Kanzenshuu

I'm in the UK and just got my copy a few days ago. Ordered the Special Edition and got the standard version :(

The game is seriously 'meh'. It's basically just Sparking in high def at 60fps. Nothing really new over the previous versions gameplay-wise to keep me playing. And unlocking the new levels ...

I'm pretty sure they never made an anime about that...

It's obviously copying some sort of intro and using the same music.

Yes, looks like it though I'm not familiar with whatever anime it's parodying. Anyone recognize it?

I came across this completely by accident while searching for something totally unrelated, but thought I would post it as it's about Dragon Ball. Sorry if this is very old news but I had no idea what to search for on the forum to check that it wasn't!

I will admit that Sean actually does a pretty good job after watching that YouTube vid. Shame he sucked in the anime Maybe it's also to do with the more accurate translation, instead of that completely fabricated speech that Funi cooked up.

Well, atleast in the PAL version with the Japanese voices.

What were they thinking...

I remember that! And it wasn't only once that they used that line either...

After a few days with the game and enough time to complete all the stages, then complete them all with a Z rating and play some online battles, I can say that this is a pretty fun game, and a good start with DBZ on the next gen consoles. Due to the lack of characters it feels s lot like a Shin ...

Just got the game this morning (I'm in the UK) I haven't played it yet but I will give it a work out this weekend. One thing I will say in response to all the 'why didn't they add this & that' comments is that they have essentially hit the reset button on the Budokai series for the next gen systems ...

Pre-order from Sideshow now! They distribute a lot of Medicom toys outside of Japan and work with them making replicas sometimes:

Just posted that in the 14 inch Goku figure thread. :lol:

It does look really nice, but I don't know if I could justify the price. Maybe because his clothes are made of fabric and he is so poseable? Check out the other pics of him on medicom's site, it looks like he has several different sets of ...

I did a search for 'Medicom' and didn't find anything so I hope this isn't old news.

There is a lovely new Goku figure from popular Japanese toy manufacturer, Medicom coming out this year. He is fully poseable:

And there are no disc swap tricks like with the PS2?
I can only pray that the UK version will include the Japanese music...

Hi, I was wondering if a Japanese copy of Sparking Meteor would run on my UK PS3? I heard the PS3 has no region lock when it comes to games, but is that only for PS3 games or will PS2 ones work too?

Also is the Wii version superior graphically? Does it run at 60fps for example?

Thanks!

Great podcast as ususal!
It encouraged me to go back and listen to some of the computer game music and I found some new ripoffs! Check these out:

Both from Dragonball Z 2 / Budokai 2 on the PS2. One is a copy of My Elastic Eye by ...

I suggested this topic in the podcast way back in episode 8! So glad to see it in a forum thread The information you put together was really interesting and fun to read.

I coincidentally watched the episode where Gohan bursts form the Saiyajin pod with my girlfriend today and noticed the blue/purple colour shifting on Gohan's face. Pretty bad stuff...

The thing is that I've read the manga and seen the whole series a few times, so I know what's going on. I speak a little Japanese and know the characters' names well enough to not be bothered by inaccurate subs. That's why it's so much more painful to see cropping as opposed to babel-fish style ...

Dodgy translations like "Roshi's Cannon", Lunch becoming "Nancy", and Roshi becoming "Goten", you mean?

Yeah. I've seen them. I only recommend them to anyone who knows Dragonball well enough that they can translate the translations into what they really mean. The funniest I've seen is Spoppobitchi ...

I just got the set myself. I've been watching the full-screen version a lot recently so the widescreen cropping is glaringly apparent to me. I can't notice any 'extra' footage on the sides, it just looks like the 4:3 version zoomed in. Also they said they were cleaning up all the dirt and scratches ...

Great podcast as usual! Is there a youtube movie of the SNL Dragon Ball parody? I'd love to see it, but I live in the UK and we don't get that program over here
