Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection

A big announcement for anyone who loved the old DBZ PS2 games (and thankfully not the 3D Tenkaichi games...), both Dragon Ball Z Budokai 1 and Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 are being remastered into HD and put together on a single disc, called Dragon Ball Z HD Collection. Oddly, there is an obvious lack of DBZ Budokai 2, but the developers at Namco Bandai had said that these 2 games were the 'fan favourites' of the series and were therefore the only ones remade into HD.

The games are due to be released on both the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360 this Winter in both the European and American markets. Thankfully, for the trophy/achievement hunters amongst you (you know who you are!) the game will support both of these reward systems. I personally hope there are a few trophies for the power struggles, as that was one of my favourite additions to DBZ Budokai 3.

Finally, for your enjoyment here is the announcement video from Gamespot, which includes quite a few fan-questions, along with a Goku vs Gohan battle between the developers at the end!

UK Anime & Manga Releases - 16th July 2012 to 22nd July 2012

Hello again friends!! Apologies for the LONG hiatus, but between moving house and not having the internet changed over for a good few weeks I have barely had the time to blog recently, but at least now that things have calmed down a little i can get back in to blogging again!

And why not start off again with a 'weekly releases' post, one of my favourite posts and generally one of the most read posts on this blog.

Only two anime releases this week, but they are some fairly big releases. On the manga side of the releases we have quite a large amount of reading material this week, which also includes a couple of the more popular series' for the Shonen Jump fans out there.

Without further ado, here are this weeks new releases:

UK Anime & Manga Releases - 11/06/2012 to 17/06/2012

It's that time of the week again where we have a look at all the new releases coming to you in the following week.

Once again, there are only a couple of anime releases this week, one of those being a 'complete collection' release and the other being a movie release. Other than that, quite a large amount of manga coming out this week, so plenty to read once again!

Without further ado, here are the new releases for this week:

Dragon Ball Z Kinect Trailer

"Finally, a blog post" I hear you say, and this is one blog post that I really cannot show any enthusiasm for as I personally think it looks ridiculous, but I would love to hear your opinions on the subject.

A trailer has been posted for the Xbox 360 exclusive Dragon Ball Z Kinect game, due to be released in October in both Europe and North America. You control the game with your body movements, throwing punches and holding a guard being the main two motions shown in the trailer, but disappointly does not show how to throw a Kamehameha...

Here is the trailer, then followed by my opinion on the game:

UK Anime & Manga Releases - 04/06/2012 to 10/06/2012

Once again, I am SOOOO sorry for not posting as regularly as normal at the moment, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel as the repairs appear to have been completed on our laptop so I should be back to normal once we get it back (it should be delivered to the store on Wednesday).

Anyway....

It's that time of the week again where we have a look at the new releases coming to you this week.

It's another Shonen Jump fan week again, with two big releases coming from one of the biggest series' in that publication, and is also one that I need to start collecting along with the manga (i already have the first 3 volumes in one book, just waiting for the next one to be delivered).

Without further ado, here are the new releases for this week:
