Los Angeles Convention Center was the place to be for some gaming action over the weekend.

The Bandai Card Games Fest 23-24 made a stop in the center with major tournaments in Battle Spirits Saga, One Piece Card Game, Digimon Card Game, and Union Arena taking place. Aside from tournaments, attendees took photos with various activations, checked out some amazing figures, and picked up some exclusive merchandise.

Right next to Bandai Card Games Fest 23-24 was the Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2024 event, which brought exciting tournaments in Dragon Ball FighterZ and Dragon Ball Super Card Game. Attendees were able to battle each other in various Dragon Ball titles, and some folks tested out the VR of Son Gohan vs Cell. A demo for Sand Land was also available to play. Releasing on consoles and PC on April 26, Sand Land is based on the manga series by Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama. Pre-orders for the game can be made here. A synopsis for Sand Land reads:

Dive into a desert world where both humans and demons suffer from an extreme water shortage. Play as and watch the Fiend Prince, Beelzebub, Sheriff Rao, and demon Thief set off on an adventure in search of a Legendary Spring hidden in the desert. Introducing himself as a “super evil fiend”, Beelzebub has a pure heart like a little boy but has superhuman strength and telepathic abilities. Rao, a small-town sheriff, seeks the aid of demons to save all of Sand Land from the water shortage. Thief, a wise old demon with thieving abilities also accompanies Beelzebub and Rao on their adventure.
Playing as Beelzebub, players will be able to explore a vast world accompanied by his unlikely group of demons and humans. Whether roaming in various vehicles, or traveling by foot, players will encounter dangers as well as helpful characters they meet in the vast desert while uncovering SAND LAND’s many secrets. Vehicular and character combat is a big part of the action in the game. Players will have access to a variety of vehicles that they can customize and equip with loadouts to traverse the desert, overcome obstacles, and take on a diverse assortment of mighty foes.
