It was additionally released as One Piece Unlimited Cruise: Double Pack in Germany on June 25, 2010, which contains both of the European games within separate boxes. Another version of the game was also released on the Nintendo 3DS with the name One Piece Unlimited Cruise: SP ( ワンピース:アンリミテッドクルーズ Wan Pīsu: Anrimiteddo Kurūzu Speciaru) which was released on May 26, 2011.

Unlike the predecessor, One Piece: Unlimited Adventure, One Piece: Unlimited Cruise was localised by only in PAL regions and the PAL versions only have Japanese voices with English subtitles instead of the FUNimation dub.

Main Playable Characters
The playable characters of the game includes the same main characters from One Piece: Unlimited Adventure, with the new addition of Brook:


 * Monkey D. Luffy
 * Roronoa Zoro
 * Nami
 * Usopp
 * Sanji
 * Tony Tony Chopper
 * Nico Robin
 * Franky
 * Brook

Costume Themes
Much like in One Piece: Unlimited Adventure, all of the main characters get new costumes (though where the costumes came from isn't mentioned) and each costume has an animal based theme. Early screenshots of Brook showed him dressed in his normal clothes, but he was later revealed to have his own animal themed costume. Later scans also revealed that Zoro's costume included his new katana Shusui. After beating the game once, the player can switch all of the characters costumes from the animal themed to the clothes they normally wear (clothing from Thriller Bark Arc) and their attack style.

Other Information
Brook now has the ability to run on water, much like in the anime and manga, Franky can build bridges and ladders (Acting in a way similiar to the points where Gaburi is used), and Usopp can only become Sogeking through his C + Shake attack (Where in Unlimited Adventure, it was an alternate costume) and can use the Impact Dial. Nami also can use her Waver. The main characters movesets have also been upgraded from Unlimited adventure so they can now utilize moves from recent chapters from the manga, as well as old moves that weren't included in Unlimited Adventure.

Characters
According to the information released by Famitsu, the Marines and The Enforcers will make an appearance. Wapol, Buggy the Clown, Captain Kuro, Don Krieg, Arlong, and Enel have all been confirmed as Bosses in the game. Buggy appear's in a plant-developed environment, and Enel appears to be in a clearing in a forest with the Spaceys. Buggy will be able to use his powers obtained from the Bara Bara No Mi and his Buggy Ball, Wapol will be able to transform using his Baku Baku Factory. Spandam and Aokiji, Shanks and Mihawk, and Kaku and Lucci will be partnered up as dual bosses.

Locations
There are five different islands in Episode 1; A winter island, a desert island with a seashell, an island with a giant tree and waterfalls under it, and a island that is essentially a giant cave. The final island is where you fight the final boss. The Thousand Sunny can be explored, showing many of the rooms inside of it. In the Tankōbon version of One Piece manga, Oda drew a detailed interior design for Thousand Sunny including each piece of furniture and passage ways. From the current preview it seems Unlimited Cruise kept Oda's design down to exact detail down to the patterns on the walls and furniture.

In Episode 2, there are five locations(not including Thousand Sunny) : a desert location that looks like Alabasta, and a dark, murky, ruinous place that looks reminiscent of Thriller Bark. The Thousand Sunny is a stage, however, it is not an island. There is also an Island that looks similar to the "Seaside Zone" of Unlimited Adventure, but lightly edited, and based on the island in the Ocean's Dream arc. There is a location that is a floating island that resembles the island Skypiea. The final island is where to fight the Doom Guardian, it also looks nearly identical to how it looked in Episode 1.

In One Piece: Unlimited Cruise SP for 3DS, a Marineford Mode will be included, in which the player can play during the Whitebeard War as Luffy, Ace, and the other protagonists during the war.

Trivia

 * Although the word "Cola" is clearly spoken, in the European version of the opening scene when Usopp activates Channel 0, the subtitle text reads that it is "Soda Powered." The reason for this change is unknown.
 * Because he had yet to fight in the series when the game was made, Whitebeard fights with his tubes attached in this game while in the series he fights without them. The opposite goes for his Devil Fruit; Whitebeard's Gura Gura no Mi at the time Episode 2 was released was not known, and so all of his attacks utilize his bisento weapon, accompanied by yellow/white waves of power. It seems, although, that the 3DS version added Gura Gura no Mi powers to Whitebeard's movelist.
 * In the game's profile section there is a mistranslation on Garp's page where it says that he was a legendary pirate (as opposed to a Marine).
 * For unknown reasons, Shanks uses his old sword as opposed to his current.
