Dragon Ball: Fusions

Bandai Namco officially announced Dragon Ball Fusions for the west earlier today, and GameSpot has now shared some off-screen footage from the English build. Watch it below.

This was to be expected based on the initial trailer and short localization, but Dragon Ball Fusions does not appear to have a dub. Bandai Namco is translating everything into English, though the voices will remain in Japanese.

Update: This is also available on Amazon in the United States showing the same information (thanks Daniel S).


Original: If you needed any further evidence that Dragon Ball Fusions is being localized, look no further than Amazon Canada. The retailer has the game up on its website along with a December 13 release date (which could be final, but may also be tentative).

We first heard about Dragon Ball Fusions coming west after a listing was found within Brazil’s classification system. And just a few days ago, GameStop started taking in-store pre-orders. An official announcement should be made very soon.

Here’s the information about Dragon Ball Fusions included on Amazon’s Canada:

Dragon Ball: Fusions might be Bandai Namco’s worst-kept secret at the moment. Even though it was largely thought that the game would be heading west following a leak from a classification in Brazil, extremely strong evidence has appeared which further backs up that initial finding.

GameStop stores are now taking pre-orders for Dragon Ball: Fusions under the SKU 133501. It looks to be a $30 game, similar to that of last year’s Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden. If we weren’t getting Fusions in North America (and Europe), it probably wouldn’t be in GameStop’s system – and up for pre-order.

Bandai Namco may have an official announcement to make about Dragon Ball: Fusions in the coming days.

In August, Bandai Namco said that the developers of Dragon Ball: Fusions were planning free updates for the game. We now have a few more details about what’s in store.

In the first update due sometime this fall, Fusions will be adding online play. Players can go online with friends and random people, trade, and look up leaderboards.

We had also previously heard about a new stage on the way. This is known as “Jikuukan Radar”, which will be able to pick up on Wi-Fi so long as the feature is turned on through your actual 3DS. Characters to battle will appear here, and you’ll be able to make friends with some rare ones.

Dragon Ball: Fusions is likely receiving localization. As spotted by Gematsu, the Brazil Advisory Rating Board has rated Bandai Namco and Ganbarion’s 3DS title.

Dragon Ball: Fusions debuted in Japan earlier this month. If Bandai Namco has anything to say about bringing the title west officially, we’ll let you know.

Bandai Namco and Ganbarion still have more in store for Dragon Ball: Fusions. After the initial launch earlier in the month, free updates are in the works.

Dragon Ball: Fusions’ first update is planned for the fall. A new stage will be added, which features space-time rifts when Wi-Fi waves are found.

Dragon Ball: Fusions recently made its way to Japan. The new 3DS game comes from Bandai Namco and Ganbarion, the latter company of which created Pandora’s Tower.

Dragon Ball: Fusions appears to be seeing a good reception in Japan thus far. With Famitsu for instance, it reviewed highly. It earned a score of 33 points out of 40 from four editors – individual scores of “8”, “8”, “8”, and “9”.

We’ve now prepared a translation of Famitsu’s review. Continue on below to read it in full.

Etrian Odyssey V was the best-selling title during the week of August 1 in Japan. During its first four days on the market, the game sold 92,500 units.

Media Create now notes that Etrian Odyssey V sold through 75.84 percent of its initial shipment. The series’ previous entry, Etrian Odyssey IV, sold 96,000 copies with a sell-through rate of 75.68 percent in its first week. Given these numbers, Media Create says the new title is off to a good start.

Dragon Ball: Fusions is another 3DS game that debuted in Japan last week. It did pretty well, having moved around 75,000 units. When compared with other Dragon Ball releases on 3DS – Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission 2 (73,000 first week; lifetime 277,000) and Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden (72,000 first week; 174,000 lifetime), Fusions managed to outperform both despite being different genres.
