One Piece: Grand Pirate Colosseum Trailer Showcases Plenty of Gameplay

Arc System Works not only work on their own great fighting series like BlazBlue and Guilty Gear, they also work on some great licensed games. This One Piece: Grand Pirate Colosseum trailer showcases a lot of gameplay of Arc System Works’ upcoming 3DS fighter.

Mechanically the game looks similar to some of Arc System Works’ other handheld fighters. Not only does the 2D pixel art look gorgeous, but it also promises a simple and engaging handheld fighting experience.

Fights take place with two fighters, and two support characters. One Piece: Grand Pirate Colosseum has some of its own unique mechanics too. Firstly the trailer shows off the “jet slide”, a launcher move that ends in a rock-paper-scissors match up. There are also “dramatic clashes”, where it looks like you can time attacks to parry and follow-up with your own combo.

Arc System Works don’t really phone in licensed games like this. It looks like a pretty slick and flashy fighter that follows the true One Piece spirit!

 

One Piece: Grand Pirate Colosseum releases 21st September 2016 on Nintendo 3DS in Japan.
