Bandai Namco presented Dragon Ball Xenoverse once again at the Tokyo Game Show and for the most part the presentation was identical to their previous show except for one sneaky difference. The trailer showed at this presentation was an extended edition featuring two more minutes of footage including more story scenes, more customisation options (including a Yardrat outfit, Great Saiyaman costume and Ox King helmet) and just more epicness in general.
You can view the new extended trailer below and also check out our recent Dragon Ball Xenoverse article which covers a number of points in detail from new story elements, battle mechanics and more information about how the online hub world Toki Toki City works. You can also check out our extended coverage of all the news from Tokyo Game Show 2014by following the link.

Hello there fellow Planeswalkers. Are you ready to grab your banners, hold them high and fight for your clan? Well you should be because the latest Magic: The Gathering set; Khans of Tarkir is here! The official prerelease weekend for the upcoming set is happening, literally as we speak! The new set is based on the plane of Tarkir, which is organised into clans that are at constant war with one another. Each clan represents a specific three-colour combination to create a gameplay experience unique and different to anything else before it. No matter if you are an aggressive war machine, or a cunning strategist there is a clan waiting to accept you into its ranks.
Zurgo Helmsmasher, Khan of the Mardu Clan of Tarkir
So what are you waiting for!? Head down to your local game storeand register for one of this weekend’s prereleases events and get yourself some Khans of Tarkir cards before they hit store shelves next week. Maybe you will crack one of the Khans themselves, or get your hands on some of the sweet land reprints that will dominate magic for years to come. If you are already playing, or you went to a midnight release last night let us know in the comments below what awesome cards you managed to pull, and remember to stay tuned to Capsule Computers for all the awesome Magic: The Gathering news as it becomes available.
If you weren’t one of the lucky few to receive an early access demo from Nintendo last week your time has come. The demo for Super Smash Bros. 3DS is now up on the eShop and available for everyone to download right now.
The demo is fairly limited but does feature 5 playable characters including 3 veterans Mario, Link, Pikachu as well as two brand new fighters in Mega Man and Villager. Battlefield is the only stage available however you can switch between its normal and ‘omega’ form, which will remove all the platforms and also turn off items for the match. All matches are 2 minute time matches but you can play with up to 4 people. Fighting against the CPU and local multiplayer via wireless is supported. Here’s a small secret not many people know about the demo, if you hold R during the stage select screen you will get a song from Melee playing instead of the usual Battlefield theme!
I have played a few matches of the demo so far and while initially I had a hard time coming to grasp with the controls, I soon got that under control. I am very impressed by the smoothness of the gameplay and the visual quality the game offers, it looks amazing on the 3DSXL. So jump on the e-Shop, download the demo and drop us a comment letting us know your opinions on it. We have included the QR code below which you can scan with your 3DS camera to initiate the demo download. Hold L + R at the main menu on your 3DS to activate camera mode and then tap the QR scan button on the bottom screen to scan the code.
Battlefield: Hardline is the upcoming installment to EA’s immensely popular Battlefield franchise and it looks to be shaking up the generic “soldiers at war” format quite a bit. Forgoing traditional war zones for the urban sprawl of cops and robbers, Hardline looks to be grittier and hopefully fresher than before. One of the new game-types that Hardline is presenting is the new Hotwire mode that puts you behind the wheels of a fast car, with your gun at your side. High speed chases are the name of the game here, with the cops trying to outmaneuver and outgun the criminals using a combination of solid FPS tactics and a bit of Need for Speed thrown in.
EA have put up a short video that shows off the mode, so check it out below. You can also check out 12 minutes of single player footage here. Battlefield: Hardline is set for release next year, so make sure you stay tuned to Capsule Computers for all the news and updates as they become available.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse is quickly becoming the most hyped Dragon Ball game of all time and with the latest trailer and details released from Bandai Namco at TGS it’s not hard to see why. We now have a few more details on the story and some new characters, how the online hub world will work and more details about the battle system.
Continuing the strong link between this game and Dragon Ball Online, even more characters are being brought forward from that game. Towa and Mirra, a husband and wife team and also the main villians of DBO are returning here and play a very interesting role. As known before, your custom character will travel back in time to key moments in Dragon Ball history, however now we know you will be fixing the events of history that are changed due to the actions of these new villians. One key example is when the villians take control of Raditz so he avoids Piccolo’s Special Beam Cannon altogether meaning Goku still dies but Raditz lives. It will be up to you to fix this course of events and restore the rightful course of history. Many more moments like this can be expected throughout the story.
The Supreme Kai of Time and Toki Toki Bird are another pair of new characters joining the cast, however there role in the story is still unknown. In the trailer below we can see the story will cover at least the entirety of the Z saga as well as the Bardock TV special. Scans courtesy of Kanzenshuu.
A new addition in Xenoverse is the hub world of Toki Toki City and we finally got some video footage of it to show us what it’s all about. In what looks very similar to Destiny’s hub world, players will be able to interact with other online players, pull off dance moves and poses, change costumes and go shopping for new outfit parts and items all in a free roaming environment. The outfit variety looks just as impressive as the character creator and some keen eyed users even spotted some items from Dragon Ball GT. Frieza’s race was also confirmed to be one of the races you can make a character of in a recent scan and the latest video showed how you can change the skin tone and body types of existing race types to make them look like other characters, showing off a very good impersonation of the Ginyu force.
If that wasn’t cool enough, it was confirmed that there are offline multiplayer battles of at least the 1 vs 1 variety and that there will be 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, 3 vs 3 and even one vs many fights present in the game. In offline mode, the camera will focus on both characters as opposed to being split screen in similar fashion to the Naruto Storm series. The battle mechanics look very improved from the last time we saw them, with characters throwing punches and teleporting behind their opponents at great speed. Combos are present and so is chasing down your opponent and slamming them into the ground followed by a barrage of ki blast. Jumping, throwing and firing multiple ki blast are also confirmed as are two melee buttons in the form of strong and weak attack buttons (bound to triangle and square on the PS4 control). The melee clash from previous Dimps games is back and has both characters furiously attacking each other and then doing a back flip to reset their positions. New stages seen include the plains stage, World Tournament and Kami’s Lookout.
The game seems to be catering to all types of Dragon Ball fans, from those who like custom characters and team battles to those who like a more hardcore fighting system. Dragon Ball Xenoverse has a confirmed Japanese release date of early 2015. Be sure to check out the trailer at the very bottom of this article and some of the most recent gameplay videos straight out of Tokyo Game Show 2014 showcasing the hub world and tons of battle footage.
