Revolution and DBZ

The Nintendo Revolution is coming out with the virtual library of all the past games from all previous systems except Gamecube. Do you think this will include imports too? Will Americans finally be able to play games like Legend of the Super Saiyan? If this happened, what game would you add to your virtual collection?

The Super Butoden and Hyper Dimension games would be awesome to play.

I could've sworn there was an old topic about this...

Oh well...Nintendo's also thinking about allowing Sega's old systems' games to be allowed for play on the Revolution as well, meaning...we'lll get..Damn...what was the name of the Saturn DBZ game?

As far as I've heard, it's only Sega Megadrive there's been talk about, and only the games SEGA THEMSELVES have rights for.

There were two DBZ games that were on the Saturn. DBZ Legends and DBZ Shin Butoden. Legends was also released for the PS1 and Shin Butoden was kind of a "remixed" version of Ultimate Battle 22 on PS1. They added split screen and other elements from the SNES series, Super Butoden.

A virtual system for the Super Fanicom would be awesome. I love the Super Butoden series. I think that the Super Butoden series has the best music in all DBZ games. Would the rev. play Saturn games? I think the games might be too large since it was 32 Bit.

Well, the Rev can play N64 games, so Saturn game should not be too big for it.

The most recent issue of Japanese publication V-Jump indicates that the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi series established on the Sony PlayStation 2 will also make an appearance on Nintendo's next-generation console codenamed Revolution. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi is developed by Spike and published under Atari. No details were included besides the standard line of the game taking advantage of the controller's unique motion-sensing technology. It will, however, be interesting to see how the studio applies the controller to a fighting game.

The Dragon Ball animated television show by artist Akira Toriyama spawned the popular series of cel-shaded fighting games of which Tenkaichi is the latest. The first was released in October 2005 for PlayStation 2 and achieved an average review ranking of 69 percent according to GameRankings.com (based on 29 reviews).

For more details on the over 30 third-party studios who've pledged support for Nintendo's next-generation console, be sure to check out N-Sider.com's A Third-Party Revolution feature.

The Virtual Console does include imports, atleast for Nintendo systems, I'd imagine that they'd allow other systems. Thus far they have the NES, SNES, N64, "best of" Genesis, "best of" Turbografix. But there have been rumors that they might allow Nights to be downloaded, if that is the case, I don't see why not any other Saturn game. Well, it's still awesome that we get a DBZ game with Revmote capabilities. Now if we get a OP game my life would be complete.

majinrod153 · Post by **majinrod153** » Fri Apr 21, 2006 8:58 am

Well, I read that Sega might be creating the sequel to Nights on the Rev, but they might make the Saturn game for download to show how good of a game it is.

Who would have ever thought that it could be possible to play DBZ Legends on a Nintendo system?

Not that this would be the first game to released on the PS2 and a next generation console (Tomb Raider Legends springs to mind) but this still seems like an odd move for Nintendo, considering they didn't even release their own copies of Budokai 3 or Tenkaichi.

While I'm tempted by the chance to play a DBZ game on a next generation console, I'm hesitant to run out and buy a Nintendo Revolution. I've been a big customer of theirs for years, but this new controller marketung scheme is just baffling, while the PS2 is already a well tested and proven platform.

Indeed. Not to mention the fact that Nintendo keeps saying that "the Revolution is addressed to people who are NOT into PS2s, Gamecubes and Xboxes". Well, I guess that means that the Revolution is not for guys like me, is i?

What they meant by that was it can be picked up and used by people who aren't normally into video games period, but it'd still appeal to those who are long-time gamers as well.

Personally I'm looking forward to the Revolution specifically because of the new kind of controller. After seeing some of the previews, I think they made the right move with it, but of course we'll really have to wait until e3 to see.

Many people are hoping for games that were never released in America to be available for Revolution. I doubt that Nintendo of America would take the time to translate them now, and I don't think American Revolution owners will be able to access the Japanese version of the place where players buy the old games. So, unfortunately, I doubt we' ll have the option of playing the old DBZ games. I really would like to play those Super Butoden games though.

majinrod153 · Post by **majinrod153** » Fri Apr 21, 2006 7:20 pm

Who knows, they might let us download japanese games, and just give us a warning telling us that this game is only in japanese. Another scenario, could be that Atari might grab those games and have them translated for us, if we beg them for it.

Apparently, this technology is what puts the "revolution" in Revolution. However, while Nintendo promises that the new controller scheme will automatically have a "second nature" feel to it, they have confirmed that a Gamecube-style "regular" shell controller will be sold separately to please those among us who fear change (read: classic gamers).

Personally, I'm eager to give this new experience a try. I can't imagine how it'd be incorporated into something along the lines of DBZ, but who knows? Maybe it'll be an improvement over the original Sparking! controls.

Just a quick note, Lemmy. It isn't inherintly "classic gamers" that would be interested in that style of controllers; as by nature there are a lot more who prefer the sort that accompanied the NES, and the SNES (the "real" Classic Gamers, which I consider myself as), more than the GameCube. It's generally accepted that people who prefer a certain console/controler are refered to as "<console-name> enthusiasts", so in this case the controller would be geared towards GameCube enthusiasts, rather than 'classic' gamers.
[Because, as you know, the GameCube isn't a "classic" console yet; that'll take another 10-15 years.]
