Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Studio Takes on Hunter x Hunter A Knockout Official Fighting Game
Introducing the Hunter x Hunter Fighting Game: Don’t Be Another Arena Fighter!
Oh no, not another arena fighter… fingers crossed Please, let it be something different! Marvel vs. Capcom 3 developer Eighting, known for their incredible fighting game prowess, is stepping into the ring once again. This time, they’re crafting a fighting game based on the beloved Hunter x Hunter franchise. Publisher Bushiroad Games made this exciting announcement at the manga and anime-focused Jump Festa 2024 convention in Japan over the weekend. (via Gematsu)
But hold your horses! While we would love to shower you with juicy details about this “full-scale fighting game,” Bushiroad has decided to keep us in suspense. They promised to reveal more information during their New Year’s broadcast on Saturday, Jan. 6. Oh, the agony of waiting!
Let’s talk about Eighting. These guys have been kicking butt in the fighting game scene for the past 30 years. Their resume is like a buffet of awesomeness. From the legendary Marvel vs. Capcom 3 to its Ultimate follow-up, they know how to pack a punch. But that’s not all! They’ve also given us adrenaline-pumping brawls in games like Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Fate/unlimited codes, and Bloody Roar. Recently, they teamed up with Guilty Gear creator Arc System Works for the Dungeon Fighter Online spin-off DNF Duel. And if that’s not impressive enough, they even lent Nintendo a hand in developing the spectacular Pikmin 4. Talk about versatility!
Now, let’s switch gears and dive into the Hunter x Hunter universe. Created in 1998 by the talented Yoshihiro Togashi, who also blessed us with the epic Yu Yu Hakusho, this manga has become a titan in the industry. Its popularity is off the charts, recently ranking 11th in a top 100 poll conducted by Japanese television station TV Asahi. Despite Togashi’s unfortunate health issues causing frequent hiatuses, this captivating series continues to be published to this day. It even received two fantastic anime adaptations, from 1999 to 2001 and then again from 2011 to 2014. It’s safe to say that Hunter x Hunter has stolen the hearts of fans worldwide.
Now, let’s get back to the upcoming fighting game. Fans have reacted with cautious excitement. On one hand, they see the immense potential of combining the Hunter x Hunter universe with Eighting’s fighting expertise. On the other hand, they fear the possibility of yet another lackluster arena fighter ruining their beloved franchise. Oh, the agony of uncertainty!
