Games like this make me wish I was 10 again. I would have loved this to death. DBZ will always be my favorite, but I can't play this. Heck, I don't even want to try it because I know it would be terrible and disappointing. The 10 year old me would have loved this :/

Instead, all I ever got was pretending to turn super saiyan with my imagination. Good memories.

Just re-make Budokai 3 already.

Outisde of Star Wars, DBZ is the most milked franchise in history.

You must not know of franchises such as Hello Kitty, Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Mario, Zelda and many others I can't think of right now.

Any who, can't wait to see the QL for this game. Also, annoyed that they butchered the pronunciation of Saiyan at the end.

If it doesn't let me re-enact "Over 9000", then I won't buy! [sarcasm]

Ok, based on that old GameSpot video they dug up for the subscription promo, Jeff and Ryan totally need to "review" this. Preferably in blonde wigs.

So is there anybody out there old enough to remember Dragon Ball Z but young enough to enjoy this watered down bullshit?

Like, seriously, who are they marketing to? Kids don't give a fuck about Dragon Ball Z these days, do they?

They did a recut of Dragonball Z (called it Kai) and put it on a kids' channel. I believe it was Nickelodeon, but I'm not sure. Well, at least here in the states, anyway. If kids didn't watch it, it wouldn't still be all over TV, and there's a group of people somewhere that's still buying these games.

Side note: The recut chopped out all of the filler and some other bits here and there that weren't necessary, only showed through the ending of the Cell arc (cut out the final story arc) and it wound up at only 97 episodes.

As for me? I'll just dig out my old Budokai 3 disc and watch the Abridged version of DBZ if I need to get my Dragonball on. And I don't. So I won't.

@cbonner1847: I don't know. Gotta think that a girl that's against you embracing your inner geek/man-child/whatever is not a keeper. Thankfully my wife lets me watch anime/ play video games in peace and has been with me to 3 PAX's.

See, if this was say a downloadable game, it wouldn't be so bad. But i'm sure they're going to sell this for 50-60$. You can't sell me this type of game for that price. I would almost buy a kinect just to try this out.

Now, test the waters with a 30$ price point. See how people react to it, get some sales....And possibly make this a big thing.

I love that the box just shows the DBZ characters hanging out in a fucking living room.

I hope the fighting they show here is fake, and the real game is about Goku sitting on his Ikea sectional and doing some light reading.

So a shitty game about a shitty anime for a shitty interface. *yawn*

Oh well, twelve year old kids don't have any taste, so whatever. I liked shitty things when I was twelve, too.

2/3rds of your post is correct. Anyway the flying will be the downfall of the game.

While that didn't seem like a particularly good trailer, I will admit that I've always wanted to kamehameha at a Kinect. Then again, I wanted to force push at a Kinect also, and that didn't work out so well. Also, please instruct your voice-over personnel of correct pronunciations. Thanks.

This trailer & these comments are hilarious. It almost makes up for the games existence.

..Almost.
