Jump Ultimate Stars

A promotional flyer for Jump Ultimate Stars has started going out to distributors in Japan. We received a ream of them yesterday. NCS has scanned a flyer which may be viewed here.

Some facts about Jump Ultimate Stars
» Over 300 characters from 40 Shonen Jump manga series, which is 13 more series than Jump Super Stars.
» New A.I. data system and Wi-Fi functionality.
» Even more tactical maneuvers and moves for every fighter
» Jump Super Stars has sold over 500,000 copies since it was released in August 2005.

Early preorders for Jump Ultimate Stars will include a bonus wrist strap which is tethered to a thumb-pointer. Functionality-wise, the thumb-pointer may be used as a sort of stylized stylus in lieu of an actual touch pen.
NCS started preorders last month and all reservations will ship on November 21, 2006. Pricing remains at US$45.90.
