Within the fall of 2019, Bandai Namco launched Leap Pressure, a crossover preventing sport bringing collectively the entire hottest characters which have ever been seralized in Shonen Leap. They had been all there: Goku, Luffy, Naruto, Yusuke from Yu Yu Hakusho, and a bunch of different characters from collection like Dragon Ball, Naruto, Bleach, Hunter x Hunter, Black Clover and Rurouni Kenshin.
Now overlook all that as a result of it’s getting buried. Namco introduced at present the servers for on-line play in Leap Pressure will probably be shut down this coming February. And despite the fact that it’s potential to play the sport offline, they’re slicing their losses and pulling the ENTIRE THING from digital storefronts. (You probably have beforehand bought Leap Pressure, the sport will nonetheless be playable — this isn’t a PT scenario.)
Leap Pressure was uncommon for a preventing sport in that you just managed three characters without delay by switching between them. It was vital that you just do that as a result of matches labored on “rock-paper-scizzors” guidelines — your man may be weak in opposition to one other man, however one other character may be stronger. Due to this, it was unattainable to “primary” one character or win on pure talent alone.
The query is, will or not it’s missed? Apparently not. Reactions to the announcement on social media have ranged from indifference to posting a meme mocking the sport. The most typical criticism is that Leap Pressure was irritating and / or uninteresting to play, and that they’d have most popular a “actual” fighter that didn’t depend on rock-paper-scizzors mechanics.
It’s price noting, although, that this isn’t the primary preventing sport that brings collectively the Shonen Leap universe. Leap Superstars, a 2-D platform fighter for the DS, was quite a bit nearer to what followers had been hoping Leap Pressure can be like…and because it was launched bodily, you may nonetheless get a replica, offered you continue to have the DS to play it on.
