I thought I would write a quick article clearing up DragonBall Online release date misconceptions for America/Europe. So here goes.
This week a member of our community posted a thread stating that Dragonball Online is not on Namco Bandai’s 2010 games release list, see thread here. This information is correct and Namco Bandai is the official international publisher for Dragonball Online.
Of course this was very disappointing news. I emailed Namco Bandai America to see if they would comment on the matter.
Namco Bandai America replied:
“We currently have the Dragonball Online release date as TBA 2010.”
Good news, or is it?
I also found an interesting Q&A dated 27th of November 2009 with the CJ Internet’s CEO (Mr. Koji Takamiya) commenting on a World Wide Release for Dragonball Online.
Koji, CEO
Koji “Well we first plan to release Dragonball Online to Japan and we have just signed a publisher for Taiwan. As for a world wide release, this will depend on the game’s success in Korea and Japan.”
So it appears that there is currently no plans on releasing Dragonball Online to America/Europe until the success of the game is measured in Japan and Korea, despite what Namco Bandai America stated.

to Vancer:
Dragonball online will 100% come worldwide because every human mind has three properties: – Every human is selfish – Every human is lazy – Every human is greedy. Let’s take a look at the third property: every human is greedy. If the Open Beta doesn’t work out in Japan and taiwan, you think they will just call it quit and throw away 5 years of hard work for nothing? (See 2nd property) No they won’t. They will just release it somewhere else, maybe for a smaller price, or they will improbe the game to try again. That just IF things work out like I estimate. But… DBZ never fails and never will fail. Those japanese kids will definetly play DBO and they will definetly like it because if they wouldn’t, then DBZ wouldn’t be as famous as it is today.

)

Had it not been named Dragon Ball Z Online but with the same game play, lets put it that way, this game’s recognition would be as mediocre to other online games. But c’mon just like any other classic song, this anime was kept by many in their hearts and minds until now. I’m sure that this game would be a big hit once it’s release globally.
