Just noticed "Freeza Soldier" is in the game as one of Ginyu's attacks:

Found a bunch of gameplay videos with the new additions to the game. How did I miss all of this?

I had a chance to play this when I was in Japan last month, it's pretty neat and at least it's different. I'm sure we'll get a port otherwise I can wait and just purchase the arcade cabinet.

I'm looking for that one video that has a guy going wild with the combat system. All I've seen are misguided new players pressing random buttons and running around.

I have a question, is there any information, which confirms, that Spike is the developer of this Arcade game?? For me, it just looks more like a Gundam-"Ripoff".
The game uses Spike animation/models, but this doesn't look very Spikish for me.

DB Xenoverse is not a DBZ simulator with fighting elements, it's a semi competent fighting/action game with DBZ simulation elements.

At least on wikipedia it's stated that Zenkai Battle Royale has the same engine as the most recent Gundam Extreme vs games that have been coming out. They look almost exactly the same in a lot of ways, so I would think its Namco/Bandai using Capcom's engine from the Gundam vs games. I've always wanted to try Gundam vs, and also am tired of the Spike games so Zenkai Battle Royale seems like a real godsend. I just hope it gets a Xbox 360 release in North America somehow.

Oh my gosh it looks like an amazing game. I hope it gets ported to the U.S. It actually seems like it will be legitimately different from the trend that the first Budokai game started.

Hi All,

Currently in Osaka, Japan and just returned from the Namco building where I finally got to view 'Zenkai Battle Royale'.

('Daimo-Rukiri', you are so lucky to have access to awesome multi-level arcades like this!)

I also managed to get some promotional material, namely, little comics for most of the major characters. I've shown Goku's as an example:

(Goku in a green Gi - Different, I guess?)

And for 'Super Saiyajin Luffy' - Bana Passport:

Image

(Unfortunately, I was not able to get a shot of an actual card being used.)

If anyone's interested, I can take more pictures of the other character's stories once I can catch a break.

ItsAllGood :)

Dou you have seen BanaPass in ZBR style (Cards for Namco-Bandai Arcades)???
Can you take picture of these.

Two new stages:

And #17 and Gero now have their character pages up, if anyone's wondering. They seem to be pretty plain though.
There's one slot left now.

So, after the new slot gets filled there will be no more characters? That's sad. It should be Cell Games Gohan, I suppose. Too bad, this game looks brilliant but if they aren't going to add anything more to the roster (and cutting out the Buu saga again) then it seems like a bit of a waste.

It is only an arcade game though. I doubt they are looking to spend too much on it. It just looks like a little something creative and fun.

Wow, awesome, I would've preferred this game on the home consoles than Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Tenkaichi. Hopefully it'll get ported someday. :D

Was never stated anywhere. I guess people assumed that because there was only one slot left on the site, but oddly enough they can change that to suit their needs pretty easily. :P

Well that's a pleasant surprise. I thought the last slot was in game, not on the website but to be frank I know next to nothing about this game.
