No need to get disappointed, folks--there's still a lot to come!

I see your point....but this wasn't really a demo. It seemed like it was the whole game to be honest. Worlds 1-5 were all unlocked (with I believe 5 to 6 levels in each) and once you finished the most recent level, the next one opened up. Like I said, I'm pretty sure it was the near final Japanese version.
Also, I think people are taking my comment a little too harshly. The game ISN'T UNPLAYABLE by any stretch of the imagination. It just got old pretty quickly (it IS a beat 'em up). I still want to play through the whole thing when it comes out despite my criticisms. Mainly because you can really tell they went the extra mile to include a lot of throw backs to the original show and the respective sagas.

If it's just a beat-em-up they should have made it a DS game.
If challenge had a taste, you'd be quite delicious.

Why? The only thing that would be different is the visuals would be worse. They need to break this whole thing about the fighters being on consoles and PSP, and everything else being on the DS.

Well, Advance Adventure was a beat um up, and repetitive, but that is still one of the best DB games ever made in my opinion.
I am still looking forward to this, even though I really didn't play much of Origins, as I found the touch screen controls to be terrible, and the fact that there is no option to not use them killed that game for me.

I thought the touch controls in Origins were very intuitive. It was easy to figure it out and the only annoyance was my own hand getting in the way (which is more a fault of Nintendo than the game).

I don't know, call me old school or something, but I think touch screen controls, and most of the Wii's gimmick controls(although I didn't mind them on Wii sports, Twilight Princess, or first person shooter games), are stupid.

If the Dragon Ball Season Sets news turns out to be true, then it would be cool of FUNimation to include the first 7 episodes as a bonus with this game, like they did with Burst Limit and DBZ.

We NEED to start getting stuff for buying these games. Japan has gotten something with like every DBZ ps2 game that came out AND those single dvds where they got the diarama. What do we get? Something with Budokai 3...and something with Burst Limit.

FINALLY a new scan, love it.
Is that a moon above Gokus head?
You think Oozaru will be in the game since he went ape in the tourny?

Thanks.
Huh, looks like the robot Oolong transforms into is in that second one.

Yeah, I think it's pretty definite that we are getting the whole story from the beginning to Daimao.

I hope you are right, but Oolong in that shot might just be included as an enemy you encounter throughout the game...

I don't know if it's already known but you'll be able to use the GameCube and Classic Controllers in the game :

That's good news. I prefer the GameCube controller for fighting/beat-em-up games like Smash Bros: Brawl.
