The very first Dragon Ball game “Legend of Shenlong” (Dragon Power in the US) that was released on the NES will be getting a re-release as a bonus feature in the next Dragon Ball DS title. Better than nothing I say, I just hope it isn’t changed as much as it was when it released as Dragon Power in North America.
Also, for those who are curious, we got the release date for the next Dragon Box. Dragon Box Volume Two is set to release February 16th 2010. You can pre-order it now at Amazon. Speaking of the Dragon Box, anyone get their hands on the first volume? I did I must say it it amazing, truly a must have for any fan.
And no, no word on the sequel to Dragonball Evolution yet. It was only a rumor as stated. But if anything is revealed in the near future you know where to find it! Speaking of which I am going to try and get into contact with my 20th Century FOX contacts. I will keep you all posted!

A demo for the upcoming Dragon Ball game “Raging Blast” is now available for download on both the PS3 and XBOX 360 (in North America). It only allows a single player battle against the CPU with Goku, Piccolo or Raditz. It contains English voices and only allows one battle before going back to the Title Screen.
Also, the official website “Dragon Battlers” has updated it with a profile for Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta.
Another interesting note is that IGN made a top 25 Anime Characters list and two from Dragon Ball have made their way to that list. Vegeta lands the 21st spot while Goku has made his way to the top at number one. View that list by following this link. Here’s some quotes from IGN…
Sad news Dragon Ball fans, there will not be a new DB related anime special this year (as we were hoping). Of course I think we were just spoiled with the recent Dragon ball special, “Yo! Son Goku and Friends Return” from last years Jump Anime Tour. But there is still hope to next year’s Jump Anime Tour. And at least we got Dragon Ball Kai this year.
Anyways, the tour begins October 12th in Tokyo and will end on November 29th in Sapporo. Kanzentai reports the following anime/manga events.
- One Piece : Screening footage of the series 10th movie, “Strong World”. In theaters December 12th.
- Naruto : Brand new special for the 10 year anniversary.
- Toriko : Manga becomes alive with the series finally becoming animated.
- Yu-Gi-Oh! – Screening of the 10th anniversary special.
- Katekyou Hitman Reborn! – An animated special covering the Vongola mafia family.
- Letter Bee – Continuation from last year’s animated premiere at the JSAT.
It has been several months since we have seen anything new from the upcoming MMORPG DB game, Dragon Ball Online. But now a brand new trailer has been revealed that shows a lot of interesting aspects in this game. It shows the new characters going back in time to the era of the first Goku vs. Vegeta battle. There are some other spoilers in this trailer.
The upcoming video game “Dragon Ball Z Raging Blast” for the PS3/360 will feature a brand new form of Broly, Super Saiyan 3. This comes from the latest issue of Jump. Check out the scans below!
