New details have emerged regarding the upcoming Nintendo DS fighting game “DragonBall Kai: Ultimate Butoden.” For starters, the official website has been updated with new screenshots and information. The website reveals the game takes advantage of the built-in Nintendo DS microphone which allows players to launch special attacks by saying the attack names out loud. For example, if you’re playing as Goku and yell “Kame Hame Ha,” you’ll blast the iconic beam at the enemy. If that sounds too silly for you, players can opt out of this unusual control scheme and instead use the touch screen or buttons to activate special moves.

Also revealed on the website is auto-blocking. When players are standing still, weak attacks will be automatically blocked. And if players are moving towards the opponent, energy blasts will be automatically blocked. Finally, the website hints at a special Ki system on the bottom screen which appears to let players choose how much Ki they want. There might be some benefit to having less Ki in a battle, but it’s not clear what benefit that would be.

Last but not least, a new scan from V-Jump magazine is available. Along with new screen shots, it reiterates the information we just discussed above.

DragonBall Kai: Ultimate Butoden releases in Japan on February 3rd, 2011. On an unrelated note, we hope you’re enjoying our new and improved website layout! It’s still in the beta stage (the content slider at the top doesn’t work just yet and the comment section needs improvement) but we trust you’ll agree it’s much better than the old one! A lot of work went into it. Stay tuned for more.

Namco Bandai has opened the official website for the recently revealed Nintendo DS fighting game DragonBall Kai: Ultimate Butôden. So far there’s only a few screen shots featured on the website (as seen below) but it’s interesting to note that based on the front page’s character stills the game will cover the entire DragonBall Z storyline up until the end of the Majin Buu saga. Also worth mentioning is the stylized cel-shaded graphics which look quite nice and make good use of the limited power inside the DS.
