The game stars 56 playable characters (like MvC2), and many more assist characters (unlike MvC2).

And of course, the game supports 4 player online battles, so have a look at who you might challenge in the future.

Our roster:
Mugenmidget, Press Start and Nightwing by proxy - 0731-0628-6484
quintorro - 4639-4820-3579
MikeL the pirating ******* - 4381-7855-6386
Tri
CloakBass (pending purchase?!)
Nocturnal Kid (pending delivery)
Jak - 5111 9560 2301
Dark Yoshi (considering purchase?!)
Rep-Koopa (doubtful, but wants it)

You might be wondering why I even bother with the "pending purchase" people, since they don't really own the game yet. Well they plan on picking it up at their local Fry's or Best Buy, thanks to the efforts of a distributor named "Import FAQs":

So basically, if you can't find the game at your Best Buy or Fry's, you just have to speak up.

By the way, do not purchase this game:



It's certainly a good game, but it's the predecessor. It lacks online play and the new characters, so only purchase it if you're some kind of wacky collector.

If you don't have a Fry's or Best Buy, or if you'd rather just order online, understand that import games come at a premium. We're talking around $50, but fortunately CloakBass has come through with a way to stave off Big Papa Moneybags.

Make your order through Yes Asia, using this link: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/go.php?http:/...pid-1004535358/

Enter the following code at check-out: WGASIA5

And now your game only costs $39.99! Okay that's not really a steal, but considering you'll probably never see this game over here (licensing issues) and it'll be one of your most cherished online titles, I'd say that's worth something.

I should have it within two weeks and would love to have some friends to battle over wifi, I don't think any of my local friends are planning on purchasing this.

Consider yourself added.

I'll consider buying this.

Mine should arrive by the 11th.

Sounds awesome, but I doubt I'll be able to get it.

Just an update, but my game isn't pending delivery at the moment. I cancelled the order since Yes-Asia does not accept US Debit cards (might wanna add that to your above post) and I haven't gotten around to re-ordering it yet since I've been busy with college and stuff. I should be getting it sometime in the future, but not as quick as I originally anticipated.

Got my copy!

Friend Code:
4639.4820.3579

I don't have my friend code yet, but I do have the game.

I'll try to get it up by some time tonight. Although if Press Start would like to get it instead that'd be just loverly.

I'm on hiatus from DS right now because of my parents, so any requests for online battles with me will be denied. Sorry guys :I

Just a heads up to everybody looking for this game. I saw it at my local Best Buy, but was unable to purchase it, because I think my dad already ordered it for me for my birthday.

But anyway just a heads up, Best Buy does indeed carry import titles. I suggest you check your local Best Buy before you consider ordering online.

My god Kenshin is the bomb and so is Kinnikuman, they are the ultimate team!

Our code is:

this game or the first one? i hope you mean this one! D:

Nocturnal Kid, did you see Jump Ultimate at Best Buy or the first game?

Despite my distaste in purchasing a video game in Japanese. I almost purchased this sequel today on an impulse buy.

After a long day of a great haircut and sushi, the only thing left to do was stop by Frys Electronics.

Unfortunetly (sp?) they were completely sold out of the sequel and only had the first installment. So I purchased DiddyKongRacing instead.

It'd be like 50 bucks at Fry's anyways. The $39.99 deal should be around for a while, so if you manage to scrape up the expendable dough you might as well just order it online.

okay i got this

it is pretty cool but i have no idea what's going on and i only have naruto and luffy

Basically, you go through the story mode completing objectives that it lists (each fight has 5 and sometimes an extra one). GameFaqs has a Spanish FAQ on the individual goals, so if you know even a little spanish you can figure out what you need to do.

Most of the necessary goals though are straight forward though, and next to each goal is either shapes (which means you get money if you do it) or a person (which means you get a single koma person if you beat it).

In order to get more people, got to the J shop, which is the 2nd option on the bottom row of the main menu. You use the money you earn to "evolve" single koma pieces, and certain ones turn into big characters, others to assists, etc.

Ok, adding you code!

edit: and anyone who has this, be sure to PM me for a match anytime

At Best Buy I saw Ultimate Stars and the original, both for 50 dollars. Those two games and some Naruto game were the only import games.

EDIT: I should also point out that not every Best Buy carries imports. I went to three Best Buys, looking to replace my DS with a two year warranty (Sadly I had no luck) and I only saw import games at one out of the three I went to.

Finally. That's the kind of confirmation I wanted to hear, since I wasn't sure how many people were mixing up the games. Thanks a bunch.
