Dragonball Z: Battle of Gods – The 3 Billion Yen Saiyan

It seems that Dragonball Z fans aren’t the only ones excited for the theatrical release of the newest film Battle of Gods. Being the first Dragonball Z movie in over 17 years, the film has Toei hopeful that they can earn 3 billion yen (roughly $30.2 Australian) over the course of the theatrical release. The film has a large backing from a number of companies who are supporting it through promotional tie-ins and products, such as KFC’s range of Dragonball themed food, in order to gain further attention. Pre-sale tickets also grant Japanese fans a QR code, which allows them to face the God of Destruction himself in the 3DS game Dragonball Heroes: Ultimate mission.

The film itself was completed on February 18th and received positive reviews from those allowed to view it. Battle of Gods will be released on March 30th in Japan and its theatrical release is planned to run for 6 weeks. Previous anime film, One Piece Z, broke amassed earnings of 3.1 billion yen in a matter of ten days, furthering hope that over six weeks Dragonball Z can do the same.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 has been out for only one day and it has already shipped over half a million copies! One day! This is awesome news for the One Piece team! This is awesome news for all us One Piece fans too! Well done guys! Wait, let me dial back for just one second…this is strictly Japanese shipments…it has ONLY been released in Japan at this point in time and, in-case you’ve already forgotten, was released yesterday. Let that sink in for a second.

In terms of Pirate Warriors sales the first game, at launch, had over 650,000 copies shipped and that number doubled over it’s initial run by hitting about 1.2 million copies. There’s no wonder they’ve made and released a second game so closely to the first being released.

Ok, yes, Pirate Warriors 2 is a little behind but that’s if you are comparing it to Pirate Warriors 1, think about it in terms of game sales in general, this game is kicking butt and you know what? I think it’s gonna kick even more butt once it hits foreign shores.

Keep your wide, anime eyes on this one, as I highly doubt it’s going to fail us!

You can see the first English trailer here and check it this games awesome pre-order pack here!

If you assumed that every future game release would come with a season pass of some kind, you would probably be correct a lot more than you would be wrong. Anyways, it has just been announced that Injustice: Gods Among Us will be given the season pass treatment.

The pass, which costs $14.99 or 1200 MSP depending on where you buy it, will give players access to four currently unannounced DLC characters in the future as well as alternate costumes for Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Deathstroke.

This is actually the first time that the company has said that there will be DLC characters for Injustice, but given the nature of the industry it should be expected. To go along with the reveal today, the company also provided official screenshots for Black Adam and Raven, both of which were previously revealed over the last few days.

The long time coming Dragon’s Crown has just been given it’s longest trailer yet and boy is it a treat. The video shows off the unique art style that the game will contain as well as a decent amount of actual gameplay footage from the four person brawler. Sort of helps that the art style means that the female character designs are packing some rather impressive assets.

It seems that Dragon’s Crown is set to be released in Japan on July 25th with some sort of limited edition artbook, but currently no Western release date has been set outside of sometime this year.
