Would be amazing if this was released in Europe.
The DBZ and Naruto games warrent enough sales for countless games each year, so I can't see why One Piece can't do the same.
Just a shame it's not multiformat. This is why the Bleach game didn't do all that well. Don't limit your audience. Many 360 owners are anime fans.

Well, because it doesn't have DBZ/Naruto sales numbers, pretty much. One Piece games don't do that well in the US since the show itself isn't as big as those other two in the US. Europe it does well enough, though, which is way Europe tends to get some Europe-only One Piece games. I think they also acquired the 3DS game a few days ago. OP is more known in Europe than in the US.

No one in Japan is, though, which is why the 360 gets the shaft when it comes to anime games. Maybe a port like the Ninja Storm games if it's lucky, but otherwise, it'll stick to the Japanese consoles mostly.

Only real catering example I know of is the US-developed Naruto stuff for the 360 since Naruto is huge enough in the US to warrant that (well, alright it was Ubisoft Montreal which is French, but you know)
