Last month, I posted some information along with some trailer from the forthcoming Wii exclusive One Piece Unlimited Adventure from NAMCO BANDAI. Today, they have sent us not one, but five new trailers featuring the Straw Hat Pirates as they embark on their latest, mad-capped adventures.

Luffy and the rest as you swing, slash and twist the Wii remote and Nunchuck with the goal of trouncing the enemies who lurk on the strange magical island you have been deserted on. Command more characters than ever as you take control with one of eight Straw Hat Pirates in Adventure Mode, then push your skills to the limit with Survival Mode or battle against friends in Versus Mode to unlock 40 new characters, special moves and items.

One Piece Unlimited Adventure is slated for release during the first part of 2008. So until that day comes, watch the new videos, check back with us often and look over our previous posts. You can also browse through the screenshots we have of the game here.

Coming to the Wii in the first part of 2008 is One Piece: Unlimited Adventure, where the motley Straw Hat Pirates find themselves stranded in a mysterious land after a massive island rises to the ocean surface from underneath their pirate ship. Players must assume the role of their favorite One Piece persona and explore this newly formed terrain to uncover the secrets and powers that lie within this isle.

With the Wii remote and Nunchuck controller, players will pull, turn and swing to battle nefarious villains using each character’s own unique set of moves including Luffy’s “Gum Gum Storm” and Nami’s “Cyclone Tempo”.

Mode to unlock more than 40 additional playable swashbucklers. Find a bountiful booty of items, unlock special moves and costumes all in the name of acquiring the ultimate treasure.

The trailers up for grabs are ‘Battle #2′, ‘Boss’, ‘Survival’, and ‘VS’. Click on the provided links to check them out - and on a side note, does anyone else find Chopper a bit strange? Maybe it is just me, but that little guy has always creeped me out, especially when he turns from a cute little fawn into that big, buff, butt-kicking stag.
