We know about Dragon Ball Evolution coming for the PSP in the next couple months (March in Japan, April in the US), and we know about Dragon Ball Z Story coming for the Nintendo DS in the spring over in Japan.

Anyone interested in another new game?

While we can not confirm any additional details right now, we have it on good authority that yet another Dragon Ball game (note that we’re talking the original DB… no Z or GT here) is in the works right now, and it is a Wii game. Furthermore, it sounds like it will be based around the Red Ribbon Army arc.

The last we heard anything like this was way back in July 2004 when a URL and description for a so-called Red Ribbon Army Saga game for the GBA popped up on Atari’s website. It was quickly taken down, but it would certainly be interesting to see if the idea was being revisited five years later on a new platform.

The cover art for the final set of Dragon Ball The Movies individual discs have been revealed. The final set includes the first three films, “The Legend of Shenlong” (DB Movie 1), “The Sleeping Princess in Devil’s Castle” (DB Movie 2), and “Mystical Great Adventure” (DB Movie 3), which are all set to be released 13 March 2009.

So with that, all of the Dragon Box individual discs have been released, minus the TV specials and bonus material. It would be nice if they actually released the three TV specials, but I guess we can not ask for everything. Although we say goodbye to these monthly updates, we can look forward to having weekly Dragon Ball Kai updates starting in April!

Check out a new trailer for Dragon Ball Evolution (the game for the movie) over on Game Trailers. It is fully in English, but it is technically the Japanese trailer for the upcoming PSP fighting game based on the upcoming live action movie.

Be amazed at the “KamayamaYA!” pronunciation among a couple halfway-interesting things like “character” and “story”. Moderate sarcasm aside, I am going to have to get this damn PSP fixed so I can review the game in the coming months.

Our buddy sangofe has let us know that France is going to be seeing a new DVD box set release for the Dragon Ball Z series.

Here is a run-down on the info for this release:

• Aspect ratio: 4:3
• Distributor: TF1 VIDEO
• Number of DVDs: 17
• Episodes: 001-117
• Price: €170
• Release company: AB VIDEO
• Release date: 19 March 2009

All episodes have been remastered from scratch and are presented in the correct 4:3 aspect ratio by a team of fans at AB France (we are unsure which film masters were used). The parts of the French dub where there had previously been some type of censoring have been replaced with the Japanese soundtrack with subtitles. The voice actor for Goku (as opposed to the Japanese version’s own narrator) recorded all of the episode title card narrations, where none previously existed for this dub. The Japanese version will be included in addition to the French dub. Finally, next-episode previews are included, but will only appear with Japanese audio.

Go France!

We have known that the game is due out 19 March 2009 over in Japan (not to mention the general Asian version of the game, as well), but now we have confirmation of an American release date. Amazon is listing a $39.99 price point for an 07 April 2009 release date — just in time for the movie, itself. You can hear a first-hand account of the game from our buddy Bryce over on the most recent podcast episode from his play-through up at New York Comic-Con.

Oricon has posted a trailer for the movie with a preface from our main-man Toriyama:

Here is what he had to say (as translated by Anime New Network):

As the original creator, I had a feeling of “Huh?” upon seeing the screenplay and the character designs, but the director, all the actors, the staff, and the rest are nothing but “ultra” high-caliber people. Maybe the right way for me and all the fans to appreciate it is as a New Dragonball of a different dimension. Perhaps, this might become a great masterpiece of power! Hey, I look forward to it!!

I guess we will find out exactly how high-caliber these “people” really are on April 8th, when the movie drops into a theater near you (in the United States)… though, I am sure we will get a pretty good idea on March 13th when the movie premieres in Japan.
