To no make this topic too slow, i will only give one, many other can be seen, in KSE ( www.kamisama.com.br ) site, in 27/01/2004 news (brasilian date)

[Jakez04]

But is the game going to be good?

[Meri]

Wow, at a quick glance, I thought Goku was attacking Porunga .

You know I thought the same exact thing. O_O

[Jakez04]

Is he attacking Dabura or Freeza? Can someone tell me?

[TripleRach]

That looks much more like Freeza than Darbura to me. There's no horns, and you can kind of make out Freeza's tail.

[Gary]

Yeah I am pretty sure that is Freeza..

[Manga Ka Kyo!]

I can't wait for this game, I wonder if this will play on all GBA systems. I hope so..... It's about time a Japanese GBA Dragonball game came out. I hope they re release the super famicon games on GBA.

I can't wait for this game, I wonder if this will play on all GBA systems. I hope so.

Er, if you mean GBA vs GBA SP, then yes, they are 100% compatible.

If you mean US vs Japanese GBA, then again, yes. There is no region coding of any kind on the Game Boy Advance (or previous Game Boys, for that matter).

Given the context, it would surely make more sense if it was Freeza.

[Jakez04]

I thought it was Dabura because of the blue and the pink head the white cape.

But the gameplay better play not be the old DragonBall games where you have to use cards to pick your moves and stuff.

[Zackarotto]

Ah, that image doesn't load for me...

[Sun_Wukong]

I hope its better than Taiketsu, *shivers.....

[NeverRamza]

If it's anything like any of the 16 bit games, I'll probably pick it up out of novelty. I actually had a lot of fun with them many years ago.

[Jakez04]

Taiketsu to me looks like the frist Mortal Kombat gone wrong.

[Nyogo]

Check out these new pics!!!

That's great and all, but the name of the game is Bukû Tôgeki.

Thus saith the anal-retentive Japanese-pronunciation fiend.

Love your new avatar Saiya-Jedi, or anal-retentive Japanese pronunciation fiend.

The usual translation is Mukutogeki. The translation literally, of the word
舞空闘劇 is Bukû Tôgeki. But
it is too literal and little usual, so much that the Ocident adopted Mukutogeki. Vide researches in the
Google. + 700 searches Mukutogeki. + 300 searches 舞空闘劇 . 4 searches Bukû Tôgeki. ^^

Or Dragon Ball... perfect japanese traducion= Doragon Boru.

Remember americans don't know how to use accent. Never you called BukÛ or TÔgeki.

The usual translation is Mukutogeki. The transl[iter]ation literally, of the word ???? is Bukû Tôgeki. But it is too literal and little usual, so much that the Occident adopted Mukutogeki.

That's the thing, though... it's that there's no "mu" syllable in the game's title at all. What I think happened, is that whoever transliterated the title over at The Magic Box mistook the ? kanji, which cannot be pronounced "mu," for the ? kanji, which is generally pronounced "mu."

The mistake's not hard to spot for a seasoned DBZ fan -- after all, the first two characters in the game's title are the same kanji combination at the beginning of ??? bukuujutsu, the standard flight technique.

So, my point is, regardless of how you romanize it, one word or two, long vowels represented as accents, extra letters, or not at all, THERE IS NO "MU" in Bukuutougeki. It's unfortunate that the version with the "m" has become so popular, because it's... well, wrong. Luckily, it doesn't seem to be the most popular romanization... That honor would appear to go to "Bukuu Tougeki," with about 1,170 hits. So there.

Well... I feel better now.

EDIT: Hmm... well, the Japanese characters didn't come out. Anybody have suggestions on how to make them work?

I have similar problems sometimes, mainly because of incompatabilities between my IME and most of my browsers. Maybe it's something like that?

Well, I knew what you meant, at least, and I'll agree with your notion that the kanji in question can't be read as mu. Its only on-yomi is bu.

Dancing in the sky sure sounds like fun~
