Jump Force Deluxe Edition arrives on Nintendo Switch Aug. 28

Watching anime and playing video games are two of the most enjoyable hobbies there is, allowing most of us to take a break from the unbearable rigors of the months-long quarantine. But what if you can combine both and be able to play at home or on the go?

The guys at Bandai Namco revealed that Jump Force Deluxe Edition will finally arrive on Nintendo Switch on August 28. The game was earlier released for Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC in February 2019.

This special ‘Deluxe Edition’ will feature hugely popular characters, including all previously released DLC characters from the Season 1 Characters Pass. Choose from an expansive roster composed of more than 50 playable characters from 16 Weekly Shonen Jump franchises.

You can also opt to create your own character and join the Jump Force, an alliance of the most powerful manga heroes from Dragon Ball, Bleach, One Piece, Naruto and so much more.

Take your favorite fighter to the battlefield, wherever and whenever. Or play against friends and rivals through both offline and online battles. Exclusive to the Nintendo Switch version is a new offline 3 vs. 3 battle mode, allowing six friends to each control a character and battle it out either in the ‘real’ or anime world.

In this mode, each player controls a character on their team of three and will enter the fight when their character is tagged into the battle. Key to winning the fight will be strategic thinking and knowing when to tag players in and out of the battle.

The Jump Force Deluxe Edition for Nintendo Switch is listed on Amazon for $49.99 (P2,425.71). Those who will pre-order on the site will get freebies like a Lobby vehicle, three exclusive avatar costumes, and the Jump Starter Pack.
