DMV. DBZ. MMO. Capeesh? Ok, I'll slow things down a little. Over on Japanator, DMV found out that there's an MMO DBZ game in development for a 2008 release in Japan, and a beta testing session in Korea this summer:
The game is set 200 years from the end of the manga, so all the main characters are dead, or so it seems. The world has been divided by some evil organization, and with the help of “Time Patrol Trunks,” you’ll help to reunite the world.
In Dragon Ball Online you get to play as Saiyans, Humans, Nameks, and possibly other DBZ races, but the cool Molyneux twist is that you start playing as a young fighter, and grow to be an adult anime character. That's a lot of damn hero haircuts, Krillin clones might be a cheapest characters to play. Akira Toriyama has stopped playing Blue Dragon and now plans to help design the new characters, buildings, and backgrounds for this game.
I'm sure there's already an "over 9,000" population party being planned. Here's some scans from a magazine showing what we can expect so far. If I ever get a chance to play this I'll make a Hercule look alike and try to live up to Japan's generous name for the American character from the show: Mr. Satan.

WHAT DOES THE SCOUTER SAY ABOUT HIS POWERLEVEL?
Answer: OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!!!!
Imagine how many peoiple will name themselves and guilds with that 9000 gag.
Worst part about it is that it never was funny. I could be the biggest DBZtard and not find it funny. Granted I watched one half of a DBZ episode my entire life but still, what was I supposed to be laughing at ?
can anyone please explain to me what the flying fuck was so hysterical about that 9000 gag?
For the same reason the Nintendo 64 kid is funny. The over-dramatic way Vegeta screams it. Over 9000?
Also good to know Toriyama will be involved.
I can't fuckin wait. Do you think it will be released in U.S.
I really wish every RPG under the sun wasn't a MMO these days.
I pretty much agree. Remember the old GBA DBZ games that were like Pokemon, and yet actually kinda good? Would be nice just to see a more Oblivion-esque RPG instead of pay-as-you-waste-away.
I actually knew what scene in the show everyone was referencing but that's the first time I've ever seen that video and damn, it actually had me laughing most of the way through. Probably because I'm so tired but still, good stuff.
"Question: How many times will the "over 9,000" joke be used in reference to this?
Answer: OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!!!!"
hahahahaha
Oh yes. The pool will be closed due to AIDS.
One or two I could understand, staying dormant... but potentially OVER NINE THOUSAND? That just doesnt make sense.
That video is absolutely RETARDED, but I couldn't help but laugh, maybe only because it was so bad, rather than because it was so good... maybe its both O.o
i will try it out, as long as its free
"You are powering up!"
3 days later
"You are powered up and ready to fight!"
3 minutes later
"Your Spirit Bomb has been Reflected back at you!"
3 minutes later
"You reflect Spirit Bomb at Gohanlin!"
2 hours later you're too tired to reflect any more.
"Spirit Bomb hits you for 500.000.000 damage. You die go do 10,000,000 pushups"
