DBZ Budoukai's character icons

Post by Piccolo Daimao » Fri Feb 10, 2012 4:11 pm

Could someone provide individual images of DBZ Budoukai's character icons that appeared in the character select screen, the World Tournament mode, Legend of Hercule mode, etc.? I've always liked their cartoony style, and they can be made into avatars too.

To my knowledge, these beautiful renditions were never published individually online or physically through art books. I think you're out of luck unless somebody can prove me wrong. Come to think of it, I would appreciate a video game themed Dragon Ball art book, from 8-bit to 720p titles.

If you had the right program, would you be able to get the images strait from the disk?

Yeah, thanks, TheDevilsCorpse! :)

Could someone make me a clean avatar of the Piccolo icon, please? I see that Chibi Mystic Gohan made a nice one of the Great Saiyaman's icon.

Hur-cule. and this site auto corrected it. guess that answered my question huh? by the way this is a great thread I love this game :) well I love all the old Dragonball games on ps2. but my favorite is Hyper dimensions snes(super famicom)
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

I don't mean to sound demanding, but I was talking about the second one, which is of a better quality.

Thank you! :D

As a side-note, I've always liked DBZ Budoukai, despite the poor gameplay. I liked the general cartoony graphics they had (the presentation, not just the in-game character models, which I still like in spite of their badness), the story mode, the music...and I guess nostalgia probably plays a part as well. I really do regret selling it, along with Budoukai 2 (for the same reasons). :(
