Jump! Ultimate Stars
Jump Ultimate is a Japan-only game (as it would be a licensing nightmare to release in the US), best described as Smash Bros, replacing Nintendo with Shonen Jump manga characters, but more team based. You form a team on a manga page, with each fighter, and support characters (think assist trophies in Brawl, only not random) taking up a certain number of "koma" (comic book panels). The basic version of each fighting character takes up at least 4 koma, support characters 2 or 3, and help koma (which add an ability to one fighter) 1. Fighters can be switched, and assist koma selected using the touch screen, pressing parts of your manga page with the stylus.

Gameplay is very much Smash Bros-like, except you have to tear the sides of the manga book by attacking it before you knock opponents off the sides of the stage, and characters have health bars rather than incremental damage. Game modes are timed (30, 60 or 90 seconds), Stock (all of your characters die) or coin collect.

The single player mode takes the form of missions in a themed universe of each manga series (which you will have to read a translation guide for or figure out what the Japanese means) for which you can unlock new stages and the help koma of characters, and some points, the points can be used to unlock bonus content or evolve your help koma to assist koma and some to new fighters, and then to more powerful versions of fighters (for example there is a version of Naruto Uzumaki for 4, 5, 6 and 7 koma (possibly 8), each increasing in power).

The game supports local single and multi card Wi-fi and the Nintendo WFC, and seems quite lag-free, even between the UK and Japan.

I don't even know most of the characters in the game and I find it fun as hell.

List of manga series in the game.
