Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 to include exclusive anime episode @ Gaming Target

News: Be ready to "Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans."

Namo Bandai's Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 will include a special bonus when it's released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this Fall: an exclusive episode of the "Dragon Ball" anime series.

Titled "Dragon Ball: Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans," the 30-minute episode is a completely reconstructed, re-scripted and re-edited version of the original Japanese episode, "Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans." Players will be able to watch it from the game's main menu and a bonus in-game character will be unlocked for those who watch it in its entirety.

The anime was originally released as an OVA in Japan in 1993 to coincide with the release of an NES game with the same name. A plot summary can be found at the Dragon Ball Wikia:

Dr. Raichi is one of the only survivors of the Tuffles, a race that once lived on Planet Plant before the coming of the Saiyans. The Saiyans not only massacred the entire Tuffle race, but also stole their technology and conquered the planet, renaming it Planet Vegeta in honor of their king. Raichi managed to escape with a capsule and found refuge on the Dark Planet, a world at the end of the universe. His only wish is to eradicate the last remaining Saiyans.
