Hey everybody, remember that little news bit about a Dragon Ball MMO called Dragon Ball Online? Well, over at Japanator there's news that Dragon Ball Online will be coming to the Xbox 360. There's a posting over on Japan's GameJob asking for a programmer to work on Dragon Ball Online for the Xbox 360.
Well, this definitely sounds like another move to sell 360s in Japan. I'd expect to see this game bundled with Blue Dragon for a Toriyama bundle and try to market it to all the hardcore anime fans. At least this will be a good use of the QWERTY keyboard for the 360.
Be sure to check out some of the screens, like the one shown above, over at Japanator.

there ya go
That just sounds a tad bit ridiculous, but whatever. We'll see how good it is.
im truly speechless, all kinds of emotions kick in...
- jesus, took 30 years to make this?
- how many geeks will pick sayans & be roaming in space...
- Did krillin really bang No18? I cant believe it...
- omfg, just when I thought I was grew out of DBZ.
- Dammit... I cant find my Sailor moon and the 7 Dragonballz.
also, cocks.
You're walking around Namek, munchin' on senzu beans, BAM! someone looks at you funny, ask if they wanna go, starts then and there, hairs turn yellow and worlds explode. mutha fuckin EPIC!
Also, clans. Team Dtoid would be epic.
This looks awesome.
OVER NINE-THOUSAND!!!!!
Imagine how many parents credit cards are going to get stolen when this hits the 8-14 year market. From what i've understood, DBZ isn't that popular in Japan and arguably has as strong if not a stronger market in the West. Maybe it will come as a beta with Crackdown 2
DBZ is probably even MORE popular in Japan than in the U.S. but you have to remember that DBZ finished in Japan around 1995 whereas it just finished it's run here (U.S.) a couple of years ago.
To them, it's pretty old so I'm sure the popularity has diminished a bit.
Though i guess it is too early to say which dragonball seires this game will be most like, one screenshot's not a good judge for that... i just kinda hope it's more dragonball and less DBZ
I'd imagine they'd put in a lot of different physical attacks, but the key game play element here is gonna be the blasts. What I want to see is destructible environments. That would make this game gold for me. I want to throw some stupid Namek into a building and watch it crumble on top of him.
It's okay, Namek's can't work their stolen computers, they aren't real people.
Uh..
Grun--uh....
Hmmm-ya---huh.......
I love DBZ though. Awesome news!
Unfortunately my brain knows better.
No good can come from a game full of SSJ's beating the crap out of a handful of Namekian nubs.
Having DBO on 360 would be shit, it wouldnt be Multi Console, so you cant play with PC players. And the company that is producing DBO is not exactly a big 360 game maker.
People we are talking about the same people who made Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 1,2,3, and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 1,2,3. It will not be on a console because it is a MMORPG.
Also. DBO is due to be released in english into the westurn community in august this year (2008). The japanese version will be realeased earlier. and the BETA testing has begun according to many sources in korea (To be tested by the korean public(meaning only korean borns can play because all korean online games require there korean passport number(this is to find hackers and online abusers))), and many japanese and Korean newspapers.
DBO(released August 2008) VS WoW(released August 2004)
the races are namekians, sayians, humans. namerkians start on new namek. humans and sayians on earth guided buy time patrol trunks. you can choose to be an adult or be a kid and grow up while palying the game. You can fight with other palyers. you can make your own clan group. beable to buy sensu beans, Cloths, swords. The only enemies that the producers have told of are the sayamen, various 'alien scum', Dinosaurs(of original Dragonball). Also the aindroids were discussed for being a 'Maybe' for a race aswell as a enemy (android #33,34,35 and so on. 33 is told of as the weakest "level" ,this is wierd because in the shows, the numbers are just names and dont have any meaning for there power. Also there is to be a new enemy race of alien in the game. This info is officialy from the namco bandai company team and others working on the production of DBO.
