[Preview] Dragon Ball Online

02-21-2008_00002.jpg

The wish of an online multi-player mode in a Dragonball Z game came true for Wii owners of Budokai Tenkaichi 3. Now, a Dragon Ball MMORPG is up at bat. Introducing, Dragon Ball Online. DBO was announced last April in South Korea, where it is currently under-going private beta testing. Specific features are unclear at the moment, but the trailer lives up to the hopes of what’s to come when fans get the chance to run around as their favorite Saiya-jin or Namekian. From the looks of the trailer, players get to go back in time (a’la History of/Trunks Saga) and face foes. There are a few recognizable characters so far (Goku, Vegeta and Trunks). Dragon Ball Online would give players an excuse to mimic a certain meme.

    @ Jamaipanese: Thanks for the website! I may consider DBO my replacement for WoW if it lives up to expectations, lol.

    @ BaseGuardian: It looks like a Namekian. I guess that’s what they look like drawn 18 years later (and without Toriyama-sensei?). Though his complexion is greener than Piccolo’s. Hmm…

    I just checked out a few other sources. Currently it doesn’t look like the game will be coming out anywhere but Japan and Korea, especially according to wiki and a few others. Hopefully it does, because I think it would be popular… I’d play it ;) lol.

  8. Dragon Ball Z online mode sounds too fun to be legal haha. I loved watching that series when I was younger and can’t wait for it to get more popular in the states.

    I remember hearing a beta version will be released in Japan in 2009 and in Korea this year, but no word on a worldwide release…That would be nice if they release it simultaneously with the movie. ^^
