Same guy that did them for BT2, Kenji Yamamoto.

Interestingly enough, I bought it at Gamestop and it came with a "Best Fights" bonus DVD. I was aware of this existing but I thought it was a separate disc that you'd only get if you pre-ordered, but it actually came right inside of the game case. So if you're interested in it, I recommend getting it at a Gamestop (or an EB games if they haven't all become Gamestops yet)
Is it only for the PS2 version or will it also be in the Wii version next month?

Kenji Yamamoto did the music tracks for the English release of BT2?!

Didn't he do the music for the Butoden games way back on the Snes? (Love the Butoden music, hate the BT2 music)

I have no clue. Like I said, I had no idea it was going to be in there at all but I don't see why they wouldn't put it in the Wii version. You can tell right away too because it says "Includes Bonus Disc" along the botton of the cover art. If the Wii version doesn't say that just ask, maybe they'll have some left overs from the pre-orders.

I got the game today and in 11 Hours I have unlocked all the characters and 100% Story mode and need to collect the dragonballs another 4 times to unlock the rest of the arena's and about 16% of the Z items

I found spelling errors in the encyclopaedia for the voice actor for Teen Gohan and Chi-Chi says something about Slug and the world tournament, During the GT Saga against both Super 17 and Omega SSJ4 Spoke with Kid Goku's voice (English voice, Not sure about the Jap voice)

But apart from those mistakes I’m really enjoying this game.

I guess it’s a bit easier in English :lol:

The tournament mode is annoying, not that its hard but you can't select the one you want without entering and exiting tournament mode over and over again and then you can't select the difficulty needed to unlock something you want.

Hey guys, just got the game yesterday and it's been a blast, I love the new gameplay tweeks, the music is really very good, the story mode is fantastic, not has complete but fantastic nonetheless, I haven't tried all the modes since I don't have that much time to play during the week days. Can someone tell me how to get the dragonballs? I'm curious, is it some mode I haven't tried yet? I've tried only Story Mode and World Tournament.

You can get them in Story mode by destroying stuff (It’s much easier now that they don’t roll around on the floor, there instantly collectable as you break the object holding it). Locations seem to be random (I found it easier on the lord slug story, just break all the buildings until you have it then destroy him :twisted:

You can also sometimes get them in tournament mode as a prize (I think that it’s a replacement for the versions of super survivor but am not 100% sure).

It's more boring than anything. :roll:

Just dash at all the buildings till one appears between the 2 health bars, then just pummel him. (Unless you wanna train while doing this just do it on easy)

Also the dragon summoned seems random (Though I’ve only summoned 3 times).

If there is some kind of order mine went:

1. Porunga (3 Wishes)
2. Red Shenron (1 Wish) not sure what the official name is?
3. Shenron (1 Wish)

Porunga is kinda crap, no good wishes. But you get three of them :lol:

I wont be getting my copy until some time next month, or later, it seems. :( Oh well, circumstances are what they are, you can't really do anything when life screws up your plans I suppose. Anyone in the states wanna loan me their copy? :twisted:

You'll get it back, maybe, eventually, sometime next century. Or when I get my own copy, whichever comes first.

Xyex, how do you know Kenji Yamamoto did the English version's music too?
He might have just been the guy that "midi-fied" the Japanese themes.

You sometimes get them from tournaments in the Japanese version as well.

I've wished for everything now (except money).

All thats left to do now is buy the other 51% of the items and max out everyone (It's gonna take a while). :(

I'm probably gonna grab the Wii version aswell and do it all over again. :roll:

I bought the game today, and I am very pleased. I'm a bit dissapointed not having the Japanese BGM's, but thats not a big deal.(I can just stick in a CD while I play it) The game is better than the first 2, and I enjoy the new additions to the gameplay. However, I was wondering something.

Dr. Wheelo(I think) shot ki blasts out of his crotch, right? Well, when seeing him in the English game, they were coming from his hand. Was this changed for the American release? Once again, I'm not entirely sure if this was the character who did that, and I haven't gotten a chance to play as him yet, so I'm not sure.
