VentureBeat reports that Namco-Bandai of America will be laying off 90 employees in their US office as part of a previously-announced reorganization. It is unlikely that this will affect the development of future Dragon Ball video games, but is something to keep an eye on following the mass layoffs within the gaming industry (such as …
Navarre just completed their second quarter earnings conference call for Fiscal 2011 and, similar to last quarter, things remain relatively calm for the Dragon Ball franchise. It was noted that FUNimation “had a small net sales increase in the second quarter compared to the prior year’s second quarter”, thanks in part to strong video sales …
Although Dragon Ball Heroes has been public knowledge for some time now, it was only just officially announced midway through October, with both television ad campaigns and the opening of its official website.

If you are still undecided about whether or not to pick up Raging Blast 2, Amazon is offering a $10 credit toward a future game purchase with the pre-order of either the PS3 version or the 360 version. Not a bad little deal. Our buddy TanookiKuribo managed to snag a copy already at a local …

We had hesitated on reporting about this since there did not seem to be much of an issue — places like Amazon and RightStuf would ultimately get another batch of them, and fans went along …
As many of you know, the great Daisuke Gōri unfortunately passed away earlier this year, leaving the role of Mr. Satan in Dragon Ball Kai uncertain; a few of his other roles were immediately recast (such as Ryūzaburō Ōtomo as King Cold).
