This was shown off at the recent Nintendo Partner Direct, thought I think it was shown off in other places before. I was pretty curious about it as it looked pretty interesting. I realized pretty quick that it used Jump characters, specifically from Jump+, though none of them I was particularly familiar with outside of Spy X Family. I wondered what “Captain Velvet Meteor” was though, as that wasn’t a Jump character. This video from 10 years ago is literally all I could find (of course made by one of the devs of the game). So basically Shueisha gave their licenses to a pretty small studio to make a game using their characters… That’s certainly not something you see every day.

So I picked this up and it was a nice quick weekend game alongside Frogun.

So let’s go and see if it’s good!

Okay well I did say in the not-E3 posts that I would post a reaction for the Direct Nintendo would put out. I ignored the Xenoblade one because it’s dumb to spoil yourself too much on a game, but this is a bit closer to a normal Direct so… there you go.

Nintendo isn’t saving E3 this year, but hey, this might have… stuff.

I expect Dragon Quest Treasures to be shown (to what extent, who knows) since that is meant to get new info this month and there’s only a few days left, Mario + Rabbids 2 needs a release date (which got leaked by Ubisoft yesterday lol), and Bayonetta 3 has been very quiet since the trailer last year and it’s meant to be out this year still… That’s my only real predictions. The rumor mill has been going, but it always does, and it’s always wrong (even when it’s right, it’s just lucky guesses).

AS PER USUAL I am writing this intro before watching the Direct, and my reactions are written live as I’m watching it.

Let’s go I guess.
