Battle Stadium D.O.N is a Japanese fighting game for the GameCube and PlayStation 2 featuring characters from the popular anime and manga series Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, and One Piece, hence the D.O.N. This game received a rating of 28/40 from Weekly Famitsu.
Gameplay
Similar to the Super Smash Bros. series, in Battle Stadium D.O.N the players are put onto either a moving or non-moving stage. Borrowing from Power Stone, these stages have some level of interactivity. Players must then fight their opponents. However, due to the nature of the combined health bar, which gets divided up by the players, a fight can potentially last indefinitely if no time limit is set.
Missions
The single player mode has the player fight through five rounds, two of which have missions with goals selected randomly. However depending on the difficulty chosen by the player, different amounts of missions are given out with easy giving the least and very difficult giving out the most. Fulfilling the missions' goals rewards the player with coins that can be used in the slot machine available upon completing the fights. The slot machine is the way through which unlockables are obtained.
Multiplayer
Up to four players can participate in a multiplayer session (for the PS2 version a multitap must be used for more than 2 players).

Seeing as this game will never be released outside the Japanese world of gaming, I thought it would be nice to hold a thread with discussions on your views on why it wasnt released in Europe, plus the game.
