GoNintendo and various other sources are reporting a new rumor that a new Dragonball Z video game for the Nintendo Wii is on its way very soon. Like, a couple months away from now soon!
Reportedly developed by Dimps and published by Bandai Namco, DragonBall Z: Spike is slated for an October 2010 release. That is, if the rumor is true. Sources claim an official announcement will be made at this month’s Gamescom event in Germany.
The only previous Wii-exclusive DragonBall game was Revenge of King Piccolo which hit stores in 2009. If this rumor is true, it will join Dragonball Z: Tenkaichi Tag Team for the PSP and DragonBall Raging Blast 2 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 for this Holiday season. That’s 3 games within the span of a couple months!
What do you think? Real or fake? And are you up for another Wii Dragonball game?
For anyone that is interested in checking out what IMDB Pro says for Dragonball 2 Reborn, I have summarized everything it reveals.
The Cast: Jamie Chung as Chi Chi (Rumored), Emmy Rossum as Bulma (rumored), James Marsters as Lord Piccolo (rumored), Justin Chatwin as Goku (rumored), Matt Mullins as Vegeta, Eriko Tamura as Mai (rumored), Shaobo Qin as Krillin, Bill Goldberg as Nappa, Hiro Super role is unknown (rumored).
Storyline: With Piccolo joining Goku’s side, the Earth becomes endangered by a evil Saiyan known as Raditz whose goal is to destroy Goku.
Taglines: The Legend is Reborn.
Release Date: 2011.
The “in development” status was last updated on 28 February 2010.
Well, here we are again relying on IMDB I suppose for information on the sequel to Dragonball Evolution. And according to them Matt Mullins (who was rumored to claim the role as Vegeta previously) is now listed as part of the cast for Dragonball Reborn. If ANY light is shed on this matter I will inform everyone. But for now, take this as a rumor.
Ok again this is coming from IMDB, but it appears that James Wong has been taken off the crew list for production of Dragonball 2 Reborn. He was listed as the director for this film under “In Development” not too long ago, but as of recently that is no more. The remaining main cast (such as Justin Chatwin and James Marsters) are still signed on, but again only according to IMDB. Could this mean they have found a new director to film the sequel to Dragonball Evolution? Or maybe they are just deleting one cast/crew member at a time as if they completely scratched the project. Only time will tell, but I can tell you this…
FOX has informed me the sequel is not planned for a theatrical release and could very well just end up as a direct to home video release only.
On a random note, if anyone has submitted any DB related news in the past few weeks I encourage you to resubmit that news. The contact form for that feature was not working correctly before but should be fine now.
Anyone remember that old DBZ animation short that came from the original “The Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans” (NES and Playdia) game? Well it will be featured in Raging Blast 2 and has now been confirmed to be in the US version as well by Namco Bandai. Not only will it return, but the animation itself will be a enhanced version of the original. A special preview will be available August 18th, so stay tuned.
New material from Dragonball Evolution just keeps rolling in, even over a year after the movie released. This time around we have obtained never before seen promo shots and movie stills during filming. Included in these new rare pieces are some shots from the cut Goku and Piccolo fight scene.
View all the new Dragonball Evolution pictures after the break! And stay tuned since there is more to come very soon.
UPDATE : IMDB Pro actually suggests Hiro Super will be an actor in the supposed sequel to Dragonball Evolution. More on this if we get any official confirmations.
Yes a lot of you were already aware of this, I just decided to make a post about it just in case if it turns out to be true. Anyways, according to IMDB Hiro Super has been signed on to be the new writer for the sequel to Dragonball Evolution, entitled Dragonball 2 Reborn. This is not 100% official yet, especially seeing how the only source is IMDB.
Also I am getting e-mails from you guys saying 20th Century FOX will announce and/or promote the Dragonball movie sequel this fall during the New York Comic Con. Now, I would appreciate it if you provided any kind of proof to back these claims up. Do so in the comments.
Stay tuned to DB Legends as a sequel may in fact happen after all.
We all know James Wong said a sequel may not happen if the Dragonball film bombs domestically. And we also all heard James Marsters saying a sequel has been green lit on several occasions. But since early 2009, we have yet to hear any official confirmations on whether or not a Dragonball sequel (Dragonball Reborn) will indeed occur. Since then it has been nothing but speculation and rumors. I expected to hear something from 20th Century FOX on the one year anniversary of the movie, even it was just a statement saying the planned Dragonball movie trilogy is no more. Maybe it is just one of those cases where they want to forget it ever happened and move on, with some hope another studio will pick it back up later and reboot it.
So, consider the Dragonball sequel trashed and just get back to watching the anime (Dragon Ball Z Kai). If we do hear anything, we will try and report it, but I would not get my hopes up. Asides from all that, discuss in the comments on whether you would like to see a sequel, a reboot or that Hollywood should just leave the Dragon Ball franchise alone.
DBZ Kai season one (part two) is now available for pre-order via Amazon. Although this current season is airing on TV, it has not released on home video yet. Look forward to it very soon though. Visit our Dragonball Z Kai page for more information on the show.
The website known as Ginga Giri Giri (originally Vegeta Insane!!!) has returned online (as 3Gkai). This site has been known for really good DBZ AMVs in the past. And soon after 3GKai relaunched, they released a well done AMV dedicated to Dragonball Evolution. This music video basically compares the anime to the live action film and if I do say so myself, makes it seem like the film was very accurate to the anime. Watch it yourself below.
Ok, before we get any kind of confirmation from 20th Century FOX themselves stating that filming for this sequel has begun, take this with a very small grain of salt. Anyways reports from various Mexican Dragon Ball blogs are suggesting that filming either has begun or is about to begin for Dragonball Reborn. Here is that report.
From 01.06 on Tuesday began filming in the city of Durango, Mexico, filming for the next movie Dragon Ball, DB reborn which would be the continuation of Dragon Ball Evolution. This has caused cuts in the streets and remodeling in several places in the town. Many viewers have come to watch the recordings. This film is dated mid-2011.
Well will update everyone once we receive any kind of information ourselves on this.
Namco Bandai has officially announced the sequel to Dragon Ball Raging Blast.
Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 is the sequel to last year’s high-flying, fast-hitting, and intense versus battles series. Dragon Ball Z fans can rest assured that the destructible environment, and character trademark attacks and transformations will be true to the series. These include signature Pursuit Attacks which enable players to initiate attack combo strings, juggling your opponent in a string of devastating strikes throughout the environment. Additionally, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 will sport the new Raging Soul System which enables characters to reach a special state, increasing their combat abilities to the ultimate level. Sporting more than 90 characters, 20 of which are brand new to the Raging Blast series, new modes, and additional environmental effects, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 is the next evolution in the home console series.
