JoJo's Venture

JoJo's Venture is a fighting game based on the manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Hirohiko Araki's much-influential, now largest-running Shueisha publication ridden with pop culture references, posture-deteriorating poses, and eye-catching action. It's not based on the manga overall though, only its third arc "Stardust Crusaders", due to the fact that it was the most popular arc.

This game was rushed, which is no surprise why it's now mostly overshadowed by its re-release.

Regional Differences#

Japan	International

The Japanese version has multiple second player join-in messages depending on whether the active character is a hero, villain, or Midler. For heroes, the text essentially reads "A new stand user, huh!" (arate no sutando tsukai ka!). The text for villains (nanimono da!?) and for Midler (nanimono!?) are basically the same and both read "Who are you!?". International versions only have Capcom's standard "Here Comes a New Challenger" text for all characters.
