"ZENKAI Battle Royale" needs to come to the consoles

Post by Bardo117 » Sat Nov 20, 2010 9:09 pm

Can you guys imagine playing that type of game on a console? It would be amazing. Game looks pretty fresh.

If it ever gets released in the states, they better release it on the Ps3/360.

Those graphics looks crazy real, like if it weren't an anime or something.

I'd love to see it play out on consoles.

Looks all right, I guess. The animation looks pretty stiff though.
Looks pretty much like a Spike game, + effort.

I think it might get ported to the PS3 and 360 depending how well the game goes in Japan. Look at Super DBZ for example.

Me too. The graphics look amazing and if the game is really made by Spike, the fighting engine will rock.

Bandai has actually ported a bunch of their Gundam arcade games to PSP. So, I wouldn't be surprised to see it show up on the upcomming handhelds.

Namco Bandai makes arcade games using a board based on the PlayStation 3 called System 357 (Ignore the Zenkai Battle Royale llisting on that article unless it's specifically confirmed somewhere else). If Zenkai Battle Royale uses this board that'd probably be good news for those wishing for a home console port.

Darn, I was kind of hoping this was the game they had planned for the 3DS... Imagine that with all the stuff happening in the background and foreground, though. My first impression is that the graphics look like the first Budokai with more detail; pretty cool I must say.

What was the reason that Super DBZ got a console port in the first place? Was it just Polularity? What ever the case may be if Zenkai Battle Royal falls under the same circumstances then we will most likely see a console port. But then again Ryo Mito or whatever his name is was already showing signs of Raging Blast 3, so even if this was to get a home version then we might not see it until some where around 2013 at the latest.
It's not too late. One day, it will be.

Super DragonBall Z ran Namco's System 246 arcade hardware, which is very similar to the PlayStation 2 hardware itself, making it a relatively easy port.

Also, it was a traditional fighting game in the modern era. To not release a home port would have been silly.

I think we'll need some more info about the game and how it plays, what the control scheme is etc. before we know whether a console port would even be viable.

Is this that arcade game that looks kinda chibi-fied? If so, I'd love to see it as DSi-ware or the like.

No, that's "Ultimate Butōden". This is an arcade game.

I want to know how it plays before I go ga-ga over this game. I'll admit, that first glimpse really got me excited. The game is no Ninja Storm 2 in terms of what I want the graphics to be, but the game still looks nice. It's a style that works well and the background and character models blend a lot better than they do in Raging Blast 2. I hope the game play is comparable to Super DBZ than anything else, I know it looks like it might be a Sparking clone but at the same time it looks like there is something different compared to that series.
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?

I would definitely play this if it came to consoles. It looks superb.

Even if it comes to consoles, unless it introduces something completely new, I'm not buying it. Hearing that this game will play like Raging Blast, really disappoints me.

The four-player dynamic isn't new enough for you? It looks far beyond what even Tag Vs. did. All in all, the short video we've gotten so far has shown characters doing plenty of things they could never do in the Sparking! and Raging Blast series.

That still doesn't seem like enough of a change. They need something drastic to happen.
