One Piece: Burning Blood is due out this summer here in the West, but over in Japan, the game's out in a week's time. As such, Bandai Namco's been bombarding its Japanese YouTube channel with various gameplay videos and trailers, and today, it's uploaded some relatively rare PS Vita footage.
As we already know, the brawler looks great on PlayStation 4 - it's got an ace amount of detail and the source material's art style has been faithfully recreated - but how does the title fare on Sony's handheld? Well, judging from these gameplay clips, it certainly doesn't look too shabby. Sure, the aforementioned details have been toned down a bit, and the environments aren't as defined, but we reckon that it looks solid on the diminutive device.
Will you be grabbing Burning Blood for your handheld, or will you be fighting on the big screen? Laugh like a fool pirate in the comments section below.

Well we can't buy a PSVita in the Netherlands anymore...
Looking pretty good, Namco are usually good at the ports, will be getting on PS4, but may have to purchase a handheld version aswell!
I'll probably just stick with the PS4 or Xbone version if I decide to get this.
@Flaming_Kaiser You have internet tho.

A friend of mine told me this earlier today, but Sony hasn't acknowledged it apparently. They can state whatever they like, but it's been hard to buy one for well over a year already, not just in the Netherlands; if you look at all the sales at big retailers in Western Europe to clear their Vita stock you can tell the Vita is being phased out.
Some big retailers in Holland have been practically giving away Vita games, the few they had in stock that is, and about a year or more ago you could buy the newer model Vitas for about €100 in Germany. I actually bought quite a few back then, for friends and one backup model for myself, but it did make me quite sad to see Amazon f.e. selling off these Action Packs for €100 which are easily worth double.
I don't think we'll even see OP: Burning Blood on the Vita in the west, we didn't get the One Piece Musou games either on the Vita. Such a shame Sony is letting the Vita die, it's the best handheld I've ever owned. And what even saddens me more is that I'll never see the Vita 2 I so desperately hoped for; a Vita with more horsepower, new OLED screens and 2 triggers. Ah well, maybe Nintendo will finally surprise us with a handheld that doesn't make me want to cut my hands off after playing for 15 minutes.
I got into one piece after one piece pirate warriors and its awesome. The art style is very cartoony but some of the underlying law and collaborations are really interesting. I'm unsure on these type of fighters though - I own saint seina and its pretty crap.
@Boerewors What are you on about? We got one piece Pirate Warriors 3 on the Vita last tear and this has been confirmed for the Vita in the West, both of them are in physical form.
@stocko
Easy there tiger! I must have missed it because of the earlier mentioned problems with stock in the countries where I live or which I visit. I remember we didn't get part 2 so I never checked if part 3 was avaliable online. But I'm sure there wasn't a localized version in any of the game shops I visited, cause then I would've bought it. I'll go online now and check if it's available for a decent price.
Another great game coming to my vita. The vita has a few years left in it yet.
i'm getting it on PS4 first but i will be picking up the Vita version at a later date
