The march issue?, If so the latest one I have is the feburary issue & it mentions nothing so about "Shin Budokai".

EDIT: Yeah what sangofe said, I would like a scan if it's possible.

I dunno. Has a handheld game ever been ported to a console?
The Magic Box reports that Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, a PSP exclusive at this time, will make its way to the PlayStation 2 later this year.

That's what made me think this.

They may follow suit, these Shin Budokai graphics look pretty decent.

In know this thread is about picture but can some one tell me if this game has transformation

Simply put we don't know much yet. All the pictures seem to tell us is:

Some sources seem to mention it'll be a port of DBZB3 with extras
Pikkon and Janeumba will be playable
By the looks of things, Goku, Vegeta, Brolli, Gotenks, Cooler and Freeza will also be in theer
The fighting system looks like it'll be simular to the one used in the Budokai games and may also allow the player to dash along the Z axis
The story mode will be different slightly as you can now take multiple routes depending on how you fair in a battle.

Other than that I don't think anything else has been mentioned about the game. However if it is a DBZB3 port then I think there's a 95% chance it will have in game transformations.

Oh and question marks go at the end of questions.

Funny thing is that Freeza (his thumbnail pic to be exact) is in his 4th stage form on the fighting tree in the picture we see. This means one of the three things:

a) no in-game transformations
b) game only has 4th stage Freeza as a character (as in Budokai 2)
c) game is still unfinished, and no other forms of Freeza were complete by the time the pic was made (unlikely though, since all Budokai 3 material is up and running)

d) He's purposly already in his final form just for that mode (Like how in Budokai 2 you start matches as Gotenks without having to fuse in the Time Soul Room stage ect)

But then again Goku, Vegeta and Brolli are all in their base form and so is Cooler (if I remember correctly), and I read somewhere that Cooler might have both his 4th and 5th form. Personally I'd prefer it if Freeza and Cell started in their base form and transformed into each one like they did in Budokai 3.

The fact is.. Transformation should exist IN battle and BEFORE battle.
Like if you press "L" button at characters selection and if you are
equiped with a super saiyajin capsule, you could get a character
transformed from the start. Pretty simple.
Should work in Dragon Universe too.

But the game could be like Sparking in the way charcters are selected, and that may be why different characters are in different forms in the screen shot.

Please remember that at specific parts of "Dragon Universe", you were forced to use a specific version of a specific character... even a fusion.

So seeing one of those on a story-mode screen shouldn't surprise the shit out of anyone.

True, but I wasn't a big fan of that system so I hope not.

I forgot about that. Been a while since I last played Dragon Universe.
