Favorites from Spy X Family, Kaiju No. 8, and more guest in this tactics gameThere were a bunch of third-party games shown in today's Nintendo Direct Mini Partner Showcase, but one in particular threw me at first glance. Captain Velvet Meteor: The Jump+ Dimensions is an upcoming tactical RPG that leans into guests from the Shonen Jump+ catalog.
The new tactics game from Momo-Pi Game Studio and Shueisha Games follows Damien, a boy who's just moved to Japan. Feeling lonely in his new home, he dives into his imagination as the superhero Captain Velvet Meteor.
Along the way, he imagines a roster of his favorite Jump+ characters filling his adventures. It's an interesting premise, emphasized by the presence of actual famous faces from the Shonen Jump+ lineup.

In today's showcase trailer, we caught a glimpse of Loid Forger, one of the main characters of popular manga and anime series Spy X Family. There's also Kafka Hibino from Kaiju No. 8 and several other characters. Here's a rundown of the famous faces:
Loid Forger (Spy X Family)
Hibino Kafka (Kaiju No. 8)
Gabimaru (Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku)
Kofune Ushio (Summer Time Rendering)
Chrome (Heart Gear)
Slime (Slime Life)
Princess ('Tis Time for "Torture," Princess)
Kai Iod and Chloe Love (Ghost Reaper Girl)

Damien's imagination, to play tactical battles. These will, according to the eShop description (https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/captain-velvet-meteor-the-jump-plus-dimensions-switch/), incorporate some puzzle and stealth elements. Plus team-up attacks, of course.
It's a novel idea that I'm surprised came together. While the pillars of Shonen Jump have had plenty of games about them (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-jump-force/), Jump+ is the newer kid on the block. But its online subscription model has been making waves, alongside the popularity of titles like Spy X Family. (YouTuber SuperEyepatchWolf has a great video on this sea change (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNptk8Q70QQ), if you're interested.)
These cameos, plus any promise of tactical RPG action, have me fairly interested in Captain Velvet Meteor. I am a bit bummed by the absence of Chainsaw Man though, even if his particular brand of action might be a little intense for this game's E for Everyone rating.
Captain Velvet Meteor: The Jump+ Dimensions hits Nintendo Switch on July 28, 2022.
