If you still aren't satisfied with the amount of scans we have for Marvelous Interactive's Hitman Reborn! Dream Hyper Battle, then we aim to please as we deliver you another scan from Shonen Jump.

This particular scan shows off two new characters from the manga adapted fighting game. If you've been following the Reborn! manga the game was based on, you'll be familiar with the different characters the game takes its roster from.

Since the Nintendo Wii seems such a popular platform for anime/manga-based fighting games, you can expect no less from Hitman Reborn! when it comes down to capturing the spirit of the series.

Sadly, we won't be seeing an English translated version for the game any time soon as Hitman Reborn! is still a Japan-exclusive title. However, you can always import the game if you really want to get a chance to fight it out with those underhanded Mafiosos and assassins.

The game is expected to hit stores in Japan by the end of the year.
