Dragonball: Advanced Adventure Released Early
Moderators: Kanzenshuu Staff, General Help
It actually makes no sense with Dragon Ball since nearly all of the original music was retained for the TV airing, and kept on the DVD releases even in English.Smooth Criminal wrote:I've never understood why the American DBZ games have had to remove the Japanese themes, even when they're just instrumental. Is it because of royalty fees...? Is it because they think American audiences won't like it...? I just don't understand. It annoys the shit out of me when I pop in a game like SuperSonic Warriors and instead of being treated to ChaLa I hear some shit theme that sounds like it was slapped together in two minutes.
I also can't seem to figure out why they'd let Europe have vocal versions of Hironobu Kageyama's new music for Budokai 2 and 3, yet pull "WE GOTTA POWER" from all English versions of "Budokai Tenkaichi."

Royalties are a big part of the problem.Smooth Criminal wrote:That's right.

I just can't stand the English voiceovers, even though they only are grunts and HA's and so forth. If only Atari had been just a little bit lazier...
Grunting.
O_o
And certain musical themes.
To you it's nothing, but to me they're minor annoyances that detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.

If they're dead set on changing the music... Fine. But at least put some damn effort into it. I'll bet on Super DBZ having all of the themes replaced with recycled Budokai tunes yet again. It's just getting old. Atari can suck it.
Edit: WOOT! 500 posts! And... what's this? I'm a regular now? Yay!

For those still on the fence about getting this game or not, check out the gameplay footage I found.

That is the crappiest gameplay footage I have ever seen. It really does not do the game any justice. Does anyone know how to record from a Gameboy? I'll show you all...Akira wrote:For those still on the fence about getting this game or not, check out the gameplay footage I found.

Actually I believe some videocameras can be hooked into the gameboy and tape right off of it the way they can the tv, vcr, or a dvd. You just need the correct wires.

Amazon finally sent the game (their records never adjusted to the delays from May to June), and I must say I'm really enjoying it so far.
