Those keeping a close eye on their internets may have seen some rumors leaking about extra characters showing up in the European Wii version of “Sparking! NEO” (“Budokai Tenkaichi 2″). As common sense would dictate, these extra items are actually spawned from the upcoming Japanese Wii release of the game, currently set for 01 January 2007. So who do we have?
Yep, that’s my main man Appule! Oh, and a random Freeza henchman. Who doesn’t even have a real name. Awesome. Looks like Freeza’s spaceship (as seen at the end of the Bardock TV special) is going to be an extra stage, as well.
The above image and information comes from the latest “V-Jump”, and it looks like the rest of their unlock-passwords are going to be released in the same “Weekly Jump” double-issue as the “One Piece” & Dragon Ball crossover, “Cross Epoch”. We will let you know what else surfaces!

According to The Magic Box, “Famitsu” has given “Jump Ultimate Stars” for the Nintendo DS scores of 7, 7, 8, 8, totaling 30/40. Not too shabby, but could be better. We will (of course) be giving our full review of the game on an upcoming podcast episode.
The new remix CD coming out in Japan on December 20th (first unveiled back on October 30th) officially has a track listing and a cover! Big thanks to strawberry on our forum for picking up this info over on the official Columbia site’s December listings.
You can expect a full review on the site and podcast the very instant we get this whipper-snapper in our grubby little hands.
We have some late-breaking news for you this evening, hot off the pages of the “Weekly Shōnen Jump” hitting newsstands this coming Monday. On the title page for “One Piece”, it was announced that OP author Eiichiro Oda will be doing a joint manga with his (and our) idol, Akira Toriyama. This manga will be appearing in the 2007 #4/5 issue, going on sale Monday, 25 December 2006 (which is apparently some kind of holiday or other).
What does this mean for you, the fans? Well, some brand-spankin’ new Toriyama (and Oda) material is on its way, just in time for Christmas. So make sure you’ve been good girls and boys… Santa Toriyama has a special present just for you, apparently!
We finally have our hands on Toei’s new covers for the next three DVDs of the Z Dragon Box individual disc release. Each of these discs contain six episodes, covering episodes 232 thru 249, and are set to be released 06 December 2006. You can still order any of the released discs or pre-order any of these three discs at Amazon Japan. Only 2 more releases to go…
