In news that would definitely spell excitement for fans of the Japanese anime series, Dragon Ball Z for Kinect has been officially announced by Namco Bandai Games to be gearing up for an October 2012 release. Said to contain all the action and intensity of the classic franchise, this game will proffer players with over one hundred moves that they can unleash by making use of the Kinect accessory for the Xbox 360.
The offering is in its creation phase as of now, with the development duties being carried out by Spike Chunsoft. It will comprise fan-favorite characters, famous attacks and epic battles that have been re-created based on the original series. More than fifty playable characters as well as an entirely new character have been revealed to form part of the title. Using the Kinect sensor’s QR code functionality, gamers will be able to make use of special codes to unlock characters and power-ups in the game.
Carlson Choi, Vice President of Marketing, Namco Bandai Games, shared, “There’s going to be no better feeling in the world for fans of the Dragon Ball Z series than standing in front of their screens and unleashing their own fists and raging blasts upon enemies with this game. The Kinect sensor has truly enabled the development team to finally realize the dreams of millions of fans of both the classic games and the timeless original anime. This game will truly represent the next generation of interactive entertainment in the Dragon Ball Z universe.”
A choice of two modes will be available for players to pick from. Both these modes – Story Mode and Score Attack, will allow them to experience the action from a first-person perspective. Battles will be fought with players moving in the same direction as their characters, and performing the same attacks or movements from a particular famous scene.
Availability details of Dragon Ball Z for Kinect are scarce as of now, except for the fact that it will hit stores sometime in October this year.
