Fans of Dragon Ball, rejoice! Not only is the new PS3 and Xbox 360 fighting game Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 to feature a host of new additions, including a brand new combo system, visual and camera effects, environmental destruction and “stunning visual effects” that ought to make this one of the best looking fighters on the market, but Namco Bandai have today announced that the game will also include a full 30-minute animé episode in the style of the cartoon series.
The exclusive episode- entitled “Dragon Ball: Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans”- is said to be a completely “re-scripted, re-structured and re-edited” version of the first ever Japanese episode. If you manage to sit through the episode in its entirety, a bonus in-game character (in addition to the 90 already there) will be unlocked.
For a sneak preview of the anime, visit www.namcobandaigames.eu on the 18th August.
Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 will be released this Autumn 2010.
“Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans” (which I presume this is) wasn’t anything like the first episode of Dragonball. It was an OVA well into the series. And it was awful. Not DBGT awful, but awful. I think it was originally released in 1993 alongside a game as some kind of video strategy guide.
Thinking about it, it’s probably the first episode chronologically speaking.
