One Piece: Pirate Warriors is Coming to America!

Posted by Steve Hannley on 11 Apr 2012

Remember that anime that had the Gum Gum Fruit? You know, the guy in it could stretch really far. Kinda like a Japanese Stretch Armstrong. It was in Shonen Jump. You know about it. I’m pretty sure you know about it.

Well, Namco Bandai have just announced at their keynote conference that they’re bringing over One Piece: Pirate Warriors Something to North America and Europe! Originally released a month ago in Japan, this proves that One Piece does have some cultural relevance in America. Look for it in November 2012.

One day I plan to expose my child to no American history besides what they can pick up from playing Assassin's Creed III. Then I'm going to drop him or her into a Social Studies class and mildly enjoy the outcome. I'm going to be a great father.

<3 One Piece. This looks as repetitive and forgettable as the rest of the Dynasty Warriors series, and yet I'll be giving it a thorough play-through just because I love One Piece so much. I'm not too bright some days.

I’m interested. I like Dynasty warriors, only when it’s used in a Cross over like Gundam and FOTNS, but I feel this is a missed money making opportunity.

They must not know how many Anime fans there are here, and the fact that Dynasty warriors is rather popular here too.

I just hope it’ll be reasonable in price
