Which Characters Are In The Dragonball Evolution Game?

Saw Dragonball Evolution yesterday. As expected, it’s nothing like Dragonball. With only a few fight scenes the question in my mind after “why did I go to a theater to watch this” is how is the Dragonball Evolution fighting game going to work?

Namco Bandai hasn’t said much about it, but one screenshot has a character count. The PSP game has at least eleven selectable characters. The movie has seven lead roles: Goku, Bulma, Chi Chi, Master Roshi, Yamcha, Mai, and Piccolo. All of them are confirmed characters. That leaves four free slots. One of them will probably go to Grandpa Gohan who trains Goku. Master Mutaito could be another character even though he is in the movie for all of five minutes. Even if those characters are in there are still two more spaces which can go to generic monsters created by Piccolo, an alternate Goku, or one of Goku’s high school bullies.

From the screenshots it looks like Namco Bandai’s Dragonball Evolution game sticks to the source material closely so I wouldn’t expect any anime cameos. Yamcha uses a jackhammer in the movie and he uses a jackhammer in the game.
