Dragon Ball FighterZ is easily one of the best fighting games currently available on the Nintendo Switch. Unlike many other third-party ports, this one makes no technical comprises. About the only downside is the fact a number of characters have been locked behind a paywall from day one. Even then, this content has still added some extra life to the game.
With this in consideration, there's a rumour floating about FighterZ could potentially receive a second season of DLC characters. According to our colleagues over at PushSquare, Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe's official YouTube channel has been acknowledging user comments requesting another batch of DLC fighters.
The channel has thumbed up these types of comments and replied to certain others. In one response, Bamco's European account even says the following: "Save the date (26/27 January) for the Dragon Ball FighterZ World Tour Finals stream on Twitch." It seems like something is going to be announced then.
Would you like to see more DLC fighters for Dragon Ball FighterZ? How about a sequel? Tell us below.

Hah, what a useless transformation. You've changed your game balance, so what!?
Bandai Namco: And this! Is meant to... go on! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
As long as I get Janemba, I’m cool
The top tier fighter they NEED to include!
Yajirobe for the win.
Regardless of what you think about DLC, more DBFZ can't possibly be a bad thing.
Lend Goku your...invitations?
Smash! SMASH! SMAAAAAAASH!
Jiren is coming.
Gotta milk Dragon Ball for every last yen and penny they can.
Hopefully at a reasonable price tag. I kind of felt ripped off on the first set we got at $35.
I want Super Baby Vegeta and SS4 Goku!
I'm already wanting as second season of Smash DLC.
I hope this is true. I'll buy more DLC. This game is dope.
I know they’re not exactly fan favourites, but I want to see 19 and Gero appear, even if one assists the other. Given the story, it’d be appropriate for more androids to pop up.
@WaveBoy This is your opinion, and does not reflect the view of other people. Forgive people for having differing views without going on some pendantic, bitter and belittling rant. I enjoy the representation of both new and old. I'm fully with you on first form cell though.
Jeice just for the accent.
@WaveBoy super might have its faults in some areas but its gotten better at tournament of power and the new broly movie.
@WaveBoy Aight, I see where you're coming from. I just don't know enough about anime, personally, but have enjoyed a handful of the artists you've mentioned. Is there not ANY modern standouts? It seems strange to me that there would not be some outliers, somewhere. I don't dig about, personally. I enjoyed DBS, and found the animation improved. I do prefer DBZ though.
On a sidenote, I saw Castle of Cagliostro for the first time and wow...really loved it.
I got tired of waiting for a complete edition all fighting games end up having and bought the vanilla version on Xbox One for less than 11 euros. I'll grab the fighters packs when I find them cheap and that will be my strategy with the second pack too. But of course there will be one.
@WaveBoy Akira was animated with western (movie) conditions in mind, meaning full 24 frames per second and with the whole body getting redrawn for each frame.
Japan isn't used to seeing that, hence why it has never been done again in Anime, as these are created for a Japanese market and doing movies this way is more expensive than useful for that market.
Also, there is still good Anime today. Like Death Note, Eureka Seven or Paprika from the 00s, but also Psycho Pass, Erased, Attack on Titan, (Modern) HunterxHunter or Haikyuu would be examples for good anime of today (each for different reasons, I admit).
One Punch Man also might have a silly vibe and is over the top (it's a parody after all) , but it has some of the best animated fight scenes I've ever seen. You really feel the weight of every punch. Something I didn't feel in any of the first six DBZ "movies". (The series and the some movies like Broly's First and Fusion were a lot better though!)
I also think "Drifters: Battle in a new World" has some nice animation in there, but I have only seen 3 episodes as of yet, so I hold my horses there. I heard diffeirng opinions, one of them being it loses steam later on.
The "All cartoon masters of America are dead" is also just cynical and blinded by nostalgia goggles. Genndy Tartakovsky, Andreas Deja and Dean DeBlois are great examples of mainstream animators who are still alive and kicking, and there's more newcomers you could have a look for, though it's hard to tell since animation is more of a team effort.
Adult cartoons are also having a reneissance right now, and I am looking forward to projects like the anthology "Love, Death and Robots" that will be produced by David Fincher and Tim Miller.
But we're getting WAY off topic here, so I'll leave it at that with my two cents.
1: Broly and SSGSS Gogeta
2: Jiren and Kelfa
3: Bojack and Janemba
4: Raditz and Turles
I just got the game for christmas and it is AWESOME! Super satisfying to play. I might grab the first pass eventually, and the second when I see value in that.
@WaveBoy I did not say the animation was super, ahaha! I meant that it improved over the duration of DBS. I am 27, and do not have the background knoweldge you possess.
@WaveBoy Now you're just confusing things. Read my comment again. Carefully. You will realize that - unlike you - I didn't belittle your taste in old Anime. I like them too.
The nostalgia comment was solely related to your "there's no new cartoon masters" comment. If you had bothered to look any of the name's up that I listed, you would have realized that all of them (with th exception of DeBlois maybe, but he comes from a 2D background) regularly put out traditional drawn-on-paper animation. All of them were former Disney Animators from the Renaissance Era. Glen Keane, Richard Williams and Eric Goldberg are also some to look out for, though I think they - especially the latter two - count as old masters.
The only difference is the ever-growing Hollywood machine doesn't like risks, so traditional animation is mostly indie stuff nowadays or small-scale productions. I hope Sergio Pablos' "Klaus" (yes, this is 2D Animation) will change that... if they ever get enough funding to finish a feature.
To emphasize my point: I have NOTHING against liking the old. Not in the slightest!
But what I can't stand is when people belittle or even insult the taste of others by pretending they are more educated just because they know some old stuff - while in reality they are just closing themselves off. In the end it's still a subjective opinion like anyone else's, the only difference is it's easier to debate for the one that defends the old stuff, because people discussed all the pros and cons decades ago and the one defending it just has to repeat them.
I'm all about exchanging your tastes in a respectful discussion. It's important to learn from what has come before. But if you are not open to innovation as well, you're missing out. And when one even goes as far as insulting people for liking Rock'n'Roll, with a reason like "they are dumb when they think there was anything good after Mozart", then I automatically assume they are nothing but pretentious hipsters.
I'm not saying you are like those people... but in this discussion, you do bring a lot of this negative attitude into the discussion, especially when the actual arguments you had dissolve into mindless rants and insults. It makes it really hard to take your points serious, even when many of them were fair and sound.
