    Cult Classic JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Gets HD Treatment

    Ora vs. Muda: the eternal struggle

    What kind of bizarre (nyo ho!) world am I living in that I get to blabber about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure twice in the span of a week? Last week's announcement of All-Star Battle made my pants slightly tighter, and a few days later the deal has been sealed with the announcement of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure HD Ver. 

    Let's be honest here, the "HD" is just a smoothing filter processed over the original pixels, but ask me if I give a fuck. Go ahead, ask. NOPE. I don't, I'm just ecstatic to be able to play this brilliant fighting game again with a slew of new features including:

    • "HD" graphics with the option of playing in the original SD glory
    • Online matchmaking: choose opponents based on location, skill, connection speed, etc.
    • Battle Point and Player Point fueled leaderboards
    • Eight player online lobby, spectator mode included
    • Save and share match replays

    If that's not enough to get you excited, then you clearly never played the game the first go 'round, which was way ahead of its time in just about all respects. And if you haven't, this is a great time to play a ground breaking classic. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure HD Ver. releases for XBLA and PSN on August 21 at the very Capcom price of $20.
