Is that...Yamucha in his baseball uniform? Fuck yes.
It also looks like the Sun Wukong outfit Gohan wore in of the manga chapters as well as the end of "Zenkai Power" is in based off of the hat Piccolo wears.
This game looks awesome. I really hope that info about the game playing itself is wrong...

Wow the trailer made me want to buy this game now. The graphics look great, and I saw Broly on King Kai's planet in the trailer. I wonder what type of What If can that be?

Heh, looks like one of the What-ifs is Goku and Bardock fighting in the afterlife tournament.

The trailer says you use the touch pad to fire special attacks and play mini-games to fire "ultimate special attacks" (like the Super Genki-Dama). So it doesn't look like shouting into the microphone plays a part.

It also says raising your battle power uses up ki power, and lowering your battle recovers ki power. Wonder how that works exactly?

After actually seeing that trailer, I think I'm probably going to pick this up. It looks pretty entertaining, plus, I have a DS where as I don't have a PS3 or Xbox 360. Anyone else notice Yamcha in his baseball outfit? :D

Eh, trailers make all games look good. I think I'm going to wait a bit before I get this. I'm still skeptical about the fighting engine. Still, over 50 characters is pretty good for a DS game is pretty good.

I really wish the game had online play though. Fighting games nowthese days need some type of online play (Tekken 6, Super Street Fighter 4, and MKvsDC for example).

Yea that trailer just sold me. Using the stylus to execute attacks looks both unique and a bit challenging. It looks like you can chain attacks based on the way you move your stylus. I hope there is a traditional method with the d-pad and buttons as well but if not that's ok. It's been a long time since I've found the "fun" in a Dragonball game but this one seems to hit all the right marks. So I'm really hoping this game delivers like I think it will.
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?

Did anyone else notice in the beginning screen caps that Majin Boo was shown? Not to metion he's in the game. I guess this confirms the Majin Boo arc for Kai?

Most of the new DB merchandise has the Dragon Ball Kai logo slapped on it. Even figurines of the movie characters.

So, looks like we're getting another good Dragon Ball game.

I'm loving the recent developments for this game. The customization option could more or less be a test to how a CaC mode in a bigger game would be received.

What's that supposed to be at 1:23-1:29? Is that supposed to be some kind of outfit customization feature?

By the way, does anybody know who's developing this yet? Because it looks a lot like Dimps if you ask me.
