Kart Dragon Ball Z Game?

Post by dbboxkaifan » Wed Mar 14, 2012 8:41 pm

It would be really nice to have a Kart game with DBZ characters, the kart could be Mario Kart-style which would mean bombs/goodies, and as for releasing it'd be digital-only (XBLA/PSN/PSV/Nintendo Store). Because it'd be small sized games, however, they could receive DLC packs.

I.e., "Dragon Ball Z" characters could mean much more than just from DBZ, also from DB, GT, Heroes, Online, and newer ones (Burdock Super Saiyan).

I want a 'Dragon Ball' Karaoke game so I can make the whole street listen to me singing 'Makafushigi' at the top of my lungs. :P

I want a dragon ball fighting game which directly mimics the complexities of the rock, paper scissors format.... Oh wait.



it won’t happen unless if it’s a Cross promotional Jump Game but I think I think a kart racing game would work especially with the different kinds of transport the original series utilises. I'm expecting Tao Pai Pai and his stone pillar to be the most broken character in the game.

This has the potential to be awesome and hilarious. Someone ought to make it as a fangame! I'd give it a try, but all I'm decent at is music, which honestly isn't the most important part. :oops:

Well, DB Kinect might just be for you!! ....


I think a game of this sort is kinda risky, and would be best developed when the series is quite a good state, and prospering. That way, there's a higher chance of people knowing about it, and doing well.

I can't actually visualise a Kart-style DBZ game though.

Well, this style of game can be realized with Portable Consoles. Or some Doujin-Developers make a DBZ-Kart game.

DB Xenoverse is not a DBZ simulator with fighting elements, it's a semi competent fighting/action game with DBZ simulation elements.

If anyone actually makes this, it had better have a way to recreate the Goku and Piccolo driving test filler from the show.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

I think thay should focus on a good RP DBZ western game first.
In a hypothetical situation where there is a DBZ kart game, I'd like references to a) driving test ep. and b) those cutscenes with Gohan and Videl driving with Goten under car and King Kai driving into Goku from after Cell arc. episodes.

How can a Dragonball kart game be played, though?
DOUBLE DASH please
Then we can have fusion karts, like a kart with Trunks and Goten can fuse into Gotenks with some sort of speed boost for 15 seconds. Same with Gogeta.

I loved Mario Kart Double dash. The special moves in particular.

I liked Mario Kart Double Dash too, but didn't enjoy it very much due to the lack of karts in the game.

I want a Dragonball game where you have to take dumps and grunt out loudly like the funimation cast always did for powerups during their DBZ dub. HAhahaha. Seriously, a kart game? Lol.

Yeah man, racing games are so fun and social everyone would get along just fine.

If the karts also had damage-enabled it'd be hilarious to see them get wrecked. :lol:

I always liked the idea of Battle Stadium DON which was the fighting game with Dragonball, One Piece, and Naruto characters. I always wanted them to make another one with a bit different fighting system. It would be cool if they added a kart mode like one of the Mortal Kombat games had. Or just make a Kart game, call it Kart Racer DON or something like that.

This would be a big change of pace given we're used to the developers taking dumps and grunting into DVD cases and charging $60 for it.

I don't see this idea ever happening. Bandai Namco is most likely going to think that this idea won't sell well and the chances are that very little people will buy it.

Don't people, when using quotes as sigs, usually lay them out as quotes? It looks much better. Just saiyan'

@Hellspawn28; It would only be successful if the franchise itself was in a good current state. At the moment though it isn't.

I tried, but it wasn't working for some reason. So I said fuck it and did it this way instead. :lol:

Also, I can't believe this thread is still going!

They'll probably make it for DS if they did.
Or Kinect.
