Eighting’s fighting game history over the last 30 years is vast and impressive. Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and its Ultimate follow-up are the obvious cornerstones, but the studio’s largely licensed resume also counts Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Fate/unlimited codes, and Bloody Roar among its genre highlights.
More recently, Eighting worked on Dungeon Fighter Online spin-off DNF Duel alongside Guilty Gear creator Arc System Works and supported Nintendo’s development of Pikmin 4.
Hunter x Hunter began life in 1998 as a manga written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi, the iconic artist also known for graciously bestowing Yu Yu Hakusho on the world. It’s since been recognized as one of the most popular manga series of all time, recently ranking 11th in a top 100 poll conducted by Japanese television station TV Asahi.
Despite frequent hiatuses due to Togashi’s chronic health issues, Hunter x Hunter is still published to this day and even enjoyed two fantastic (albeit incomplete) anime adaptations from 1999 to 2001 and then again from 2011 to 2014.
Early reactions to the news of a Hunter x Hunter fighting game developed by a studio as proficient in the genre as Eighting have been cautiously excited. While many see the raw potential of such a collaboration, more competitive-minded folks are wary of being burned if this turns out to be yet another mediocre arena fighter based on an anime property.

Given the vast number of fighting games and arena brawlers based on popular Shonen anime and manga, fans might assume that all the major franchises have seen English-language video game releases, but one major title that has been overlooked up until now could see its first localized game soon: . Shonen is perhaps the best-known category of manga and anime in the West, featuring over-the-top battles and heroic adventures.

Very few video game promotional products can actually make graphics better, but the official eyeglasses from Warby Parker can do just that. A tie-in between prescription glasses and a video game release is a different breed of cross-promotion from the norm, as fans usually see products aimed at children, like fast food restaurant toys or limited run cereals. This makes the Warby Parker collaboration stand out, since prescription eyeglasses are extremely practical, and can certainly do more to improve video game graphics than a new television.
