Another Road follows a "what if" story surrounding Trunks and marks the first time in the franchise (not just the videogame series) that fans are presented with an offshoot storyline.

Er... That's not true.

I went to GameStop yesterday and they had a poster up for the game using the fake boxart. I wish I'd brought myy camera to take a picture.

Am I the only one who doesn't think that the green dude is Piccolo?

Well, maybe FUNimation will have the box art when they show this thing at the Comic Con. I'll be sure to take a picture.

Its tough to tell which is the true cover as Sony's website have the original cover yet Atari's website doesn't even show that Shin Budikai Another road is coming out.

Cool scans The only thing I'm confused about is why does super Buu look like he's absorbed Gotenks?

Well, I'm gonna take a wild guess, and go out on a limb, and say that it's because he has absorbed Gotenks. Just a guess though

Good point except for the fact that Goten was never born in the time line this takes place in!

I can believe Goten is there if future Gohan isn't missing an arm and is still alive. Then again there is a possibility that you play through all of Trunks' story and then get into the 'what-if' stuff.

Nice scans! Is it just me, or have they touched up that image of all the Buu's? I know it's in Daizenshuu 1, but that scan seems to show them more...pink. Also, is there a larger scan of the second page? That future Trunks and Gohan image looks sexy. It should be on the cover if they really want to base this game around this what if story.

Here's the second image: http://mfgforums.com/photos/mfg_news/I'm ... ginal.aspx

Hey, what do you know? Future Gohan can use the Makankosappo! Cool!

I am frikkin' loving how that shot of Gohan and Trunks is mirroring this famous one, and the scene it was from. Brilliant. I wonder if it's on purpose.

The What If could happen before Gohan dies, with Buu getting the energy from the Androids unlimited Ki and destroying them once his escapes his prison. The lack of Younger Trunks models could be because Majin Buu's destruction is in the short bursts like the Androids' were so that he'd still be around when Trunks is the age he is when he went back in time. Or I could be completley wrong and they just have Gohan because they felt like it, whatever.

EDIT: Wait a minute, what's up with the screenshot in the second image to the left of SSJ Trunks' face? There's Future Trunks and Dabura, and two characters in Orange Gis that are too hard too make out, plus one is blocked by part of the HUD. The image on the bottom looks like it's Goku and one of the Gohans. They must've brought Goku to the future to help! I can't wait to see the reunion of Future Gohan (seeing as he's alive in this What-If apparently) and Goku... wait a minute, I don't have a PSP!

Bah, I'll have to borrow a friend's.

So does anyone think this game might be worth getting a PSP for?

Once the price drops to $150 I'll get one. Including this there's several exclusive games for the PSP that I want, although a couple of them are remakes.

Used ones are going for $160, and new for $200. Just the price drop I've been waiting for. Besides, my dad wants to buy my Mp3 player offa me so he'll have something for the gym he just joined, and I might as well upgrade...

Yea, I was going to say somthing like that. If this game is about Trunks's time line though, then that image should be on the cover.

Jeux France has posted a video and an image.

Dude, we really need Budokai 4 so that we can play with the enhancement on a much larger scale.

BrollysKin · Post by **BrollysKin** » Tue Feb 27, 2007 2:13 am

How is this different than any of the other Budokai's?

Kanzenshuu

Shin Budokai 2?
