Here are some videos and screen caps from the World Hobby Fair in Japan. This is the first time we have seen Jump Super Stars in action. While not the most exciting video, it demos how to play and how to switch characters. Yup, it looks like a crazy manga version of Smash Bros. to me.
Check out the Homeland and Starfox videos too. Im not sure if Homeland will ever make it over to the US, but it looks cool. It has an Animal Crossing feel to it and you are supposed to be able to set up your own server and people can join your game online.

That game looks like it could be fun. I like the art style and colors they used. Has an US release been confirmed? The text on the bottom screen might be kind of hard to port to english…since english is read left to right and japanese is read up and down. Meh i guess we will see…
That vid could really use some sound effects.

Actually it shouldn’t be too hard. Manga is commonly released in the US with virtually no alterations to the layout. Since both the Shonen Jump characters and magazine have been brought to the US, I think a stateside release is a good possibility.
