Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo, released in Japan as Dragon Ball: World's Greatest Adventure (ドラゴンボール天下一大冒険, Doragon Bōru Tenkaichi Daibōken), is a video game based on the anime and manga series Dragon Ball. It was developed by Media.Vision and published by Namco Bandai under the Bandai label. It was released in Japan on July 23, 2009. It will be released in Europe sometime in Autumn, in North America sometime in the fourth quarter, sometime in 2009 in Australia.[3]

The game is a platformer that allows players, to take control of series protagonist Son Goku who must stop the Red Ribbon Army organization and, in later parts of the game, Piccolo Daimao from collecting the mythical Dragon Balls to achieve their goal of world domination.

Gameplay

Development

Players can battle with a basic or mêlée combat system. The two meters on the top left hand corner represent health and ki, while the on right represent Zeni just collected.

The game was first announced in the May issue of V Jump magazine. The article featured screenshots revealed that the game would be a platformer, and it would focus on both the Red Ribbon Army and Piccolo Daimao story arcs. Another screenshot demonstrated a few of the features with the Wiimote.[4] A few weeks later Namco Bandai's European branch would issue a statement that they would release the game throughout Europe. It also stated that the game would feature the original series music and voice overs, an unlockable VS mode, and a release date sometime in Autumn.[5]

On June 2, Namco Bandai's US branch issued a statement announcing that they would also be distributing the game as Revenge of King Piccolo throughout North America. They also would mention about the game's controls such as the Wiimote and Nunchuk's ability to issue combos and execute various ki attacks like the Kamehameha, that the game would feature an RPG element that would let the player use Zeni to buy items to help power-up Goku, and a release date sometime in the Fall season.[6]
