Does anyone own any of the Prima Dragonball Z game guides?

Post by SSj_Rambo » Sun Aug 02, 2009 4:18 am

No, I'm not asking this because I am stuck, I was searching through ebay for Dragonball guides, and saw that some of the prima guides come with a FUNimation DVD!? I thought this was pretty cool for a these games, even though they probably just contain an episode or game trailer stuff. I don't know if all of the DVD's are different or not, just that they didn't come with any of the Budokai Tenkaichi guides, which were some of the most popular games (which makes me think they would have included a DVD, had the content not been the same each time, and something relevant only to back then). Here are all of the guides that contain special DVD's that I know of:
  • Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu
    Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II
    Dragon Ball Z: Budokai
    Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2

So if anyone has any of these guides and is willing to give a run-down of what's on the DVD(s), and maybe some screenshots, that would be most appreciated!!

I had the Budokai 2 guide, though I have no idea where it is anymore. The DVD it came with had a dub only version of the episode of GT where Goku fights Freeza and Cell in hell. Not sure if it was the cut or uncut version, but I think they used HFIL, not sure. It also had some trailers for other FUNimation shows, though I don't remember what shows.

I never had any of those games guides. However, I did have the one for Budokai 3. Plus, another for the first Sparking/Tenkaichi game, I think. I'll have to double check that one. I found a Legacy of Goku guide, but its the first one, not 2.

I had the Budokai 2 Guide that came with that DVD full of Funi trailers and GT and Yu Yu Hakusho clips. The heights that they gave the characters were so puzzling. They said that Frieza was taller than Goku :shock:

I no longer have the DVD, though. I bashed it with a sledgehammer a few years ago.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

I had the Legacy of Goku II guide. I'm not sure where it is atm.
From what I remember the DVD contained an episode of GT. Not sure which one. I believe it was the one where you first see Bebi.
I'll see if I can find it.

I remember watching the DVD from the Budokai 2 one with a Friend a while ago. It had an episode or two of the Super 17 saga, where Goku was in "GT Hell" as I call it with Cell and Freeza.

No, I don't have any.
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

I have at least 3 of those. Not sure about Budokai 1....

DVD's didn't hold anything special, at least what I can remember from 5 years ago.... :lol: The only thing I remember is a Budokai 2 trailer that was extremely short and was obviously released when the game was long from being finished, considering Goku used the yellow "Kamehameha" from Budokai 1. Also the characters were voiced by the Japanese cast, and I remember going "WTF they got new voice actors again???" I was like 9, mind you.
