JoJo’s Venture

JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken was originally released in the arcade in 1998 on the CPS-3 arcade system; this version was known outside Japan as JoJo’s Venture.

The game combines Capcom’s trademark anime-inspired graphics, as seen in the Darkstalkers series, with the colorful characters and events of Hirohiko Araki’s creation, resulting in a highly stylized and detailed visual style. It also features many of the gameplay mechanics seen on previous Capcom fighting games, such as the use of power gauges for super moves, as well as a brand new Stand Mode, consisting of the series’ signature guardian spirits that accompanies almost every character and can be summoned or dismissed at will by the player, resulting in variations in the character’s move list and abilities.
