-Websites say Nov. 16

-Retailers tell me Nov. 17

Games ship on Tuesdays, traditionally (just like all movies and CDs come out on Tuesdays). That's the 16th date we see. Game stores are telling buyers the 17th, because they may not GET their shipment until the next day (Wednesday).

This 23rd date is confusing and pissing me off :P. I better be able to go pick up the Kami-sama-damn-game next Tuesday night / Wednesday morning.

At least it'll be easy to get since it's being overshadowed by Halo 2.

I wonder about those of us who ordered the game online; will we get ours on the 16th?

All newspaper ads say the 16th...

I probably won't get the game myself until December of January. I just spent all of my money on MK Deception and TMNT 2.

PS2. I'd like to get the first GBA version before I think about getting the second one.

So the only Fusions I've seen are Gotenks, Vegeto, and Gogeta. Makes me sad. I wish there were some What-Ifs in there. Anyone know if at least all of Super Buu's transformations from B2 are in it?

Nothing's been said about the What If fusions so it's unknown weither or not they'll be bringing back Tiencha (who I liked) and/or the Goku/Satan fusion (who I hated) and/or adding any new ones in (which I hope they do).

However they have given Buu a new absorb - Piccolo (as shown earlier in this thread), but he has more of Piccolo's cosutme rather than just the cape.

The followind is directly from an interveiw with the producer:


http://ps2.gamespy.com/playstation-2/dr ... ?fromint=1

GameSpy: Budokai 2 introduced the Fusion technique, and it featured a few new Fusions that weren't from the anime. Will there be any new Fusions in Budokai 3?

Daisuke Uchiyama: Yes, in Budokai 3, we have increased the number of Fusions.

Well that's good news, but it's unlikely to feature the Goku/Gohan fusion, Piccolo/Kuririn fusion and Cell/Kuririn fusion I've been wanting to play as.

Not out this week in UK! I wish they don't have different dates at different stores! My guess that it should be next week (as it should be!!! :x )!

UK Release Date - I'm unlikely to get it until Christmas so it really doesn't matter to me when it's released.

Paikuhan edit - *when he firts saw it* O_O OMG! Paikuhan is in the game! Sweet :D

*few seconds later when he realised it was a fake.* :x :? Damn.

Listening to the announcer's voice files for the World Tournament mode. Unexpected characters he announces include:

Zarbon, Dodoria, Android 19, Shen (or is it "Shin"?), Bulma.

He speaks "Supreme Kai" right before "Shen" (or "Shin"), so I dunno. I heared "Shen" and I think Kami/Shen from 23rd Budokai. I don't know if Zarbon, Dodoria, and Android 19 are left-over sound files from previous games... but shit... at least Bulma!

Here's the full list of characters, right down the list, in order. Yes, it has lines for "Saibaman" and "Cell Jr." twice.
  • Goku
  • Gohan
  • Vegeta
  • Krillin
  • Trunks
  • Piccolo
  • Tien
  • Yamcha
  • Raditz
  • Nappa
  • Captain Ginyu
  • Recoome
  • Zarbon
  • Dodoria
  • Freeza
  • Android 16
  • Android 17
  • Android 18
  • Android 19
  • Cell
  • Hercule
  • Great Saiyaman
  • Saibaman
  • Cell Jr.
  • Dr. Gero
  • Goten
  • Majin Buu
  • Dabura
  • Videl
  • Supreme Kai
  • Shin (Shen?)
  • Uub
  • Cooler
  • Bardock
  • Broly
  • Omega Shenron
  • Saibaman
  • Cell Jr.
  • Bulma

Mmm...I'd love to kick SSJ4 Son Goku's ass playing as Bulma. I wonder if she's going to be able to fly like the others...

VegettoEX, could you record the announcer saying Bulma's voice as an MP3, or something?
