Tiger & Bunny On Air Jack

TIGER & BUNNY On Air Jack! is a PlayStation Portable action game released in Japan on September 20, 2012. Based on Sunrise's 2011 superhero television anime, it places the player in the role of Kotetsu T. Kaburagi, better known as Wild Tiger. Natsume is credited as the developer in the game record, while Bandai Namco Games published this PSP release. It was the franchise's first home-console game, arriving just before the Japanese opening of the film TIGER & BUNNY -The Beginning. Its Japanese title, TIGER & BUNNY On Air Jack!, presents the series' sponsored-superhero premise as a game built around both public safety and televised spectacle.

The campaign follows the TV anime's storyline in Stern Bild, the futuristic city where people with special abilities known as NEXT work as costumed heroes. Wild Tiger is paired with the younger Barnaby Brooks Jr., and the two tackle incidents under the watch of the fictional Hero TV program. Rather than treating every encounter as a simple fight, the game makes the broadcast part of the objective: a hero is expected to resolve a crisis while winning over viewers. The broader goal is to raise Wild Tiger's standing and pursue the title of King of Heroes, reflecting the competitive ranking system at the center of the source material.

Stages are selected from incident locations on a city map, with Wild Tiger's hero rank influencing how events appear. In the action sections, he moves freely around compact three-dimensional environments to arrest every culprit or rescue civilians before the five-minute limit expires. Wild Tiger can chain attacks, use his wire to pull in enemies, and lift or throw objects. The same scenery can help solve a mission or become a liability: excessive destruction increases the compensation bill. That tension gives each callout a practical choice between a swift, careful resolution and a more attention-grabbing approach.

Hero TV turns performance into a second layer of play. Capturing criminals improves ratings and earns hero points, but designated appeal spots let Wild Tiger face the cameras and show off his sponsor logo for an added ratings boost. Time spent seeking those moments is time not spent completing the emergency, so the player balances efficiency against a stronger on-air performance. Agnes's dispatches, Mario's broadcast commentary, and anime-style presentation reinforce the idea that each mission is being staged for an audience instead of unfolding in private.

Outside combat, fully voiced private scenes follow the anime's characters as they discuss daily life and rumors of new trouble. Talking with fellow heroes develops a bond level; stronger relationships alter exchanges and can bring assistance during battles. Barnaby serves as Wild Tiger's central partner, while other heroes from the series can join the action. This combination of conversation scenes, rank-based progress, timed rescues, partner support, and ratings management distinguishes On Air Jack! from a conventional anime brawler. It is a Japanese-only PSP adaptation that aims to let players experience the series' unusual mix of crime fighting, teamwork, corporate image, and live television competition.
