Namco Bandai has revealed some exciting new details about the upcoming release of manga-inspired action/adventure game One Piece: Unlimited World Red.

In the Story Mode, which features an original scenario by series creator Eiichiro Oda, a new “Difficult” mode will be unlocked after the first play-through. With Difficult mode unlocked, enemies and bosses will put up a much tougher fight upon replaying the episodic adventures of the Straw Hat Crew, with rare special items to be awarded for taking on the additional challenge. It’s unclear if this higher difficulty will function as a true New Game+ mode, but any added replay incentive will be a definite plus.

Speaking of bosses, some of the Pirates and Marines you can expect to face off against include Shanks, Boa Hancock, Trafalgar Law (aka Surgeon of Death), Aokiji, Rob Lucci, Caesar Clown, and Doflamingo. In addition to the storyline, Eiichiro Oda has designed two new characters just for the game: a cheerful and sassy raccoon named Pato, and a pirate villain named Red Count.

Eager One Piece fans who pre-order the game ahead of launch will also be treated to a “Day One Edition” upgrade containing exclusive DLC created in commemoration of the animated series’ 15th anniversary. The extra content will include a Strong World Adventure Outfit for Luffy, 9 additional anniversary costumes for members of the Straw Hat Crew (Luffy, Nami, Sanji, Chopper, Zoro, Usopp, Franky, Robin and Brook), and the “Flame Fist & Straw Hat” bonus quest.

Developed by Ganbarion, One Piece: Unlimited World Red is scheduled to launch in the U.S. on July 8th for 3DS, PS3, Vita and Wii U. It’s important to note that retail distribution will vary by platform. The 3DS and PS3 versions will be sold in stores nationwide, while the Vita version will see a limited retail release exclusive to GameStop, and the Wii U version will skip brick and mortar altogether for a digital download release via the Nintendo eShop. Pricing also varies: $29.99 for 3DS, $39.99 for Vita, and $49.99 for PS3. (I don’t have confirmation for the Wii U price, but I’m guessing it’ll be equal to PS3.)

]]> The Fairytale Story of Pandora’s Tower Has a Dark Twist http://www.vgblogger.com/the-fairytale-story-of-pandoras-tower-has-a-dark-twist/20365/ Sun, 17 Mar 2013 22:38:15 +0000 http://www.vgblogger.com/?p=20365 PandorasTower

On the surface, Wii RPG Pandora’s Tower, finally coming to North America in April thanks to XSEED Games, appears to follow the tried and true fantasy video game storyline of a damsel in distress. But it actually goes much deeper and is much darker in tone.

In this new trailer, you will meet Elena, a beautiful young singer who has been infected by a terrible curse, and Aeron, the hero of this grand tale who has devoted himself to freeing Elena from her accursed prison. To do so, he must defeat a dozen “master” monsters and bring their flesh to his beloved for her to feast on. But time is of the essence because the curse eats away at Elena’s humanity with every tick of the clock. Will Aeron still love and cherish Elena as she changes into a hideous beast?
