'Dragonball FighterZ' looks dangerously close to the anime
There have been so many Dragonball (Z or otherwise) games that it's hard to tell most of them apart. While the latest Xenoverse titles attempted to spin out Akira Toyama's characters into alternate universes with online play, Dragonball FighterZ is an easier-to-explain premise: a 2D fighter with the anime's top-flight characters, with assistance from the same talent that made BlazBlue and Guilty Gear, both well-regarded competitive 2D fighters.

Welcome to hump day. Expect new Facebook apps on your TVs, home security cameras that just know where your doors are, and the return of the Nokia 3310 -- for some reason.
Wii Warm Up: When you just can't take any more Dragonball
Don't get us wrong, we used to like Dragonball Z. When we were, like, twelve. But with the announcement of yet another DBZ game coming to the Wii, we can't help but think of all the other deserving anime franchises that could use the gaming treatment. The import Naruto titles on the 'Cube were spectacular, and we hear that the Bleach and Full Metal Alchemist titles aren't half bad.You guys probably watch more anime than us, so which series, no matter how obscure, would you have make its way to the Wii? How about Read or Die, which could make very interesting use of the Wiimote for the various paper-based powers, or maybe Hikaru no Go, as a cool boardgame/RPG tandem title? Come forth, otaku, we summon thee!
EA Replay 2 & more DBZ on the way?
The Magic Box is reporting that Gamestop listed EA Replay 2 and Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai Another Road coming out soon for PSP. The EA Replay 2 had a release date of February 19th for $29.99, but when I checked the Gamestop site the listing was no longer there. The release for Dragon Ball Z is listed as March 20th for $39.99 and that page is still up. While Gamestop often lists incorrect release dates for games, they don't typically list games that don't end up eventually hitting store shelves. So there's a good chance PSP owners will get more time with EA and Goku soon. Until then, we'll just have to wait for someone to collect all the Dragon Balls and wish these games into existence.
Large Dragon Ball Z RPG scan
We have to admit we cringed a bit when we read that the next DBZ for DS is card-based. Le sigh. While we are huge DBZ fans, we can't really stand card-based video games for some reason. Maybe they take some kind of special skill we lack? Anyway, Famitsu has a large scan for the game. Guess what ... it's in Japanese and we, as always, can't read it! Honestly, Japanese lessons would help so much in this industry. A lot of familiar faces from the series can be seen including Goku, Vegeta (wouldn't be complete without the smack-talking Saiyan prince), Android 18 plus many, many others. Who knows -- this title could get us into card games .... See the scan after the jump!
