How well would Inuyasha fare in a fight against Project Arms' Ryo Takatsuki? Will Samurai Deeper Kyo be able to handle GetBackers' Ban Mido? Who's more of a punk, Air Gear's Ikki or Cromartie High School's Shinichi? You'll be able to find out in a brand new manga mash-up fighter, reminiscent of DS's
Jump Ultimate Stars. Konami's fighter, called
Sunday x Magazine: Taisen Action, brings characters from two different Shonen anthologies: Shonen Sunday and Weekly Shonen.
Considering the wide variety of licenses required for a project like this, it's unlikely this game will ever see a stateside release. You can check
Siliconera for a full listing of characters.

An InuYasha Open World game on the PS3 with gorgeous cel-shaded graphics similar to "Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm" would be great.. I'm a fan of this anime in particular. PLEASE SUPPORT CEL SHADING!

Ah, so the two lesser shounen magazines get lumped together in the shadow of Shounen Jump?

Actually sounds pretty awesome.
It'll probably bomb, but it still looks good. I mean, does America really have an audience for this?

If it has Ikki from "Air Gear" in it, I'm sold.

Ditto. I hope they have Spitfire or Simca in it also.
Also, its awesome that Kenichi is in it. That was an awesome show.

If this game turns out to be cool it might be a cool import game. But if I am really lucky it will come out of Japan. But I do not think I will be that lucky.
