Bleach: Versus Crusade - A fighting/action game developed by Treasure!

[Cao Cao]

It was revealed some time ago, but some scans from V-Jump recently appeared, explaining a bit more about the game. So far, I don't know much about it, other than it's a 2-player (Supports Nintendo WFC) fighting game developed by Treasure, and it includes content up to the anime's current Captain Shuusuke Amagai arc.

Looks awesome. I hope its widescreen. I also hope it has all the Espada and Vizard included. Vizard especially. I like Amagai too, I was really hoping he would stick around and be a permanent character.

As a Bleach fan, I am looking forward to this. I hope this doesn't take a long time to come to the US like the other Bleach games did.

I don't know how far along the US anime is right now but that could slow this down from coming stateside.

Right now it is in the Bount Arc.

I just hope this is as good if not better than the DS game.

Yeah, the last episode aired was 81, so we still have 29 more to go until we reach the Arrancar Arc, and volume 24 of the manga was recently released. But from another point of view, it's not like the anime's current position affected Sega before, since they released the first DS and Wii games uncut before the anime was finished with the Soul Society arc. They aren't like Namco-Bandai. :)

That is a big plus.

Hopefully this won't be as bad as the last one. Bleach is one of the few anime's I like and the last game was a huge dissapointment
