The month of April just got a little bit busier, with the Bandai Namco's "Dragon Ball Games Super Showcase" live stream confirming Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission will arrive on the Nintendo Switch here in the west on 5th April. As previously revealed, Japan will receive the game on 4th April.
This Dragon Ball themed arcade card game series - Heroes - has been running for around eight years in Japan and the latest console entry developed by Dimps and published by Bandai Namco will include 1,160 cards and 350 characters. This release spans the entire series from Dragon Ball, Z, GT to Super and includes new and original characters, with more to be announced in the future. There'll also be online and local one verse one multiplayer matches.
The game world in Heroes takes on a similar style to the Xenoverse series, where you control your own avatar and fight alongside well-known Dragon Ball characters. The story, like Xenoverse, is also set in the Time Patroller universe. Find out more about what the game has to offer in the trailer below:

Glad to see this finally being localized. Maybe now I'll finally get some semblance of an idea of what the actual game is like.
This is cool! I'm going to definetly get this. Tremendous...
Cool to see this get localized. Also wow April is looking good.
I wish some more obscure, less OTT anime games would get English releases. There’s so many arena fighters, it’d be nice to get some of the visual novels like the School Rumble games. Yes, please remaster a PS2 visual novel in English just for my benefit hahaha
FINALLY one of these games gets translated!!! It's a shame the same can't be said for all of those 3DS ones...
Interesting, I wonder if it will be better then lightseekers which I kind of enjoy. There are a few things with lightseekers that turns me off though, like the card drawing. I guess I will wait for this to release before I decide to invest in Lightseekers
so is this free or what?
I'm a huge fan of Dragon Ball, but I'm not going to buy cards and stuff that takes space, let alone collectible stuff that makes you feel small if you can't get all of the pieces.
But I'm curious about how cards thing will work on the Switch.
@edgedino Free? Why would it be free? (Honest question)
@Moroboshi876 As far as I know you don’t need to buy any cards. The game is just based on the physical card game but separate from it. What I don’t know is if the cards will need to be bought in digital packs (like Magic or Hearthstone) or if everything is unlocked by playing the game. I never played any of the 3DS releases so I’m not sure...
Hmmm. Interesting development. I might get this. The Arcades always looked cool. I'm going to do more research on the game mechanics.
@maruse not sure if it would be a free game with micro transactions for packs since its a card game or if its just a paid for card game.
Would be nice if the real cards from the arcade could be used via nfc.
Can't wait to pick this game up tommorow!
