Dragon Ball Z Anime Designer for the Bandai Pippin (1997)

Post by Grandmaster J » Mon Apr 16, 2007 3:08 am

SOURCE: http://kamisama.com.br/infopippin.htm <<< pics & screenshots! (site: http://kamisama.com.br/ )

A Googled translation from the source above:
"The video game system Pippin is one of the fiascos greaters of the Bandai. Launched in Japan in 1997 it it is basically a Power Macintosh with video configuration game. In it it beyond others can itself be twirled the games produced for cd's multimedia. It came with a software of connection with Internet that allowed those that had a external modem of Macintosh if to connect to the net. With nor a set of ten of launched headings, Dragon Ball Z Livens up Designer was the first one of all. It was developed by the company Magic Mouse, that is contracted for the Bandai Co. Ltd for this project. According to Magic Mouse, the “game” never was launched in English due the licensing problems, since the rights of Dragon Ball belong the five different companies, as the Bird Studios, Toei Animation, Bandai etc. But we believe that it never was launched by being a drug. ^^

The program follows the format of the celebrity Mario's Paint for Super Nintendo. It has a bar of tools similar to amateur programs of retouching and treatment of images, but to a lowermost amount of functions. In it we can choose images of the personages and scenes of deep composing its illustrations. By the way, the scenes with correspondence with the series until they are interesting. We can choose between some localities, as the Planet of the Kaio of the North, the house of the Kame, the enclosure for bullfighting of the Tenkichi Budoukai among others. In the bar of tools we have functions that in they allow them to rotacionar
images, to modify the colors of the same ones, to become gloomy and to clarear, to maximinizar and to minimize, beyond drawing “balõezinhos” to write in them what to come in the head or then to use the onomatopéias of '' game '', already ready in ideogramas. For what we can see, some of the images of the “game” had been vetorizadas from illustrations of the Toriyama for the Daizenshuu's, generating a result more than what doubtful… is this, have a series of images that more seem to have been extragone of the games of SNES!

To all they are more than 1000 images of DBZ and one few of DBGT that serve you to illustrate its coarse site, or even though to roteirizar one historinha with the personages of DBZ of coarser form still."
I was just wondering if anyone here has messed around with this game before. Does anyone have any other sources of information for this game?

I remember seeing it on eBay once, a long time ago (like 5 or 6 years ago), and I also recall there being a lot of bids on it too. I haven't seen a copy for sale anywhere since then. And I'm guessing it wouldn't be cheap either. The Pippin console itself is selling for around $200 on eBay right now.

I saw this a few years ago. In fact, it might have been that same site.
Battle High 2, starring Kyle Hebert as well as myself, has been released on Xbox 360, OUYA, PC, Linux, Mac, and Xbox One!

I also saw it on eBay once, it got very expensive.

Anyway, it also came out on the PC, I have that version, but can't get it to work.
A real shame, as I have always wanted to play it.:cry:

It is one of the rarest DBZ Games, for both PC and Pippin.

Really? I had no idea. But then again, I'm not to suprised. From the screenshots, it looks like the game could be mouse friendly.

Yes. I've felt this way too ever since I saw it on eBay years ago. The seller even referred to it as the most rare Dragon Ball Z video game, if I remember correctly.

lol I always thought it was a sprite creater/editor or something. Don't know why. That's what I thought I remember it being.

Anyway, thanks for replying guys. :)
