One Piece: Super Grand Battle! X Game Video Features Sabo, Amiibo Support

The official website for Bandai Namco Games' Nintendo 3DS title One Piece: Super Grand Battle! X debuted the third promotional video on Monday. The video highlights the addition of the character Sabo and support for Amiibo figure. The video also features the theme song "Beyond The borderline." by Hiroshi Kitadani and Mayumi Tanaka (Luffy).

The Amiibo figures unlock costumes for The One Piece characters. Luffy can wear Mario and Luigi costumes, Zoro the Link costume, Sanji the Fox costume, Nami the Wii Fit Trainer costume, Franky the Donkey Kong costume, Brook the Marth Costume, Chopper the Kirby costume, Usopp the Yoshi costume, and Robin the Samus costume.

The "traditional" fighting game promises the largest "dream battle" in any game inspired by Eiichiro Oda's One Piece manga thus far. The game features more than 85 characters from the manga and anime's New World setting. The game is the latest One Piece fighting game installment after the Grand Battle! and GIGANT Battle! entries.

The game shipped in Japan on November 13 for 5,690 yen (about US$48). First copies of the game came with a "Grand! Revival" sticker, a "Grand! Revival" reversible package, a download code to receive three songs ("We Are!," "We Go!," and "Wake up!") to listen to within the game, and a serial code to receive Chopper (increased intellect) and Black Tairo Turtle characters for the One Piece: Treasure Cruise smartphone game.

Amiibo figures unlock exclusive game content and features in games such as Super Smash Brothers, Hyrule Warriors and Mario Kart 8.
