On Nov. 21, Namco Bandai Games released the Nintendo 3DS game One Piece: Unlimited World R. The game costs ￥5,980 (tax included) and has a CERO rating of B (12 years and older).

Matching up with the release, it was revealed that Shanks, one of the four emperors and captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, Marshall D. Teech, captain of the Blackbeard Pirates, and Edward Newgate, captain of the of Whitebeard Pirates, also appear in the game. These dream battles that haven’t been realized before are a must see.

Let’s take a look at the gameplay, including fights with wild animals like T-rexs and dragons that block Luffy and the gang during quests, information on Dark General Franky who looks just like Franky’s robot General Franky, and mini games that include “Thriller Bark Card Rush” and “Luffy’s Baratie Dinner.”

Shanks and Blackbeard appear!
“Red-Haired” Shanks, the catalyst for Luffy becoming a pirate, and “Blackbeard” Marshall D. Teech, who holds the power of the most atrocious Devil Fruit, Dark-Dark Fruit, join the game in opposition to the Straw Hat Pirates. The game allows fights between these popular characters that can’t be enjoyed elsewhere.

Shanks: He doesn’t just have sword skills; he fights using his ambition. Fight him by dodging his powerful attacks and hitting him with a crushing blow.

Blackbeard: He fights using abilities from both the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. The gap in defence between his powerful attacks is the time to strike.

The strongest pirate of the all, Whitebeard, also appears!
“Whitebeard” Edward Newgate, known as the strongest pirate in the world, also makes an appearance in the game. Take note of the showdown between him and the Straw Hat Pirates, a situation that wouldn’t happen anywhere else but in this game.

Whitebeard: His strong and admirable attacking abilities aren’t just for show. However, if you slip through his blind spot and attack, you’ll have a fighting chance.

A variety of pirate quests!
The game isn’t just comprised of the main story, there are also many excellent quests to undertake. These span a wide range, from gathering quests like bug catching and fishing to animal hunting quests against T-rexs and other wild animals. By clearing many quests, you can up your pirate rank and take on even tougher quests.

Except quests from Yadoya, an original character who appears in the game.

A variety of quests have been prepared. Players receive items as a reward for clearing quests. Also, by using Pirate Points that are accumulated from clearing quests, new quests can be unlocked. In monster hunting quests, players will face off against T-rexs, the most fearsome carnivores in history, and different types of dragons including ice and thunder. Use appropriate attacks and make use of your surroundings to best these wild beasts.

There are also quests that will pit players against the mysterious doppelganger to General Franky, Black General Franky. Defeat this enemy to receive extravagant rewards.

Avoid Black General Franky’s attacks while he is wielding a katana. When he averts his gaze, that is the time to strike.

Intriguing mini games abound!
In addition to quests, there are many mini games in which to earn Pirate Points. The two we’ve included here are “Thriller Bark Card Rush” and “Luffy’s Baratie Dinner.”

Pirate points earned depends on the score, so play these often and aim for the high score. Pirate Points earned here can also be used to unlock more quests.
