The game was played live on stage by Producer Ryosuke Hara.

We get to see the newly-revealed playable character Piccolo for the first time. At the beginning of the first video, he squares off against  Tien and Chiaotzu, who appear in the game as support characters.

A second video (which wasn’t played live) shows an iconic scene with Piccolo fighting against Gohan in great ape form.

You can check the videos out below, and some additional images at the bottom of the post.


This provides a very good look at the battle systems and at the mechanics.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
