Jojo is old enough to have a game on the original Playstation?

[André Toulon]

I've been playing this for the last 2-3 hours....It's far more lulzy than the show but It has a lot of variety.  I thought it was just a fighter, but there are side scrolling shooter stages, reaction time stages, and fps maps........Really reminds me how games used to be fun and not a chore

Jojo started in the 80s.

It's still going.

It's old enough to have Famicom games. But I did buy the original PS1 fighting game a while ago. It's pretty fun, but I have been far too privileged with fighting games that use the joystick instead of the D-Pad.

The games easy enough and playing as both versions of Joseph, Polnareff and Mariah was great, but the side scrolling mini games and QTEs were a pain with the D-Pad, especially the Steely Dan stage.

All Star Battle was also a fun but slow fighting game. Haven't played the PS4 one, but the demo wasn't as good with the messiness of arena fighters.

The PS4 one is an arena fighting game like Anarchy Reigns or the Shounen Jump fighting game. It's a little messier than the Naruto Ninja Storm games since there's more platforms, but has a ton of characters so it has the added benefit of an awesome roster with the characters that didn't make it in the PS3 one.

I played the PS3 one for a year or so before I got tired of it, but I appreciate how far we've come to be able to play as both Josukes, Mista, Jolyne, Hermes, Giorno, Fugo, Bruno, Okuyasu, and Lisa Lisa. The fanservice is also a lot of fun with how many motifs from the manga they kept in the special moves, poses, and dialogue.

I didn't know this was based on anime back when I played it.

Lupin.

He was a manga back in the 60's first.

The first arc of JoJo was made in 1987, so Lupin's definitely older.
