Interesting new listing at Zavvi.com?

They were the only people to carry the Ultimate Tenkaichi special edition in the UK and it's possible they may have already ordered another game (hence the pre-order) and put the order page up before they were allowed. Though please do note how the description is for 'Ultimate Tenkaichi'. Hopefully we'll be seeing another game confirmed soon and it wont be by Spike. Co.

Zavvi first and then Amazon also got the Limited Edition UT which was basically a big box, regular UT game and an 18 cm figure (Gohan the Great Saiyaman).

It's a possibility they're aware of a new DBZ game.

I don't have high hopes for a new DBZ game but I'm very excited how it'll be. :)

If it is Spike again, it must really be dirt cheap to hire them. The sales and reviews do not justify the amount of work they've received this generation. UT shipped under 350k, which is surprising given RB2 did like 600k, and sold through enough of that to get a second Yamamoto-less print run. They've poisoned the well, and if it's Spike I doubt they'll be able to fix it.

I think this might be the same as the DBZ Kinect game:

Hey man! I've just been really bust since summer and haven't had much time to myself so any time I get to check all this stuff is very brief and it takes a bit extra to keep up with posts.

A possible film featured with the game? Otherwise there wouldn't be much logic to include this on BBFC's site.

Hope it's not DBZ EoB, but something brand new (exclusive anime) like it happened with Raging Blast 2. :D

From the run time of 19 mins 50 secs I'd be very surprised if it's not Episode of Bardock. Would they really go and create something new when they can just thrown in something that's not been released outside of Japan yet?

Wasn't PtEtSS an exclusive anime for RB2 in Japan also? Yes, though, this DBZ OVA 2010 was streamed being part of the Dragon Ball Z SSSS Project.

I wouldn't be surprised to see an exclusive anime for the Kinect Dragon Ball Z / upcoming DBZ game. :)

Well, it's good to see you post bro.

- Regular Dragon Ball Z
- Kinect Dragon Ball Z
- 3DS Dragon Ball (Z?)

As of now, still no new info about any of these supposedly three DBZ games. :?

Because of the release date, I guess.

Hmm, I think I have a theory (one of the community managers did say they had a plan..). Remember how the requirements of the contract Namco Bandai have with the owners are that a home console game must be released each year for them to hold on to the liscense? Well, what about if Namdai wanted to take more time on the game, how would they do it? They would do it like this, by releasing a low-budget game on the Kinect, simple! Thus meeting the requirements and being able to prolong the length of development for a year longer (max. if they so wished). How likely does anyone think this is?

Bandai could release Kinect Dragon Ball Z for PS Move as well, in case to make it more lucrative.

The main reason I never got to purchase PS Move is because felt like Wiimotes, electronic dildo and another motion controller.

Kinect reminds me of Wall-E (from Disney/Pixar) no controllers, just your body, movements, audio sensor and the camera moves from right to left / contrary to keep up with the player's motion.

True. A new exclusive anime would be better but I don't want to have to go and buy a 360 (I will one day) and a Kinect (would probably have problems using it in my small room and I don't want to have to stand up to play a game) just so I don't miss out on it.

^ 1 to 2 metres is fairly enough to be able to play/control Kinect.

Since Kinect reacts to voice controls too (not just body), I'm guessing some voicing/screaming might be added to this Kinect Dragon Ball Z game. :lol:

1. Hands movement back to do a Kamehame-Ha!
2. Scream slowly: KA.. ME.. HA.. ME.. HAAAAA!
3. Hands movement forward

It'll be pretty cool to do the Kamehame-Ha, Taiyo-ken, go Super Saiyan 1,2,3,4 and etc. :D
