The very first animation; no Vegeta & Nappa, and it ends with Goku with Nyoibo hopping down.

Y'know, I just thought: I have the European beginning to Budokai on my computer, in Quicktime format. Would that be at all useful?

I would kill for a copy of Shin Butoden for my Sega Saturn...

I loved Final Bout, and I'm happy I own it. It's probobly the most under rated anime game in history. The music and style were awsome, it had good graphics, as well a spectacular opening movie. The game play was a little sticky, but once you got a feel for the game it was ok. It's one of my favorite games! I wish they would make the new DB games with a smooth street fighter type button system. Ban Dai had the right idea, just not the smooth button combos.

You, my friend, are the only living person who thinks Final Bout was a good video game ^^;;.

Yes, the opening movie was cool, and yes, the music was great... but the game is terrible. Characters would miraculously hit each other, despite facing totally opposite directions. The camera would randomly place itself so you can't see any of the action. There are six versions of Goku, all who (essentially) have the same attacks. You could get "stuck" on the edges of stages. The buttons were incredibly unresponsive (actually worse than Mortal Kombat 1 on the SNES).

Final Bout easily ranks up there with Superman 64 and Aquaman.

oh, come on dont be so picky

its fun once you get the hang of it. but, i could have gone fore a few more characters and a couple fewers Gokus. And those Glitches don't happen often enough to make it unenjoyable, well at least for me!

IF I'M THE ONLY PERSON WHO LIKES FINAL BOUT THEN THATS A TITLE I'M PROUD TO BEAR!!!!

If you play Legends, you'll know how bad GT really is. I'd love for the them to remake a Dragon Ball game using the same engine they used for Legends and then just expand on it. The only aspect that really hindered the game was the inability to perform large ki attacks manually. Interestingly, the opening sequence to GT was better than just about anything on the actual show...seriously. And, I think someone asked earlier about the tune of Cha-La being played on the closing credits. I don't think it was answered. On the American version of the first Budokai they do in fact play it on the closing.

Are you sure you aren't referring to the European GameCube version? That game features clips of various characters like you say.

About Final Bout:
It's 'just'a 3D version of the Butoden games. That's not so bad, but the game is slow as Hell, opposed to the very fast SFC games.

Now, I am a lovely person who doesn't like being condescending or sarcastic. Honestly. But...

I did provide a cunningly hidden clue. Thusly:

So, yes, when I say "European one", I am indeed referring, in a roundabout sort of way, to the European version.

I MAKE DISSES!!!

Maybe I should have made the word GameCube BOLD, but I thought the Euro PS2 version of B1 had the Cha-La animation as intro.

BTW the Cube version does have a screencap of the Cha-la animation sequence hidden somewhere in the options menu.

I'm dumb, but I can read.

Then I apologise for making the disses. But does the European version of Budokai 1 really have Cha la as it's intro? I remember seeing an advert for the game on the net just before the PS2 version came out over here, and it was the same intro as the Gamecube one (with the slightly less-nice graphics).

And where is this hidden frame of which you speak? Eh?

I don't know for sure if the PS2 Euro version had the Cha-La animation as intro, but I remember seeing it in a local games sotre. I presume they had the Euro version, but I could be mistaken.

About the hidden frame, it's not exactly hidden, but it's on one of the option menu screens. I'll look it up later today.(Don't have my GameCube plugged in right now)
NOTE: I have the Euro version, so I don't know if it's in other versions since the Euro version also got Japanese voices and the name 'Satan'.

EDIT:
Check the 'adjust brightness' screen in the options menu.
