Dragon Ball: Ultimate Swipe

[TheDevilsCorpse]

I have no idea what this is, besides being a mobile, phone game. Is it even new? Here's the link: http://www.gamer.ne.jp/news/201403140074/

Infinity Blade, DBZ Edition?

Want.

the character icons or w/e in that pic looks like the exact one from Tenkaichi Tag Team when you pick a character in the character selection screen

Hell, even the kidbuu model look like the ones from Tenkaichi Tag Team when you play it on PPSSPP

Yes, this is a new game. It will be released on iOS, and Android sometime this month. The official site can be found here: http://dbus.bngames.net/

This game looks to be to Tenkaichi Tag Team as Dragon Ball Z for Kinect is to Ultimate Tenkaichi. The character models, environments, and portraits are lifted directly from that game. The key art is from Burst Limit.

edit: Digging through that Tenkaichi Tag Team site revealed the source for Tap Battle's key art.

Looks like the graphics of Tenkaichi Tag Team but sadly it's another mobile game.

I don't remember Namco Bandai ever releasing DB arcade games for the home consoles and yet they do these sort of games for iOS/Android devices which are only good for 5mins or less. It's just not real gaming.

Well, without sounding condescending, isn't that the point of mobile gaming? Just a quick 10 minute game for those bus journeys/train rides. Games like this with recycled material are going to be far cheaper than the process of a video game for consoles, it's a much safer bet for the company and is likely a quick process from development to distribution.

I wonder if this release means that Tap Battle was successful, and whether or not we might ever see an English release of these apps.

I believe they might mean "Ki art".

Off-topic: DBKHD, where's your avatar art from? Is there a full image, or is it part of an avatar set or something?

Key art refers to promotional artwork made for movies, games, etc. The key art for Ultimate Swipe can be seen on the official website to the left of the logo. It's Goku from the Burst Limit box art.

It's from Budokai 2 cover.

Yeah but the date is a mistake. There's no set release date.

Is Spike the developer?

They released Super Dragon Ball Z on home consoles, and Dragon Ball Heroes on 3DS.

What is this even supposed to mean?

It's just not real gaming.

It is though, in a way. It's a fun five - ten minute distraction while you're on the bus/train. That's how portable gaming was first conceived if I'm not wrong. Just think of mobile games as the modern Game and Watch.

While I agree, I still stick with my GBA SP. Had that thing for ten years already and its still going strong with Fire Emblem and Yugioh Worldwide Edition.

It looks quite bad. It's like the kinnect game but with touch screen controls instead of movement controls.
