Luffy from One Piece could be punching across the stage like Min-min, Doku would basically be Lucario, and the combo of Light and Ryuk from Death Note could play like Joker from Persona. You could have a Smash Bros-type game featuring their available anime/manga franchises. Hell, Rockstar just removed all the classic Grand Theft Auto games from storefronts because they want people to buy the remasters and have no other options. What if Bandai Namco is going to work on one of those? It wouldn’t be the first time a developer has removed prior games to get people to buy their new ones. knockoffs that, if by the end of 2023 I’m not using Progressive’s Flo to fight the Aflac duck, I’m gonna be disappointed. Remember how everyone wanted Goku in Smash (for some reason)? Well, right now it seems like so many people and companies are trying to make Smash Bros. I got my own theory but it’s a massive shot in the dark so get your tinfoil hats on, kids. So, with a few years under its belt, they probably just think it’s not financially viable to keep it up. Even the One Punch Man game ( which I thought was actually somewhat brilliant) faded away with little fanfare. They sell because fans are hyped but never meet expectations. These kind of games normally sell well but don’t DO well, if that makes sense. There’s a lot of speculation as to why Bandai Namco decided to pull the plug on this game. I can almost promise the DLC price is going to drop though, so if you did have interest in the game, you might be able to snag all the DLC characters when it dips and save them for a rainy day fighting game. ![]() ![]() I can almost promise you the price of the game will go up at Gamestop this week (I say this as someone who spent years being stuck as the guy working the night of price changes). ![]() I feel like the businesses are going to watch as to whether or not this news makes people rush out to get the game in a panic and choose whether to put the game on sale or raise the price.

In August 2022, more of the features will be shut down, including multiplayer lobbies, clans, leaderboards, ranked battles and more. You’ll be able to keep the characters you have already purchased but you won’t be able to purchase new ones after that date. Water Law for One Piece fans, Giovanna for Jojo fans, and Seto Kaiba for people with zero taste. There are also other DLC characters you might want to snag like Majin Buu for the DBZ heads, Trafalgar D. The game gives you Midoriya, but if you want Bakugo, Todoroki, and even All Might, you need to snag them now. This will especially affect My Hero Academia fans as 75% of the characters from that particular franchise are DLC only. First off, after that date hits, you will not be able to purchase any of the DLC characters. Now, what does this mean for people who own the game? Well, a few things. It’s just going to disappear completely from the store along with its ridiculous amounts of DLC content. Since digital versions do not have any sort of real-world presence, the “used game” service won’t save it. Or, if you’re a Gamestop employee, it means you’re going to take all the mint physical editions you have in stock and will be relabeling them as used.
