If this were the 90's I'd say we'd probley never see a US release of this game, but with recent American games being profitable for Atari & FUNimation, I would't be surprised if they did bring it over.

Hey, they did it for Super Sonic Warriors.

They better give us a European release too then.

Hahahahaha.

God bless Mario vs. Donkey Kong.

I can only dream that this game gets ported to Gamecube...but if it doesn't, it looks like I'm hopping on the PS2 wagon if it meets all the expectations I already have for it.

Okay, slightly off-topic and on-topic, I am taking VegettoEX to court for making me laugh SOOO much!!

Scans for the issue of Jump showcase SSJ Goku blasting away (at what looks like a SSJ Vegeta) in a 3D battlefield, with big images of himself and Janenba on the sites of the page.

Fanboys, you might want to change your underwear, now.

That last quote just made me go completely akka.

Oooh! The graphics look so cool! I can't wait to see how all the other characters look in this game!

Do you think this game will have other characters that weren't in/finished for Budokai? (Wants a Bulma VS Veggie or a Goku VS Chi-Chi battle)

From the looks of this game it makes me wish I had just passed on buying Sagas and kept the money for Sparking once/if it comes out here in the US. ^_^;;

I like how the electricity looks on SS2 Goku. Budokai 3 used real life type of electricity. They better not put in useless characters that have too little of attacks.

I still want Bulma, Bio Broly and Master Roshi

Gamingdevil · Post by **Gamingdevil** » Sun Apr 17, 2005 5:13 am

I just want everyone and everyone to have a DU. As you can see I'm not very demanding

The only characters from Budokai 3 we don't need are Saibamen and Cell Jrs., all the others can stay, plus new ones.

I don't know. I kinda liked saibamen (can't really say much for Cell Jr. because i still haven't unlocked him yet.

).
Also, because this is an adventure game, they could be our only chance of fighting against the Z-fighters.
Nothing cheers you up like pummeling Yamcha

*Grabs tissues*

I'm hoping for a Gamecube release. All you need is a Freeloader to play import games

I also am hoping for a cube release and US release, but I'm still waiting for a US release of Advance Adventure ;-;

If they are even releasing DBZ3 as a Budokai 3 Collector's Edition here in Europe, then they would be crazy not to release Sparking!

Could someone recount the price to dollars or euros? I have no clue what the currency for yen is

Xyex · Post by **Xyex** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 12:55 pm

According to xe.com it's 51 euro and 65.50 american.

Gamingdevil · Post by **Gamingdevil** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 3:17 pm

That's reasonable I bought my Budokai for 59.95€

How long has this game been in production?
It can't have been that long or we would have heard something earlier.
On the other hand it is out in a few months and thats a very short time for a game to be in production.
