Since we talked a little about import games here this morning, showing off a trailer for a game often mentioned in the same breath as "if only" seemed appropriate for our video spotlight. If you're one of the four people around who isn't familiar with Jump Ultimate Stars, let us enlighten you. Jump Ultimate Stars is a fighting game packed with hundreds of manga characters. Yes, hundreds, from dozens of series ... and it also happens to be a great fighting game on the DS. Check out one of the trailers for the game after the jump.Since we talked a little about import games here this morning, showing off a trailer for a game often mentioned in the same breath as "if only" seemed appropriate for our video spotlight.

Wow, I haven't wanted to play an anime game since Astro Boy.

Is it bad that I know all of those animes and have seen or read each of them?
And that I would kill for this game but still don't have a credit card?

@ AirPocket
Are you implying that you need or can use a credit card to kill someone? :P Looks Cool, too bad all the rights in america are distributed strangely.

i ordered this yesterday from play-asia.
for those un-creditcared (such as myself) it's worth a look in to their payment options. they had a bank account here (in australia) allowing for a direct deposit payment option. which is pretty neat.
although i've never read a manga or watched an anime in my life... just thought this game looked like great fun.

Some places do carry import games. Fry's Electronics, for example, has many DS and PSP imports. That's where I got my copy of Jump Ultimate Stars.
And I think some Best Buys do as well.
Plus, there's always the chance of a locally owned game store will carry imports, too.
And this is a MANGA game, not an ANIME game. :P
41 different manga are represented with at least one character (not necessarily a Combat character, but maybe a Support or Helper character).
