Bleach: Versus Crusade

Bleach: Versus Crusade is for the Nintendo Wii and it will be released in Japan on December 18, 2008. Scans depict a roster of characters in line with the manga storyline, featuring Neliel, Nnoitra, Ichigo with his hollow mask and Grimmjow's released form to name but a few. The gameplay appears to have been changed substantially, showing a split-screen during multi-player fights. It is a one-on-one fighter, but players pick a partner character for various team-up attacks and other maneuvers as well as being able to switch between them. It will support Wi-Fi play and can be played with the Classic controller or Gamecube controller in place of the Wii-Remote and nunchuk. Unlike other installments before this, it is being developed by Treasure Co. Ltd.

So far, only Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Grimmjow Jeagerjaques, Ulquiorra Schiffer, Neliel Tu Oderschvank, Nnoitra Jiruga, and Shūsuke Amagai have been confirmed. However, Tōshirō Hitsugaya and Rangiku Matsumoto have also been shown in screenshots.
