NDS: One Piece Gigant Battle 2 New World!! + MSP Luffy Limited Edition

Here is a update on the NDS: One Piece Gigant Battle 2 New World + MSP (Master Star Piece) Luffy Limited Edition. Have been playing the NDS game itself for a good week and just finished playing and I must say, being able to use all my favorite One Piece characters is pretty awesome. Compared to the first one, you can now use the entire Mugiwara crew plus a lot of extra characters. There are around 40 playable characters and at least a good 100 support characters in the game.

The package I got was the MSP Luffy Limited Game edition bundle, which included a limited color alter of the MSP Luffy figure. The difference is the vibrant colors as I wrote before in previous posts. The figure pose s basically the same, except for the coloring done on him. Personally I love the vibrant color version of this luffy, but I do like the regular MSP skin tone color done on him more that the Limited Edition. The packaging done on this box set is well put together and the overall game and the figure is fantastic. 

One Piece fans, if you can get your hands on the Gigant Battle 2 game, I would highly recommend it. You don't need to play the first one to know what happens in the second one, since the story is completely different. However, the game is only in Japanese but it's not that difficult to play through the game. It is mostly about destroying your opponent and kicking ass. Enjoy!

Banpresto MSP Luffy + NDS One Piece Gigant Battle! 2

Nintendo and Banpresto have also finally released their NDS One Piece: Gigant Battle! 2 Limited Edition with MSP (Master Star Piece) Luffy (Game Edition). The packing is pretty sweet, very different from the other MSP boxes that they come in. On the top left corner of the MSP box, it has the label of the Gigant Battle! 2 Limited Edition logo on the box. For those that are ordering the Limited Edition, keep an eye out for those when you get yours in! There are two different types of MSP Luffy (New World/Time Skip) versions out there. One is based on the Banpresto color scheme (dark and a little bit more realistic), while the Limited Edition one is based on the Manga color scheme (brighter red top, non-gold belt, and straw hat color is lighter).

Personally I like the upper part (mainly his scar) of the regular MSP Luffy compared to the Limited Edition. I may do a mix and match and maybe buy both of them. But I may change my mind once the Limited Edition comes in and see how it looks. For those that are still looking for the pre-order of the game and the figure, the link can be found below. Enjoy!

So the MSP (Master Star Piece) Luffy has been confirmed and there is a slight difference between the regular MSP version and the limited MSP version that comes with the game. The difference between the two are the color finishes and the materials. The regular MSP Luffy has more of a Grand Line men feel to it with it's dark colors, gold belt, and darker skin tone. In comparison to the limited MSP Luffy that comes with the game, the color scheme is Anime accurate. His clothes, belt, and hat is the same color as the anime and his skin tone + scar is the same as the anime as well. Personally I like the anime related one just because I didn't like the gold belt that came with the regular version, but I do however like the skin-tone color on the regular MSP version. Over all, I like both figures and if the regular MSP version is cheap I would be getting him as well.

Some big news coming your way as Namco Bandai is releasing their new One Piece: Gigant Battle 2 coming November and there is a Limited version, which comes with a Master Star Piece: Time Skip Luffy (special edition) with the Limited edition version. Some of the pre-orders so far are already sold out. Although it's quite expensive, the figure itself is pretty well worth it. The game itself goes for around 5,230 yen and the Limited Edition with Master Star Piece Luffy is going for 7,800 yen, so I would say this is a pretty good deal for getting two fabulous items.
