J-Stars Victory Vs+ is a shallow masher, but it’s fanservice done right
Damn if it doesn’t feel good to beat up Naruto as Goku It doesn’t take an otaku to see the appeal ofJ-Stars Victory Vs+. It features a host of famous anime characters, from Kenshin to Goku to Naruto. It’s like theMarvel vs. CapcomofShōnen Jumpproperties, a magazine that’s been going strong since the 1960s. After actually playing the game, I didn’t come away particularly impressed with its fighting mechanics, but I can’t resist the sheer fun factor of slicing and blasting away with some of my favorite characters....
