Dragon Ball

2015 will be remembered as a really good year for Dragon Ball fans, with the release of the new anime series Dragon Ball Super and multiple video games featuring Son Goku, Vegeta and other characters from the popular series created by Akira Toriyama.

Later this year a really interesting fighting game based on the series is going to be released in North America and Europe on Nintendo 3DS. The game, Dragon Ball Z Extreme Butoden, promises to be a really good game even for those who aren’t fans of Dragon Ball, as the game has been developed by the team behind other popular fighting games such as the Guilty Gear and BlazBlue series, Arc System Works.

A few days ago a Dragon Ball Z Extreme Butoden playable demo has been made available on the North American 3DS eShop, featuring a variety of playable and support characters. If you cannot download the demo and just want to see how the game plays, you may want to check out a gameplay video taken from the demo which has surfaced online recently. You can take a look at the video right below.

Dragon Ball Z Extreme Butoden comes with plenty of Z-Assist character that can be summoned during a match to keep the combo going and more. Some of these characters aren’t available from the start and have to be unlocked in a variety of ways, such as Yakon, who can only be unlocked through a special promotion now available in Japan. We don’t know if these characters will be unlocked straight away in the Western release, but we will definitely hear more about the matter very soon.

Dragon Ball Z Extreme Butoden is now available in Japan exclusively on Nintendo 3DS. The game will be released later this year in North America and Europe.

Disney Speedstorm, Gameloft’s free-to-play kart racer, will enter its latest season with a wintery backdrop of Arendelle. Let It Go will add Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, and Hans as racers. As always, they’ll have unique moves and abilities.

Oaken and other musical movie crew members will be unlocked, along with a new Golden Pass. After fan feedback, the developer is rebalancing this aspect of the release so you can progress faster and unlock more rewards.

The developer also announced on Twitter that it’s lowering in-game shop prices starting today, and if you’ve paid for microtransactions, you’ll get a big payout. The French studio appears to be betting on this season’s success.

Adding non-Frozen characters Oswald, Ortensia, and WALL-E could also help. A comprehensive game update should bring back lapsed players and attract new ones. Will you challenge the kart racer?

New Destiny 2 Microtransaction Is Bad Bungie Removed It from PS5, PS4

Bungie has pulled a contentious $15 starter pack from Season of the Wish, which launched yesterday. The pack had a poor selection and was marketed to new players, which the community strongly opposed.

The starter pack proudly stated that players could “experience the power of build-defining Exotic weapons by instantly unlocking three of Destiny 2’s finest: Traveler’s Chosen, Ruinous Effigy, and Sleeper Simulant.” An exotic ship, a sparrow, a ghost shell, 125,000 glimmer, 50 enhancement cores, five enhancement prisms, and one ascendant shard are also included.

This offering may seem harmless to a new player, but Forbes’ Paul Tassi says, “You sort of have to be a Destiny 2 player to understand what an outrageously bad deal this is.” The Forsaken Pack, another Bungie release, includes two dozen Exotics, a dungeon, and a raid. It cost $20 and is now $5. It looks bad, from what we can tell.

Guardians retaliated with negative Steam reviews. They orchestrated the DLC page to include “Capitalism,” “Crime,” and “Psychological Horror” user tags, which is funny.

After Bungie pulled the pack, Redditor Grizz3d summarized the community response: “I don’t get how that starter pack was approved. What part of stealing from new players wasn’t going to result in community outrage? Bungie’s disconnect with players is shocking. I’m glad you got rid of the pack, but it’s disappointing that Bungie thought it was a good idea.”

This follows the Witcher 3 crossover armour sets, which look great but are expensive. Sony’s independent live service outpost is in danger due to a delayed expansion and studio layoffs.

Sony announced last year that it would plant trees for Horizon Forbidden West PlayStation fans who unlocked a simple trophy in the open-world game. This, in partnership with several charities, sought to protect the global environment and biodiversity.

Over a year later, it released a trailer showing its progress. The company has planted 600,000 trees worldwide, restoring 1,800 acres. More importantly, the gaming industry has planted 2.5 million trees worldwide.

Gaming is fun, but we must protect our world. Sony has taken steps to be more environmentally friendly, such as adding energy-saving features to the PS5 and shipping all its products in fully recyclable packaging.
