Monday that Namco Bandai Games' JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle PlayStation 3 video game is adding more characters to its roster. Funny Valentine, the main antagonist from the Steel Ball Run arc and Yoshikage Kira (when he is disguised as Kōsaku Kawajiri) from the Diamond is Unbreakable arc are joining the roster.

CyberConnect2 is developing the game for the PlayStation 3 console. The game will ship on August 29, and the first copies of the limited and regular editions will both include a Hayato Kawajiri memo pad and a download code for the Yoshikage Kira character. There will also be a limited-number "Gold Experience Box" sets containing a gold art plate with an etching of Giorno Giovanna and Gold Experience by Araki in an acrylic case, a figure of Jōtarō Kujo and Star Platinum (that can be displayed with an August prize figure of Dio), and a soundtrack CD.

The regular edition will cost 7,980 yen (about US$80), while the limited-edition "Gold Experience Box" will cost 16,980 yen (about US$170).
