I don't have the time to downloaded at the moment, still on a 56k and it'd take over 2 hours (my dad hijacks the computer at ). However, considering the release date is so close to the JP release, I'm doubting any bonus stuff. If they'd left the release for November I'd be betting on a bonus character or two, but as stands, I don't expect anything extra. (Well, there's the dub audio, which is an extra over the JP version, but that doesn't count given the situation.XD)

On the subject of bonuses, I felt we always got screwed over on the US version. I mean we've gotta buy a brand new version of Budokai 3 to get all the extras included in the JP version. I agree with Xyex, I really don't think bonuses are going to be included this time around, seeing as how it's usually the US version that's released first, and the US and JP versions have previously been released months apart, unlike now, where we have a period of almost 10 days between release dates.

On the subject of voice actors ans seiyuu, I've always wondered if the Ocean DUB's Nappa and the FUNI re-dub Nappa have different voice actors.

If I'm not mistaken, just about everybody in the re-dub has different voice actors.

Ocean is awesome compared to Funi.

I disagree :/

I agree with superfusion about Ocean's voice actors!

After hearing all voice actors (Ocean, FUNI, JP) I would say that JP is my favorite with FUNI in second place.

You know how they've got the JP voices on the Collector's Edition of the US Budokai 3? Why don't we get Ocean voices as well. That'd be pretty cool to choose what voices the characters use.

By the way, are the JP voices going to be in the American version of Sparking?

SuperFusion · Post by **SuperFusion** » Mon Oct 17, 2005 6:22 pm

Yeah, the Japanese voices will be optional.

I highly doubt that FUNimation would ever in a million years allow you to choose a rival studio's voices for a dub that they wouldn't have allowed to exist in the first place had they the chance.

Ah, I know it was a pretty stupid idea.

I can't wait fo Sparking! It's only a day away, although I'm waiting till Chirstmas to get it.

Oh well! At least by then they'll be a few walkthroughs on the net to help me out!

In a mere 18 hours, I shall hold it in my own two hands. Bwahahaha!

Only a matter of hours to go, but I still can't wait to get my hands on it.

I did the rounds today, calling up the local game shops to see if any of them had gotten in shipments early (as some of them seem to do often), but no such luck. Here's looking forward to tomorrow, though.

I'm still waiting from that heavenly call from EB saying, "Your game has arrived. Please pick it up before we give it to some other poor kid who needs the game more than you do."

Slickmasterfunk · Post by **Slickmasterfunk** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 12:00 am

Yay! Right now is officially tomorrow! Can't wait to get this game.

I hope you guys have fun! Remember, don't throw your controller when the CPU beats the crap out of you.

Xyex · Post by **Xyex** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 7:17 am

I've still got about a week before it get's here. Jers pre-ordered it for me but the place we got it from will only ship to the buyers adress. So it's got to go up to Canada first and then come back down here to me...

h3ndrix2005 · Post by **h3ndrix2005** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 7:23 am

Damn; talk about ironic. But, it's lucky if that means you still get it before it's released in the 7th moon of nowhere or wherever you're at. <<< Lame joke.

I find it a bit funny that a few of you guys here shelled out the full price for the JP release when an (IMO) better version is being released today. You guys are stuck with the pure Japanese language barrier, whilst we buyers of the NA version get a full translated import as well as the Japanese VAs for our choosing. Was the original series music and couple weeks advance release worth getting it? Because in all honesty, "Budokai Tenkaichi" is to "Sparking" what "Dragonball Z 3" was to "Budokai 3", a much better advanced version.

You don't have to rub it in.

LoL, I'm still in denial. I'm STILL trying my hardest to think that the Japanese version is 100x better than the US version. But, oh well; it didn't stop me from beating the game, so I guess I'm okay.

Slickmasterfunk · Post by **Slickmasterfunk** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 9:52 am

Has anyone been to a Gamestop, EB, or anywhere to see if they have it, or will have it in today? I don't want to make worthless trip and I don't have time to call over there right now.

gallagtor · Post by **gallagtor** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 11:32 am

I'm going down to Wal-Mart to pick it up right now! And when I find out that they didn't get it in today, I'm going to Gamestop!

Its going to be Wednesday for me. I just checked with a couple of local places and no one has it.

Meh...
