Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo Screens, European Release

The recently announced Dragonball title from Namco has been given a new subtile – ‘Revenge of King Poccolo’.

These new screenshots of the game in action really hold true to the original Dragonball design by Akira Toriyama, in fact we think it’s the nicest looking Dragonball game we’ve seen to date. If Namco Bandai can get the gameplay to match then we should have a winner on our hands.

Lastly Namco have confirmed a European release date of Autumn 2009. No mention yet of a North American date but it’s only a matter of time.
