EU gets Dragon Ball Advance Adventure

Post by Ash » Fri Apr 29, 2005 2:45 pm

Heheh, while we still haven't got a real DB Sagas release date [thank heavens], we do get Advance Adventure :D

This is one game I definately am going to buy ^^

Great. I got the emulator when I heard this was released in Japan and I can't wait to buy this and actually be able to read about what's going on.

Isn't there a rule against ROM talk? You've posted about ROMs in two topics now. ROMs are lame.

I heard about this a few days ago. If it's the game I think it is, I'll defently buy it.

I got the RoM because I wanted to give the game a try. I hardly ever play it anyway because I can't read it but the gameplay is pretty good and because of this I will probably buy the game when it is released here.
As for the other time I was referring to RoMs, it was about really old games that play on a really old console. I stupidly binned my NES when I got my SNES as it seemed obsolete.
A few years ago my SNES broke on me and when was the last time you tried to buy a SNES console never mind the games. Finding one now in good condition would be great, but I have searched a few times on the web and it doesn't look likely.

I'm hoping it's only a matter of time that it is released in America.

And I don't think VegEX will ban you if you mention ROMs in passing (IE, "I have the ROM of that game").
Battle High 2, starring Kyle Hebert as well as myself, has been released on Xbox 360, OUYA, PC, Linux, Mac, and Xbox One!

Meanwhile, just to confirm, if you check on GameFAQs, it is listed as being released in EU in June sometime - if I recall correctly.

I wonder if the EU releases will have English as one of the release languages, aside any other European language? Since English is getting to be a very widely used language it definitely makes me wonder about the possibility... and if it does, I would definitely import the game.

Otherwise, I'd have to stick to my plan of paying out the ass for a Japanese version... sometime soon.

Most likely. Unlike back in the SNES days, english speaking Europeans know what DragonBall is nowadays. There's no reason to release a game based on a license in a country where the license is unknown, and there's no reason to translate a game into a foreign language if you're not going to sell the game in a country where people speak that language.

Also, Advance Adventure isn't a very text-heavy game, so there'll most likely be just one european version, allowing you to switch between languages.

I can only pray... When its released, I hope someone here will actually purchase a copy, and give us a run down of selectable languages for the game, if it indeed has selectable languages, and not just a single language.
[I would definitely benefit from someone relaying this information, since my birthday is a short while after it's EU release, and I had planned to import a copy for myself then anyway.]

Well, I bet someone here will buy it. But if not, you can expect me to give you info on the available languages. I'll snatch the ROM real quick to take a look. If it's got English in there (which it most likely will) I'll start digging in the couch for some spare change so I can import. :D

Games in Europe always have a English language option, unless it's only released in country X.

Usually EU games give you the choice of English/German/French/Spanish/Italian text. Don't forget, gaming-wise England is part of Europe so it would be quite strange if the EU version of DBAA doesn't has a English text option :P

Yay. Maybe they'll keep in the Japanese voices since it gets released here first =D

Ugh...I need this game.


I haven't played a decent video game in so long that I've basically given up gaming. This game looks good and I hope I'm not disappointed.

I think the whole "Dragonball Adventures" thing is bullshit. I mean, there's boxart now that says "Advanced Adventure" (Gah! Advanced! There shouldn't be a D!) so I doubt it should be "Adventures".
