Nintendo 3DS game features Whitebeard character with tremor-inducing powers

Bandai Namco Games announced on Wednesday that "in light of various circumstances," it is delaying the release of its One Piece Unlimited Cruise SP game for the Nintendo 3DS system from April 7 to a date to be determined.

The action game adapts Eiichiro Oda's original One Piece pirate manga and subsequent anime. Unlike the previous One Piece Unlimited Cruise games for the Nintendo Wii console, One Piece Unlimited Cruise SP offers the character Edward "Whitebeard" ("Shirohige") Newgate as a playable character. After eating the Gura Gura no Mi fruit and gaining special powers.






The fight with Vegeta piled the corpses high, so Gohan, Bulma and Krillin head to planet Namek, home of the last functioning set of Dragon Balls to revive a select few of the fatalities. Namely Piccolo, Yamcha, Tien and Chaozu. They've done this kind of thing before, so no complications are expected. Until Vegeta arrives, eyes on the prize of immortality and by extension the Dragon Balls that can grant him it. Soon enough, though, Vegeta is the least of their worries. Vegeta's boss, the aptly titled Emperor of Evil Frieza, has dreams of immortality also and he and his lethal cohorts are paving the way to eternal life with the bodies of those who stand in their way. And any bystanders unlucky enough to be nearby. Goku of course rushes to the rescue—if you can call training in space for half a season rushing—cutting a swath through ruthless underlings and body-swapping freaks in a race to go fist-to-fist with the universe's most powerful being: Frieza himself.

Aside from the prequel chapter, this work's only other advantage over its predecessor is that the artwork is more readable—as a monthly series it doesn't suffer from the same 18-page-a-week cramfests that the Negima manga has become notoroius for. If anything, the layouts are almost too conventional: squares and rectangles typically arranged in two or three rows, with action scenes that fail to break out of the mold. The character designs also adhere slavishly to the originals, and aside from a more youthful look and slightly different battle costumes, it's hard to spot anything distinctive about the characters. Also falling into the "don't really care what it looks like" category are the backgrounds, which typically range from generic high school scenery to generic battle scenery to generic interiors. Adding to that dullness is the overuse of tones to gray out almost everything in sight. And as for the claim that Negima!? in general is supposed to contain less fanservice than the original—well, what do you make of Negi still sneezing girls' clothes off, as well as a nude prepubescent girl in one of the climactic scenes?

Of course, this being a re-telling, the series tries to accelerate the pace of development by jumping straight into the Evangeline arc, and ending it a lot quicker as well. The results are, in short, disastrous. The whole point of the original Evangeline arc was to take that first step toward action-adventure greatness, to pit Negi against a challenging opponent and force him to stretch his abilities. By comparison, this interpretation tosses it off as a generic "hero defeats his first villain" battle, with a namby-pamby finale where everyone holds hands and becomes friends because Negi showed Evangeline the power of love. Come on, what happened to the complex relationship of a teacher and student as rivals? And for those who aren't comparing against the original, the fight will seem even more useless, as it does little else besides introduce the Pactio Card system—which in this series looks more like a merchandising tool than actual wizardry.

The one bright spot in this story is found right at the beginning, with the entirely original "Chapter Zero," a prequel piece that fills in the blanks about how Negi graduated from magic school. As an action-packed magical combat showcase, it does a fine job of drawing the reader into the series ... only to pull a nasty bait-and-switch when things quickly revert to mediocre with the actual first chapter. Negi rushes to school, annoys Asuna right off the bat, and tries to establish his authority (which is hard to do when all the girls are fawning over how cute he is)—yes, if you've read the original, you've already read the start of this series as well. All it does is serve as a reminder of how unimpressive Negima was at the beginning and how it took many, many chapters for things to develop.

With the Negima franchise having blossomed so profusely in the past several years, it's time to clear up some misconceptions. No, it's not anything like Harry Potter, despite a British boy wizard in the lead role and everyone casting their spells in an ancient foreign language. It bears even less resemblance to Love Hina, despite a massive female cast and having been authored by Ken Akamatsu. What is true about the series is that the original manga is an ambitious, complex fantasy-adventure—but only after about Volume 12 or so. What's also true is that the resulting anime adaptation fell so far short of the original that they decided to give it another go with the exclamatory Negima!? anime, taking on a totally different storyline that could be told in the space of 26 episodes. And that's where the Negima!? neo manga adaptation comes in, making it essentially a copy of a copy of a copy.

Tripeace Chapter 10 9

Negi Springfield is a ten-year-old boy who happens to be a genius in the field of magic. However, his wand-waving skills and training at a wizard academy in Wales could never have prepared him for his post-graduation assignment: teaching a class at an all-girls school in Japan! Surrounded by 31 teenage beauties, Negi's youthful charm quickly earns him some new friends—but some of his students, like feisty Asuna Kagurazaka, might take longer to warm up to him. Things get really serious when Negi discovers that one of his more rebellious students, Evangeline, is actually a vampire who has been preying on other classmates. Whether by magical firepower or more subtle methods, Negi's going to have to reform Evangeline if he wants to maintain his credibility as a teacher.

I first encountered Mitsuru Adachi via Touch. The series was one of the first to open my eyes to anime's potential and I credit it, along with Kare Kano and Berserk, with transforming me from a casual fan to a heavy-duty fanatic. To this day I rank it among anime's stone-cold masterpieces. I mention this so as to put the following in its proper context: By the end of these episodes I wasn't comparing Cross Game to Touch any more. I wasn't lining Ko up next to Tatsuya, I wasn't weighing Osamu Sekita against Hiroko Tokita, I wasn't even feeling nostalgia. I was just watching Cross Game. From me, there is no higher praise.
