Re: "Dragon Ball Z For Kinect" Official On-Going Thread
Is there any chance for a new Dragon Ball game to be reviled in E3?

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.

It's not quite a clone but a mix of 64, DC, GC and Xbox all together. I was impressed because the original Wii was 'meh' to me, so this was effin awesome news.Super Saiyan Prime wrote:Also, you were wowed by a 360 controller clone?

We'll have to wait and see, today's the big day of revelations on E3.
Though, I don't think Namco Bandai would announce a Dragon Ball game on E3, but it'd be awesome.

I'm not seeing anything more than a 360 here.
I'm also really unsure of why you're excited about Wii U. Given every report we've heard points to this thing being closer to the PS3, and 360 in power than what those platform's successors will be then you're just buying yourself another Wii. In 2 years no third parties will make games for this because the hardware's not advanced enough to run modern middleware, or easily able to port content from PS4, Kinexbox, or PC.
If it's really just the fact that there's a normal looking controller, let me introduce these to you:

Heck, each Dragon Ball game on Wii supported the use of those controllers.
No, Namco Bandai has never announced a Dragon Ball game at E3.DBZGTKOSDH wrote:Is there any chance for a new Dragon Ball game to be reviled in E3?

There wasn't any Dragon Ball Z For Kinect at E3 Xbox 2012, though, another Kinect game appeared with some DB-ish stuff:


I do wish the rest of the game was this cool but it looked really crappy.

Namco Bandai's E3 Stream
They showed the old DBZ for Kinect trailer with the correct Saiyan pronunciation.

The interview is starting right now.
Edit: This interview was pretty pointless... 54 playable characters confirmed.

Re: "Dragon Ball Z For Kinect" Official On-Going Thread
Aaaaaaaaand it's over
. Totally canned Q&A with nothing interesting. Over 50 characters, totally immerse yourself in the universe with the special moves, and Nakajima's favorite character is Kuririn. The end.

That bigass poster/board of Dragon Ball For Kinect with Goku, Gohan and Goten looks pretty cool I wonder if they threw it away after everything was over.

I got hands on with this and pictures of the full booth and such. I also took about 6 minutes of two matches with my camera. They were pushing it pretty hard; it was one of the biggest displays in the Namco booth. They even had this girl dressed as a sort of Goku-maid girl who was absolutely adorable.

Re: "Dragon Ball Z For Kinect" Official On-Going Thread
As promised, I got a hands on with this, so here's a bunch of pictures of the booth!

They had two tvs set up with two staffers explaining how to play the game.

The display was really huge and tall.

It was hard to get good shots, because the cloth banner was translucent... but I did my best.

This is a better shot of the cloth banner keyart they had on display for the game. This is the smaller one sitting directly behind where the players stood.

In case you wanted to know what was on the reverse side of DBZ Kinect... this is a thing!

They also had this absolutely adorable Goku-Maid-Girl there to promote the game. She was playing the game, too, for a while.
I have about 7 minutes of gameplay on my camera, so I'll try to post a video when I have a chance. The game itself was fun, but it's also about what you expect; A lot of flailing motions and trying to do what is at the righthand of the screen. I don't know if the guy demoing it just didn't explain it correctly or what, but I think you pretty much had to just follow the prompts.
