Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo is a side scrolling action adventure game with characters and environments rendered in 3D. This Bandai title goes on sale in Japan on July 23rd.
Using the Wiimote, the game allows the player to use a special lock-on system to control the character Goku as he travels the world in a quest to stop the evil King Piccolo. The controls are explained further in detail.

It looks gorgeous but my only concern is simplistic controls. If there isn't enough variety or depth in the combat then it will get kinda stale. I originally thought it was only using 2 buttons but this lock-on mechanic adds some more complexity.
I am slightly confused on the controls mentioned here though. So do you use the wiimote IR to control the blue lock on target so you can quickly switch between enemies ?! If so that sounds absolutely awesome but how are you supposed to do wiimote motions while trying to lock onto different enemies?
Man I really like the idea of pointing at enemies and then hitting buttons to attack them. This would allow you to keep combos going and very easily change who you want to hit next by moving the lock on cursor over them with the IR tracking. That would be SWEET!!
I dont put much faith in to Famitsu reviews. Anyhow, its a Dragon Ball game, they have always been quick paced button mashers. At least this has the Wiimote to mix things up.
Still one of my most anticipated games. Despite the Famitsu score.
Got a pretty bad review by Famitsu, so I think sales will be bad.
Silly me. Corrections made.
I'm disturbing by the use of the name Gohan in this.
Umm.......Kid Goku is in Dragonball. Gohan is his son...........who wasn't born until much later in the series.
