This special “Super Battle Stage” premiered back in March 2010 in the Greenland Amusement Park in Arao City, Japan. The show was 30 minutes long that featured actors wearing costumes designed to their characters with pre recorded voices, and also featured background music from DB Kai itself. You can check out the entire Super Battle Stage Show below!
GameTrailers posted two new videos today for Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 featuring a battle between Pikkon and Frieza. The footage was filmed at GamesCom 2010 in Germany and is off-screen for that reason. Watch the two-part gameplay video below.
Actually this only applies for the release of the Raging Blast 2 video game. According to FUNimation, the US release of the enhanced version of the Dragon Ball: Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans OVA will not be dubbed in English and will just be provided with English subtitles over the original Japanese voice acting.
The portion of the Eradicate the Super Saiyans OVA on the Namco Bandai Raging Blast 2 game – not ours, Toei’s in Japanese w/Eng sub.
However, they also suggested that they could license this OVA in the future to be dubbed by FUNimation’s English voice actors.
We have not licensed it and it is not in production at FUNi HQ. That’s not to say we aren’t going to OR that we are. Shoot. What OVA?
A brand new trailer for Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 has released at the GamesCom 2010 convention going on right now in Germany. In addition to some new character reveals and of course new gameplay, footage from the enhanced OVA “Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans” (which will be included as a bonus feature in the game) is near the end of the video. Watch it below and grab Raging Blast 2 when it blasts into stores (horrible pun I know) on November 2nd, 2010 for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

A new trailer for DragonBall Z: Tenkaichi Tag Team for the PSP launched on PSN recently. Check it out below.
Also, a playable demo for the game will be available starting August 26th on the Japanese Playstation Network service. The demo will include six characters – Goku, Vegeta, Android 20, Android 19, Piccolo, and Krillen. Because the PSP is region-free, PSP owners in America will likely be able to download the demo as well if they have (or create) a Japanese PSN account. No promises though.
DragonBall Z: Tenkaichi Tag Team for the Sony PSP is a 2 vs. 2 tag-team fighter. It features 70 playable and customizable characters and various single- and multi-player modes that allow players to enjoy key missions from the anime series. The game hits stores in Japan on September 30th and in North America on October 19th of this year.
Dragon Ball Z Kai made its premiere yesterday morning on the CW 4 Kids. I myself didn’t get a chance to watch it, but I heard it was edited even worse than what Nicktoons did to the new DBZ series. Either way, if you don’t have Nicktoons and can’t afford to buy the DVD’s or Blu-Ray’s of DBZ Kai, then this is yet another chance for you to check it out. A new episode will air every Saturday morning at 10:00 am (Pacific Time I believe). To check out where this station airs near you, visit http://www.cwtv.com/stations.
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?
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.
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.
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.
The new opening for DB Kai is now being shown with the new episodes in Japan. This time, the second portion of the intro reveals the Android saga in new animation.
