One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 opening cinematic sets the tone

One Piece: Pirate Warriors was unashamedly silly, and One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 also appears to be unashamedly silly. The opening cinematic packs in just about all the over-the-top action you’d expect from a union between Omega Force and the manga property.

This video comes courtesy of AGB, so don’t blame me for the choice of thumbnail on the player. One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 hits Japan on March 20 and is due in the west in northern summer, on PlayStation 3 and Vita.

The first game only sold so well, because it was the first One Piece game on ps3 and people wanted a PS3 One Piece game.
The low ratings speak for themselves, this game is mediocre at best..

The Vita version has only been confirmed for a japanese release.

Namco Bandai EU doesn’t even mention a Vita version of their webpage

while they have already announced that the Vita version won’t make it the US.

Yeah I’m importing the Vita Version then buying the English PS3, so One Piece on the go, and I agree the first one was lacking in every area but the demo of Pirate Warriors 2 was REALLY fun and i cant wait to play this on the go then in english in summer! They have improved the original in every way!

^ Nah it won’t be I played and complete the first PW game in fully japanese and it is very easy to understand and navigate also there is always walkthroughs if you are stuck, I ordered from Play Asia for a great price only £5 more than retail Vita games in the UK.
