All Improvements Coming To JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure lends itself to combat-heavy adaptations well, with a cast full of colorful fighters. Despite that, it’s difficult to find console JoJo games nowadays. The first JoJo game was a 1993 RPG for the Super Famicom, but fans are more likely to remember 1999’s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future, a fighting game by Capcom. This title made it to America and was highly acclaimed, still seeing play through a PS3/Xbox 360 re-release and emulation. Capcom followed that up with a Japan-only beat ’em up adapting the popular Part 5: Golden Wind in 2002, and Anchor Inc. made a game based on Part 1: Phantom Blood in 2006.

Things went silent until 2012, which brought the HD re-release of Heritage for the Future and the still-running JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure anime. One year later, CyberConnect2 released its own JoJo fighter titled JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle. While its next JoJo game, Eyes of Heaven, would become an arena fighter like the company’s well-known Naruto games, All Star Battle was not. This PS3-exclusive was a fusion of Tekken and Street Fighter’s approach to fighting, and while its gameplay was not well-regarded, its art and animations were. Now, an upgraded version called JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R is coming to all systems, and its improvements might net more acclaim.
