Why was "acquiring" in italics? It's not like a special word or something. Hahaha.

Anyway, I'm guessing this isn't the same game as the Japanese version, correct?

Score announced this to the most dedicated DBZ players at dinner during GenCon Indy. This game is set to replace Z as one of the three games they produce (others being Inuyasha and Epic Battles).

Score does not like translating the Japanese games. Expect a brand new game with amazing mechanics.

Aik (Z/Epic) and Garrett (Inuyasha) will probably work on the game together, though who takes control is still up for discussion.

The rights were secured on Thursday, so Score will be making this game.

Garrett's a huge Bleach fan so expect this game to feel exactly like the anime, just like Inuyasha.

My final foray into the world of CCGs was with the recent Naruto CCG. With that, I finally realized that I was done with CCGs.

I still miss Yu-Gi-Oh!, though, as that was a very fun game. It just got so darn expensive, though.

Inuyasha has amazing sales. Around 80% of the sales are to collectors, but there's no shame in that.

It means that Score does not have the rights at the time the report was posted. Even though it may all be academic by now, one cannot assume at this time that Score has Bleach.

Hmm, I'm no longer a fan of Trading Cards, but I'll buy a pack or two just to see the designs and what the gameplay is like. I mean, it's Bleach. I love Bleach, so I'll support it. I remember they sold FMA cards in Hot Topic once. Haha, those were the good old days of last summer.

I think that people will start buying the cards as soon as Bleach hits TV and gets popular, then these cards will sell. Naruto merchandise got big after Naruto got popular. Hell, I saw some guy in the mall wearing a Naruto headband over his du-rag, and he was wearing a big, baggy Naruto sweatshirt. Now that means that it's getting popular!

Sad to hear that the DBZ TCG is getting cut off then again the series had it's run in the sun.

I still own alot of those DBZ TCG cards from Score, I also own Gundam MS War Cards, though I don't know how to play either...

Anywho's I'll buy a pack or two or a deck so I can understand what the hey I'm doing.

That reminds me Next Month's SJ has a Naruto TCG Card.
