[DS] Bleach DS: Souten ni Kakeru Unmei

HEY. Do you like Bleach? No? That's alright. Bleach DS: Souten ni Kakeru Unmei is a four player 2D fighting game in the Bleach universe developed by Treasure and published by Sega. Released on 1/26/2006.

For those who follow the series: the game takes place around the height of the Soul Society arc, so all the major players (and their Bankai if it had been revealed during the arc) are here.

For the rest of you: You have 3 attack buttons (X, Y, A), a special movement button (B), and a guard button (R). You also have a plane shift button (L) that makes your character jump in the background (think Fatal Fury).



This game takes a Melty Blood/Guilty Gear system, so it's pretty reliant on combos and such, but thanks to the special movement button there're ways to get out of a bad situation. Characters have long life bars, so there's usually only one round to win. There's also a card system aspect to it, where you hit the touch panel to give your character a STR/Life boost or give your opponent some sort of disadvantage, but I usually turn it off.

It doesn't have much as far as extras go. You earn new characters and system voices by beating certain modes with certain characters, etc.

This game is WiFi, but I don't know how it works outside Japan. Playing online, there will be instances of lag, but it's very rare.

For those who want a great portable fighting game, I'd recommend this one. Even if you don't know the characters, the fighting system's solid and there's alot of personality here.

Thoughts?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, I know which ones you mean. But it's alot faster and deeper than those. I guess.

I don't think this'll ever be hitting the states, even if the series is licensed. I don't know if Viz would put as much effort behind it compared to Naruto.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Friend Code: 184-747-918-844 (in Japan, so I don't know what'll happen)

Taegueki, if you like fighters like KOF and GGX, I'd definitely recommend this to you. The Reifu make the game more like SSBM than GGX though, in my opinion.
