Could someone please translate Mecha Gokû's origin story?
Picture below!

EDIT: Oh WOW, I tried translating it and I'm getting "Mecha Gokû is a battle robot Bulma built for Vegeta". If I'm reading that right, that is a fun backstory.
On hiatus.

Yeah, it's basically a training bot Bulma built for him. When it uses full power, its whole body shines, which is the explanation for its "Super" form.

I gave Bura/ Bra/ Bulla/ whatever the Gallick Gun, which is both a good move and cool given she's Vegeta's daughter (and, naturally, the reason it's a move she can even learn in the first place). I did have her on my team for a long time, though, so I probably 'unlocked' the ability to use it, or something.

Gurse and Recootta. They appear early in the story mode, so we were discussing them almost immediately after playthroughs started popping up.
Direct translations of the Korean DB Online timeline and guidebook.
My personal "canon" and BP list. (Coming Soon)

Is there an English summary of the story anywhere?
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Tapion looks spot-on, and Chronoa for what's available. Good job!

So.
The game
has been rated for Brazil. As I noted
in our update, the American branch of Bandai Namco is responsible for distribution in the United States, Brazil, and Latin America.
Additionally, we received a tip (with photo evidence) that Walmart's systems list the game for an October 11 release in America. I, not being a Walmart employee, cannot independently confirm that information, however.

There's also gonna be a 3DS Nintendo Direct in a few days...
I'm not gonna say anything conclusive, but we MIGHT have a chance for a western release...

That makes so much sense I wonder why its not an actual feature in the series proper.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Three posts above you.
But yeah, this could imply something as great as a full Western release.

Perhaps it's relatively easier to do compared to XV2. I'm imagining that Fusions wouldn't have full dub voice overs, and really the only thing being changed would be all the text, like Extreme Butoden.
Either way, it'll be a great to pass the time with until XV2 drops. Having played the Japanese version on my J-3DS, I can say it's super fun. Can't wait for a Western release.

Wow, so now is most likely that we will have a Western release announcement.

I'd keep your hopes low, just in case. But if it does come on October 11, then I probably won't be getting it before Xenoverse 2. I'm also looking into Infinite World, so I'll have to wait for, say, Christmas to roll around.
