DragonBall Heroes Exclusive First Look
VegettoEX @ 5:43 pm EDT -- Our buddy "Wasted Wisher" is sharing exclusive news and art with us yet again! Having previously outed DragonBall Kai, character designs from the Jump Super Anime Tour special and the upcoming Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans, along with much more... you can imagine we were psyched to see what else was coming our way.

That "something" is apparently called DragonBall Heroes:

It will have some kind of animation to go along with it, but we (unfortunately) really have no solid confirmation yet on what the darn thing is actually going to be:

A couple of days back I was surprised to some new stuff in our studio labeled "DB Heroes" (and a little miffed that I wasn't given any of it to work on). As of right now, I have very little clues as to exactly what DB heroes is. My best guess at this point is that it's an animated commercial for a new Dragonball-based card game of the same name.

Dragonball-themed ccg's are nothing new...I still have my Ani-Mayhem set (ahhh, Ani-Mayhem...)... but what stands out in DB Heroes is that aside from the usual name characters, there also appear to be new, generic Saiya-Jin character classes. There's "Hero style" (based on Goku, with a Saiya-jin tail), "Berserker style" (who looks like SSJ4 Vegeta but with no red body fur), and "Elite style" (who looks like a Saiya-jin version of Android 17).

The above artwork certainly suggests cards being involved in some capacity. Below is a gallery of all currently-available new character designs for whatever Heroes (and its commercial...?) will end up with:

It is important to note that in no way does DragonBall Heroes appear to be a new series or anything truly significant like that. Instead, we can probably expect a neat commercial to come alongside a new product in the relative near future (possibly a card game, as speculated by "Wasted Wisher"). Commercials with new animation are not strange to the franchise — many were featured on the first Japanese Dragon Box for the series for everyday products.

Whatever it may be, the new designs are very DragonBall Online-esque in their fresh takes on what would otherwise be pretty typical Akira Toriyama designs. It should be fun to keep tabs on whatever the final product ends up being.

As expected, it sounds like DragonBall Heroes will be a card-based arcade game coming soon in Japan.

Our buddy Kei17 passed us along a Japanese toy shop order form which lists the product as a "new-generation virtual card game", and tem-jump.com even lists it as coming this November as per their August 30th update... so technically this title slipped by all of us for a couple weeks!

It is expected to be a follow-up to the popular Dragon Battlers arcade series. Many cards for the games, which are based on the game engine from Dimps' DragonBall Z / Budokai series, have been included with products such as CD singles.

Finally time for an update on this.

Dragon Ball Heroes is a Japanese arcade-only game which allows personal character customization as well as the usage of characters from the original Dragon Ball series. The game uses a card based system but instead of buttons the player need to move the cards on the game board. The game offers 3 On 3 battles and has several characters new to the Dragon Ball world, all of which have Saiyan tails and look similar to charcters from the Dragon Ball universe.

Characters in the game include -
Super Saiyan 3 Future Trunks
Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta
Mighty Mask
King Vegeta
Supreme Kai
Hatchiyack
BUJIN
BIDO
GOKUA
Pui Pui
Spopovich
Yamu

Saiyan "Hero" (A boy who looks like Goku from Dragon Ball GT and hairstyle is like Super Saiyan Goten but hair is black)

Saiyan "Elite" (A boy who looks like Android 17)

Saiyan "Berserker" (A boy who looks like Vegeta, with Raditz's hair, and outfit similar to Broly's)

Saiyan "Heroine" (A Pan (GT) looking girl with Saiyan Hero's style outfit)

New character announcement: Super Saiyan Bardock!

Also, we may be getting a one-shot manga based on Super Saiyan Bardock... Enjoy that thought.

There are many similarities between Dragonball Heroes and the character creator in Ultimate Tenkaichi. Hmmm
