If you've been admiring the footage of Dragon Ball DS, then perk up: it's headed outside Japan this winter. According to a press release from Atari, the game will hit U.S. shelves in November under the title Dragon Ball: Origins, with Europe to follow in December. We expect a few people will peeking under a certain skirt around the holidays.We've got new screens, too! Check 'em out below. Look now and get bonus character portraits, just because we care.

You're all really that confident that the naughty jokes are going to be left in for the international release? This is, for me, however, undoubtedly the best release news in weeks. I never thought it would happen, but I guess there's a silver lining to that hideous sewage pool of a Dragonball movie coming out.

I totally agree. I can't wait for this game just as much as I can't wait NOT to see the steaming pile that is "Dragon Ball the Movie"

I can't get over how detailed and crisp those character models are.

I'm not a Dragonball fan, but this game looks really good. I'm glad it's coming to NA. I mean, we've already got 57,349 Dragon Ball Z games anyway....

the graphics look like a knock-off of final fantasy 3 graphics and i'll be mad if the gameplay is knock off too

You're in desperate need of some horizon-broadening, kid. So any DS game featuring slightly super-deformed 3D polygonal characters navigating some manner of overworld is a ripoff of FFIII? Phantom Hourglass, Avalon Code, Tales of Innocence, and dozens of other adventure games and RPGs really, really disagree with you.

Remember, you're only cool if you saw the original live-action Dragonball movie.

Krillin's character model reeeaally bothers me to look at; prolly the squinted, asshole-ic eyes. Still, "H" comic right thar, heh. Also: DB Chichi > DBZ Chichi; long live teh loliz. IN contrast, Launch/Lunch/whatever is not enticing and the blue-haired mole-endowed girl (is that L[a]unch's un-alter-ego?) is a turn-off.
Anyway, seems interesting, but not really on my radar due to not having one in the first place. DS = Dragon-dar, games = Dragon Ball, me = HFIL for not having job/munnies to get either...

That mole endowed girl is not Launch. It's Ranfan, she was only in a couple of episodes.

one thing must be clear... yes, there's dozens of DBZ games, but really not as many DB games. the two series, besides being prequel/sequel to one another are very different.
i've NEVER been a DBZ fan. i've always thought it was too long, boring, with a plot that never went anywere.
but DB was one of my favorites animes as a kid. it's just hilarious.
so, i'm looking foward for this one...
