I heard from my brother that the game got trashed in Weekly Famitsu...

5800 first day sales. Which is 10% of its initial shipment. Not good.

If last weeks sales are anything to go by, it's pretty decent. Might even crack the top 10. Bad timing sandwiching the release between Dragon Quest IX and Monster Hunter 3.

Damn fine point.

Here's a scan from Official Nintendo Magazine... It's pretty lulzy...

While it would have been more accurate to say "Dragon Ball Invades London," that headline isn't entirely inaccurate. They do also talk about Attack of the Saiyans.

Sometimes I believe 80% of the world doesn't know Dragonball is called Dragonball only rather than Dragonball Z.

It's an official Nintendo magazine and even it can't even get the title of the game right...?

Lulz.

Ouch, not good. Famitsu is pretty tough on game reviews though. Only 10 games have ever got a perfect 40, and 17 games got a 39. We'll see how American and European video game reviewers rate it.

Not bad. The color scheme on the disc is weird, but that won't matter once you play the game.

Man, this game looks so awesome. Right next to the FF4 sequel, this is my 2nd reason to get a Wii.

That headline is the least of the article's problems. The article itself describes some sort of alternate universe history of DB games:

“Picking up right after King Piccolo’s defeat at the hands of hero Goku, it follows his journey to Snow Mountain and a final confrontation with the mad king”

“You might remember there was a Game Boy Advance game a few years ago that did the same (Dragon Ball Z: The Red Ribbon Army Saga"

Etc.

How the hell does Goku have a final confrontation with the mad king if the game starts right after his defeat?

They're probably referring to Piccolo Jr.. I have no idea what this Snow Mountain is.

Innagadadavida · Post by **Innagadadavida** » Tue Jul 28, 2009 9:52 pm

They probably mixed the description of the DS game with the Wii game. It's funny, but maddening. I hate it when journalists have no idea what they're reporting on. I used to work on my high-schools paper and it's a pretty basic rule to familiarize yourself with the content before writing an article.

"A collusion between Piccolo and the Army?"

Post by **Herms** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 5:19 am

And then of course there never was any such game as "DBZ: The Red Ribbon Army Saga". I suppose they're thinking of Advance Adventures.

DNA wrote:They're probably referring to Piccolo Jr.. I have no idea what this Snow Mountain is.

Snow Mountain may be referring to Frappe Mountain, the snow-covered mountain from the Bashosen filler arc, which is an area in Attack of the Saiyans. As Innagadadavida said, they're probably getting the two games mixed up. Still, Goku only fights Pilaf and co. on Mt. Frappe, so I've got no idea why they'd think he fights Piccolo there. Or it could be that Tenkaichi Daiboken really does have Goku fight Piccolo on a Snow Mountain for some reason.

DNA · Post by **DNA** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 6:10 am

Well... maybe the mad king they're referring to is Pilaf... :S

Goku got beat by 50 Cent.
