Hooray!

Goku can perform his signature Kamehameha by tapping out the symbols as they appear on screen, and use his power pole to fight and solve puzzles. The player will also be able to collect figurines scattered throughout the game world and then trade them with friends to collect the whole set.

Dragon Ball: Origins will be released this December, anno domini 2008.
