Jeux France has enlarged two of the scans.

[Komati]

Thanks for the link, Looks like ther will be some minigames in this game. And maybe you should change avatar, since it's a Spoiler to naruto fans who only watches the anime

[Son Gokuu]

I think It's announced the Let's TV Play 3, too.

Another? They are great but...also expensive when new released.

Translated scans from jipang!

Eww, that CG opening style returns once again. I guess the new song will be the only thing that will keep me from throwing up.

Also, looks like we're getting Kid Chi Chi. I kinda wanted 23'rd Tenkaichi Budokai Chi Chi. Oh well.

[Xyex]

Boo to CGI opening again. Especially since it looks like they're doing the same 'style' for it as the last two, which looks wrong.

This 'Sim Dragon' training mode sounds promising though.

[Chuquita]

Chi-Chi's helmet-related attacks sound like they're going to be fun. :3


Much sadness at the jello-y cgi intro. TT_TT

[Rory]

Hm.. I only hated NEO's intro, Sparkings intro was pretty awesome I thought. And, Gogeta looks pretty badass in CG... of course, feel free to bitch at me for saying this. :p

[Maphisto86]

Nah I agree Rory. Even though I like the 2D anime intros from the Budokai series the best these 2D ones are not unwatchable. The first Sparking intro was pretty awesome in my opinion. The NEO intro however was terrible.. hopefully this one will be better.

I'm kind of surprised that Kid Chi-Chi was selected rather than the adult 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai. There is still hope since it specifies "Girl age" but Chi-Chi as an adult may not appear on the character roster... Yamcha has his Dragonball attire! It seems the Dragonball storyline will center around the story before the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai. How many "new" character slots are still available?

Even though I don't like Sparking!'s intros, I do admit that the first intro is superior to the second one. I also like the CG Gogeta on the scans, but Goku and Gohan...I'm not so sure. Super Survivor should compensate for it, IF Atari keeps at least the instrumental. (To poor and/or cheap to import!)

For those With a Wii: Will you be hitting the online day one or will you be leveling up your characters first?

[Futabatei Shimei]

I was looking at the Japanese Wikipedia page for Sparking Meteor, and it says that Norimaki Arale and Obocchaman (whoever that is) are playable characters in Sparking Meteor. Does anyone know if that is true or not? All the other characters they have listed are apparently in the game.

EDIT: I just looked at the Wikipedia page again, and their names are no longer there. I guess they aren't playable characters after all.

[Eclipse]

I know I'm probably pages late to say this, but I like that 'Battle Replay' feature they're adding. Sounds pretty nifty.
New CG Opening? Ehh...=P While the song makes it better, it's not like we're gonna have it vocal for the NA release...

But oh well. I'm looking forward to another game.

It better be true. Obotchanman? That's more than I could ever wish for. Obotchanman appeared at the beginning of Chapter 81 of Dragon Ball. He's the kid with the black hair, spikes, & glasses. Like Arale, he's an android, & looks somewhat like Tetsuwan Atom (Astro Boy).

Obotcha-man is basically Arale's male counterpart and sort-of love interest, if my limited Dr. Slump knowledge is correct. No idea if they're in, though the Arale rumors have been flying wildly for some time now...

Nope, not in. People keep adding them as a joke and others keep reverting back. JP Wiki gets vandalized just as much as english Wiki.

How many "new" character slots are still available?

I'm not sure, exactly. Going with the 161 number that gives about 31 new slots (counting forms for that). New characters to BT3 include Goku (early), Goku (mid), SSJ Goku (mid), Piccolo (early), GT Kid Goku, SSJ GT Kid Goku, SSJ3 GT Kid Goku, Seripa, Oozaru Seripa, Tambourine, Kid Chi-Chi, Mirai Gohan, SSJ Mirai Gohan, Nail, King Vgeta, Oozaru King Vegeta, King Cold, Soppovitch, Babidi, Dr. Wheelo, and Nova Sheron... I think that's everyone new so far. Sooooo... *counts* that's 21. Which leaves us with about 10 slots.

First day online, HOPEFULLY nobody will be TOO strong for me to own.

Cool stuff. That's could be a fun stage to play in.

[gohanku]

Yay! I love BT3 now. They got all the good stages and awesome characters, I think I can place the Jelly Bean Hell as a wacky mind trip for Goku later...
