IDW Expand Their Dragon Ball License To Over 9000!!!!!
July 14, 2018 by dracs
IDW Games have announced that they are expanding their license with Toei Animation Inc. to develop new games for Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super.
IDW plan to support both brands with game releases through to 2021, including miniatures-based board games.
According to Jerry Bennington, IDW Publishing's Vice President of New Product Development, they are taking a different design focus for each brand.
“With Dragon Ball Super, we are developing games that will appeal to fans of all ages while our Dragon Ball Z offerings will be more focused on strategic depth of gameplay.”
The first two new Dragon Ball games are Dragon Ball Z: Over 9000 and Dragon Ball Super: Heroic Battle.
It's Over 9000!!!!!
Dragon Ball Z: Over 9000 is a bluffing and deduction game designed by Jon Cohn.
Players select iconic heroes and villains from the popular Dragon Ball Z series, and go head to head in order to be the first to get their power lever higher than the number that comes after 8999.
Engage in Heroic Battle
Dragon Ball Super: Heroic Battle is a token flicking game where players flick character tokens into their opponents.
You have the option to power up by using special flick attacks and send your enemies bouncing off of one another and special destructible terrain. Just like in the show!
Both games will be packaged in collectible tins, available this holiday season.
IDW's Dragon Ball Z Miniatures Game Powers Up
Perhaps most exciting is the announcement that IDW are working on a Dragon Ball Z miniatures game.
The plan is for the game to be released in 2019, with support from an extensive Kickstarter campaign.
All just in time for the 30th anniversary next year!

Neither of those two games look interesting. Besides DBZ fans also have option of DB Super CCG from Bandai that looks lot more interesting.
The minis game could be awesome but the sculpts must be near perfect and the better the game rules and system the better it will do. Many of us that love DBZ may jump in but if this is going to be more than a cash grab it will have to have some legs for longevity.
Is their not a card game out for dragon ball Z I think that may work better?
Personally when I see a game made by a 3rd party I never invest in it, unless its a stand alone game that needs no support such as DBZ monopoly.
I would never support a Dragonball miniatures game when its mentioned above that they only have till 2021. That implies they only have the licence till then and its over from then on.
