What they should have done was had an actual dang martial artist, even a kid one. There are huge kung fu schools for kids in China. Get one of them.

And then rfilyaw was the racists.

really the dbz fanbase and the kinect userbase intersect so nicely this thing will sell a billion copies

The saddest part is that you're right.

No wait that's not the saddest part.

The saddest part is that this intersection isn't kids, it's guys in their 20s.

If I had a kinect, I'd probably get it. It would be good exercise. It might not be as terrible as the commercial

Javen

Well the kinect is a terrible piece of hardware in general. It makes sense that most of the hardware that supports it is equally terrible

Kuribo's Shoe

well my favorite dbz games were the ones on the wii

Nooooope.

The Kinect is pretty dang awesome and a lot of developers are doing really cool things with it now that they have worked a fair share of the kinks out.

SimBen

Well it looks hells better than Kinect Star Wars, that's for sure.

I mean at least the fighting in DBZ is fists-based. You don't feel like you should be holding a stick or something.

And hopefully there's no dancing minigame in this one.

if I don't get to do the fusion dance, preorder cancelled

the best thing about that gif is the two different expressions the kid has

they took two different stills of him why did they do that

SimBen

Steel Battalion looks like the only Kinect game I'd ever possibly want to play, honestly.

And part of why it looks awesome is that it's clearly a game where they wanted to make it a game before they wanted to stick some stupid Kinect features in.

rfilyaw

That's the thing I always envisioned from Kinect, but I haven't seen any games that actually do it (whether or not they exist, I've not seen them)

And that is actually punching your opponent in front of you as you face the kinect. Some of them actually have you turned to the side, which is awful.

No way, now it totally needs a dancing minigame because you said that.

Man that gigantic control panel is the best Steel Battalion is going to get, mark my words.

The kinect has done a really bad job at convincing people to prefer motion controls in lieu of conventional controllers.

Kuribo's Shoe

the best thing about the kinect is voice commands

if only I could tell it to start something without that thing being on the screen

Okay you just reversed my opinion on this. I want it now.

I think that adding a dancing minigame to any kinect game can only approve it.

That game has an amazing training effect: one day of playing adds an additional one year of virginity to your life.

Well, i'm gonna be contrary and say 'cyan' is a better pronunciation than 'sayin' anyway.

And I think that's the regular dub narrator, but I don't watch funimation dubs because they're all crap.

Their One Piece dub is fucking fantastic. Completely redeems the 4Kids garbage.

Oh man, Vinny's going to play this on the quicklook and his baby's going to go back into the womb. He'll have to start all over again!

I dunno the idea of a DBZ Kinect game seems more apropos to Kinect's abilities than most other things

Now, do you have to grunt and scream to power up?

I would be offended if you didn't

Moriveth

Also, do you have to do it for 20-40 minute periods?

Do you get to make your own hackneyed speeches?

SimBen

You need to charge up your spirit bomb for a full week in order to defeat Freeza.

rfilyaw

well except Goku didn't defeat Freeza

NERDDDD

(i know you weren't saying he did. just... just wanted to say something dumb.)

LockedOnTarget

But Goku did defeat him.

I mean yeah he was technically alive but I'd say the state he was left in counts as "defeated".

rfilyaw

I guess since we're talking about DBZ...

I would argue that, since Freeza's dad came and picked him up and put prosthetics all over him, he was still as alive as ever until he came to start trouble on Earth and Trunks killed him.

But it's semantics. Let's just say he was defeated twice

PaperLuigi44

I love that the boxart for that DBZ game is Goku and co. in the living room, presumably about to play their own game.

Bucketman

That DBZ Kinect games looks like Mocap Boxing in the arcade.

If they did a Kinect DBZ fighting game right, I would play the shit out of it. Kamahamahing all over the place

I really can't think of a better thing to have as my morning alarm than Galo Sengen.

oh yes, if I'm not shouting and fusion dancing and naming my moves as I use them this game is a failure

I want it to be stupid as hell

LockedOnTarget

Some of the DBZ games for the Wii were actually pretty fun. You got to do the motions for the moves and stuff.

Kuribo's Shoe

they were the best

using motions to do moves was really intuitive

and I fucking HATE wii games

that said, this will probably not be like that

rfilyaw

I want to get a Wii, and I probably will, but the only games I want are ones without motion control. To clarify, it's not that I have anything against motion controls, but I have yet to see a game I'd want to use them in except for maybe Resident Evil 4 as a light gun, and even then, I think I'd rather play it with a classic.

Patrick sings the praises of Skyward Sword's motion controls, but I can't imagine it being that fun if the enemies are all "Oh, look where my hand is. I'm taking my time so you can swipe your controller in the right direction."
