Yes, Budoaki HD and DBZ For Kinect more recently.

Now that the JSAT will be a bonus with limited edition of Battle of Gods,
we might finally see Abo, Kado, or at least Aka as playable characters in a video game.

[dbboxkaifan]

Microsoft and Sony are attending TGS but I don't think anyone should get their hopes up of expecting a next-gen DBZ as of yet.

Ridge Racer for PS4 and Xbox One? Seems possible of happening considering RR's been one of the launch games for 360/PS3 in the past.

[Xeogran]

Ooooohhhh Bushiroad! *hopes for another Cardfight Vanguard game9*

Anyways, it would be nice if we get some gameplay footage or anything new.

Aaand Namco Bandai will show the game at Japan Expo. They already confirmed and created an event on facebook.

Well at least it's confirmed to be at Japan expo now.

Dragon Ball Z @ Thursday, 4 July 2013 at 16:00 in UTC+02

Thank god the DBZ stuff will be within the first day so between 4-5 July we'll get a bunch of new info.

I'd really want to know if they're going to release a demo on XBL/PSN.

Well at least it's confirmed to be at Japan expo now.

They were listed on Japan Expo's website already so that was a confirmation.

[Saiyan Prince Vegeta]

Oh right, I had no idea.

That would be awesome.

[BlazingFiddlesticks]

Odd how Madcatz is attending but Hori isn't.

[Saiga]

I didn't realise Japan Expo was so soon, that's pretty exciting. What I'm hoping for most is confirmation that the game contains the Cell + Boo arcs.

[dbboxkaifan]

That would be awesome.

If they threw in online play too that'd welcome non-DB gamers to play the demo and then probably they'd buy it judging if they liked what they've played or not.

This game really has the potential to be the best DBZ of this gen and Namco Bandai shouldn't screw this up.

The trailer on the end stated "To be continued..." and it's not like they'll just make the game go up to Freeza's arc and then nothing else, there's Super Saiyan God Goku for a reason.

[supersaiyan DbZ fan]

This game really has the potential to be the best DBZ of this gen and Namco Bandai shouldn't screw this up.

I agree because if we look at all of this gen Dragon Ball Z games they either almost a success or almost a failure
1. Burst limit. Probably the only COMPLETE success, anyone agree?
2. Raging blast. Almost success. Internet reviews were roughly 5.0-6.0
3. Raging blast 2. Almost success. Basically the same as its prequel.
4. Ultimate blast. Failure
5. For kinect. Failure (had potential but ultimately failed)
6.Budokai hd. Remake of budokai 1 and 3,obviously success

Tell me if I left out any (this gen only)
Battle of z has to take first place (sorry burst limit fans)

[Silkman3003]

Speaking of Budokai HD collection, any accurate sales figures for it? For both the PS3+360?

1) I concur.
2) The camera was a huge deal breaker and so was the music that could be very irritating due to its repetitiveness.
3) RB2 was definitely a great step-up from RB1 with the camera, gameplay and other things fixed.
4) Ultimate Blast could have been an Interactive DVD game considering you could just use the buttons and d-pad of it.
5) I liked DBZ For Kinect but my biggest complain about it is that in terms of content it was way too short which didn't allow much replay value.
6) That one's kind of forgotten alongside DBZ For Kinect.

Maybe Super Saiyan Prime knows something about it now, or Michael. Namco Bandai moved on and doesn't seem to care about it any more, or like they ever did.

Facebook Update:



A slight delay we have here, but it's just one more day than previously announced.

[Xeogran]

2) The camera was a huge deal breaker and so was the music that could be very irritating due to its repetitiveness.

RB1's soundtrack was better than RB2's. Regardless, i'm glad that the custom music feature exists.
