In extremely surprising news, it sounds like an upcoming DragonBall video game will see some new, traditional 2D animation. Our favorite Toei employee and in-between animator "Wasted Wisher" (who let us all know about Kai weeks before it was officially announced) popped over on our forum to say they will be working on approximately 30 minutes of new animation for a video game. There is no word on exactly which game that will be, but TAG VS and Raging Blast 2 are the only known upcoming games at the moment.

Hey, folks. Wasted Wisher here, and it's been a while since I was last here.
So, I reckon that there's going to be a new Dragonball game coming out, not that I can get in on the fun since I don't have any of the current-gen game systems yet (still on my PS2, which I still love).
Thing is, our studio has been told recently that they'll be given some work for new Dragonball animation...about thirty minutes worth of new animation. I was told that these were for some videogame, but I don't know which.
Most of the work will be for the key animators, but I certainly hope some it trickles down to the in-between animators so I can get my hands on it. They've already passed around some scenes from the new Digimon and Hannah Montana series and I still haven't been able to draw anything from these shows.
