Why there's still no JoJo BA game on PC?
I remember many years ago when japanese games as a whole were very rare on PC and you could not find absolutely no anime/manga game, they were like console exclusives. Today every anime and manga game I can think of is available on PC too except Jojo Bizarre adventures which is the only one I like. After the anime series that started in 2012 it got rather popular so I think it would be popular enough on PC to justify a release. Did Sony paid for the exclusive? If so I really couldn't understand why since it is anyway the less popular one (things like One Piece or Dragon Ball sell a lot more for sure)... Whatever is the reason I can't understand it. I think it is popular enough to sell well on PC but at the same time I don't think it is popular enough to want it as an exclusive for a console...
Is there hope for some Jojo games on PC in the future? What do you guys think about it?

I think that this is not a Steam discussion.

Ask the publisher of the game if theyre interested. Or get started with Unity and create a spiritual successor.

Blame Bandai Namco. They're the ones that never ported Eyes of Heaven.

And while they are on it they could port Girls und Panzer Dream Match.

On the reason why a less popular thing could be eclusive while a more popular one isn't the reason why is usually the exact same reason you think it would be a worse choice. More popular names bring in more money yes but they cost a lot more to get exlusivity on because the people that own them know they can make so much more.

As for your specific example you have to realise in Japan PC gaming is a niche market and they just don't bother making ports for it (and on the occasions they do they are rarely well made). Consoles and handhelds are the kings there and Playstation and Nintendo get preferred treatment over there for games being made for them because they are Japanese companies and they have a big market without having to worry about adapting things for international markets.

If you are reaallllly desperate for a game, there is an emulator called FightCade. It can run TONS of fighting games (arcade) and JJBA Heritage Fight for The Future, is a game where you can either fight other people or bots. There should be a video or steam discussion on Steam.

I wish there was a port for Eye's Of Heaven tbh, I would love to go on their forums and talk about it and hope Capcom would do it but they prob wouldn't do it, I hope they do end up doing it though
the Steam Platform can not handle the raw pounding growing power that is JOJO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most likely the license?. I'm pretty sure Bandai would love to bring them to PC but whoever has the license denying it.

I think it's same for Kingdom Hearts. Even if Square Enix wanted to port to PC they can't unless Disney gives them the permission.

I might be wrong.

Capcom won't do it because it is not a Capcom game.
I wuld like JoJo All Star Battle if only they improved a lot the arcade mode. The gameplay in All Star Battle was more fun and satisfying, but every game mode was messed up for various reasons.
Main campaign in Eyes of Heaven is much better but the gameplay itself is quite boring...

I hope you are right and it will be available on Steam :)
I mean I would be fine with GoG too but I'm sure it will not be released on GoG.

If they could just port the original arcade game or make a new one with similar style, it would be an instant buy.

JoJo on PS3/PS4 focuses more on fanservice than the actual game, especially Eyes Of Heaven.


Or if we could get the team behind Yakuza games to make a JoJo game, then I'd buy every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ version of it.

imagine way deep in the internet there was a japanese only version of all star battle or hftf that were made specifically for the pc. i just really hope i end up bumping into one or someone finds one :(

Fanservice is ok for me, if I buy a tie in game I expect mostly fanservice, as long as the game is decent enough it's fine for me.
My problems with Eyes of heaven are two:
1) its genre. A mix between action and fighting like that is too generic and it is less interesting than both true fighting games and true action games. Also I don't like being forced to use two different characters. I want a more straightforward gameplay, if they want to put an additional mode with team fighting, fine, but it should not be the only option imo. I don't like to control a team very much. I always feel that it makes the gameplay more shallow and boring.
2) "poor" graphics (compared to All stars battle). Because the genre is different, stages are bigger and more complex (no fixed camera, you can go wherever you want and so on) and in Japan this game was released on PS3 too, which means that graphics had to be on par with the PS3 capabilities, and because of that (and maybe for gameplay reasons too, to make the action on screen easier to follow) graphics were definitely dumbed down and less rich (and less exciting of course) than the previous game.

My problem with All stars battle is only one: every game mode sucked. Arcade mode was horribly rushed, Story mode was awful and made the plot of every part after part 2 seem boring and stupid, and there were even errors (that game said that Jotaro discovered that there was a killer in Morioh because telling about when Rohan and Koichi met Reimi would have been too much text... :/ ), and the only mode that could have been satisfying enough was ruined because it forced you to be online for no real reason (you never actually played against other real people).
Oh and I didn't like too much all the very important and iconic characters that had to be bought as dlcs....
But honestly I think that this game had a very high potential.
With a polished arcade mode (with at least a satisfying ending for each character) and every character available without the need of dlcs would be a masterpiece imo.
